The reaction of Bromide depends on how much bromide you have.
With enough bromide it is possible to get CH2Br-CHBr-CH2-CBr2-CHBr2.
Both double and triple bonds can get brominated.
But if there are limited amount of bromide, then double bonds react with bromide faster than triple ones forming mainly CH2Br-CHBr-CH2-CCH but also CH2=CH-CH2-CBr=CHBr.
