The Besa Machine Gun was a British version of the Czechoslovak ZB-53 air-cooled, belt-fed machine-gun, which in the Czechoslovak army was marked as the TK vz. 37. It was used extensively by the armed forces of United Kingdom during the Second World War, as a mounted machine gun for tanks and other armoured vehicles, to replace the heavier, water-cooled Vickers machine gun. Although it required a rather large opening in the tank’s armour, it was dependable and reliable. The name came from the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA), who signed an agreement with Ä�eskoslovenská zbrojovka to manufacture the gun in the UK. (Wikipedia-online)
