[C_o^ynt . Light 7 .9 -mm guns, model Brno 1926, were used 

oy several Soviet units during World War II. They had been taken 
^rom Lithuanian Array stocks and had characteristics similar to 
the light machine gun, model TSB —53o It seems probable that 
the latter machine gun was a product of the Brno Arms Factory, 
Czechoslovakia, and has bean issued to some Soviet units under 
the bilateral arms exchange program between the U.S.S.R. and 
Czechoslovakia „ See Annex for photographs of Pa^e 75 and 76 
of the manual.
