Comment. Light 7.9=mm guns, model Brno 1986, were vsed
dy S@veral Soviet units during World War it, They had been taken
from Lithuanian Arwy stocks and had characteristics similar to
the licht machine sun, model TSB -53, It sesns probable that
the letter machine gun was a product of the Erno Arns Factory,
Czechoslovakia, and has been issued to some Soviet units under
the bilateral arms exchanrcs program between the U.8.S.R. and
Czechoslovakia. See Annex for photosraphs of - Paze 75 and 76
