Die Hard?

Die Hard is only a one man army, he doesnt count

As far as my experience goes, I personally think we would all be better off with the L98

. My mate's gun jammed 8 times in 20 rounds. It's a marvel of engineering.

And, of course the L85 exists!

(from wikipedia) "The L85 rifle is a variant of the SA80 family"

Just think of an analogy: "Diet coke is a variant of the coca cola family"

So by your logic Diet Coke doesn't exist.

I got to fire the L85 when I was in Afghanistan last and liked it a lot better then C-7A2 I had at the time. It had an almost zero kick to it, simply amazing. For those that do not know the C-7A2 is the Canadian variant of the M-16.

If you liked the lack of kick on the L85 youd love the AUG too. I found the kick off of a .45 glock to be harder

The rifle Australia uses is something like that, Steyr or something. Something like that AUG. I think, I don't know anything much about weapons except that they fire bullets that are not your friend. I've only fired 2 weapons in my life myself, the Beretta and a .357 revolver or something. Both pistols of course. I have yet to try a rifle. Only rifles you can shoot in Australia, I think, are sniper rifles, as in when you are licensed. No automatics allowed.

ive shot a pump action 12 gauge and a 22cal rifle great fun

The SA80 was so rubbish it was on the news regularly in complaints by soldiers, they tried to fix it a few times I think and this is the latest revision now, only took 20 years and a couple wars

yes, H&K were contracted to fix the SA80 mk1 after the first gulf war, the SA80 mk2 has got several different internal parts that vastly increased its performance in dusty theatres. the SA80 mk1 was designed for a cold war European war (i.e. wet), not a middle Eastern one.

I thought the l85 was just the export version of the SA80. I wonder why we call the carbine version the L22.

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE.

We all know that you can barely own a box cutter in England, let alone guns.

They'll be confiscating butter knifes soon by the sound of it.
