Then Bren gun had a firing rate of about 500 rounds per minute, it was deliberately kept low by design.

The MG42 had a firing rate of anywhere from 900 to 1500 depending on the variation and bolts that they used.

The MG42 had a much longer effective range as well. I like the Bren, it was originally considered to be a good low cost weapon. But I would probably take the MG42 just over the quick ability to get rounds downfield over a longer distance. with more accuracy.
