Is this Bren a version 1, 2 or 3?

Doing the math in my head now. The Bren was about 20 pounds right? The magazines were about 3 pounds each once loaded. That ammo rig looks like a PITA. I mean try moving around all day with all that $#%^ strapped to your chest. I mean, I can see a little more functionality if you were in a trench, where you could stand up, and have some cover, and still have the bipod deployed. But imagine trying to go prone with that chest rig in place.

It's a good looking figure and I'll never argue against more firepower in our hobby. But, considering real life, that looks like a pure slog to drag that thing around everywhere. I'm not saying other guys in the squad nor other types of gunners had it any easier, it just seems .... so exhausting.
