There is something to be said for the lineage of the MG42, most modern armies use a belt fed man portable machine gun. Could it be that these are a better option or could it be that the Indians have discovered a Bren gun secret.

Well, I'm talking about the weapons as they were used in WW2. It's just a fun discussion.
The Bren was used for a reason and it had its advantages over the MG-42. Brits used it until the Falklands.
Also, the Marines have just ditched the M249 for the M27 IAR which uses a box magazine.
