Structure
The Vltor Bren Ten is externally identical to the Bren Ten, and retains the external shape and style of the Bren Ten. Internally, the Vltor Bren has several changes that were made to address performance and safety concerns, allow for more modern manufacturing techniques, and make it a stronger and more reliable pistol.
One major and embarrassing problem which plagued the original Bren Ten was the unavailability of magazines. A number of pistols were actually shipped without magazines. The Vltor, however, has been designed not only to use its own magazine (which doubles as a takedown tool, as did those for the Bren Ten), but can also use magazines from the Tanfoglio/EAA Witness series of 10mm and .45-caliber pistols. These are widely available, though thousands of magazines have been made even before full-scale production of the pistols. Unfortunately for owners of the original Bren Ten, these magazines will not work in those pistols.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
“With sixty staring me in the face, I have developed inflammation of the sentence structure and definite hardening of the paragraphs.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
