yes are eqiupment sucks but thats down to our sucky goverment building it cheaply not our forces, also we use the SA80 which is a bloody great weopon

Yep. The SA80 was the one that jams all the time.

"In conclusion, I cant say I know what went wrong when the SA-80 was made, the design in theory would appear to be of near kalashnikov simplicity, maybe it is all the fault of the famous British trade unions? For a modern assault rifle, the SA-80 is uncomfortable to carry (especially concerning the position of the cocking handle and its desire to slip into bruising your arm on long tabs), the rifle is too heavy for its size (it even has a weight in the forward hand guard to balance the weapon), and its reliability and general durability are sub-standard to an alarming degree. I have had the mis-pleasure of seeing people breaking off warn top covers and seeing trigger mechanism housing pins falling out near at will. On the other side of things the rifle is marvellously accurate on the range, and so long as it is kept near 100% clean and well oiled it will perform well. However everybody other than the MoD seem to realise that keeping a rifle perfectly clean when in a muddy trench for extended periods of time when it is pissing it down with rain drops the size of hamsters heads isn't exactly practical, the rifle 556 is hardly of kalashnikov quality. Back to the other hand, the various sights for the rifle are all durable and of high quality (I have never heard of a SUSAT getting broken), maybe those chaps at Enfield were making a target rifle after all? In my opinion, although the SA-80 is not as bad as some make it out to be, it is in Britains best interest to replace it with a real rifle asap, maybe keeping the SUSAT's and bayonets. The reason it has gone down so poorly with those who have to use it is probably due to comparing it with the previous issue SLR, whereas the SLR was a lion, the SA-80 is a cockroach (an annoying bugger which you cant get rid of). I would hate to think how our casualties might have looked if we had adopted the SA-80 before the Falklands conflict of 82."

Oh that SA-80. Cumbersome, clunky, cheap.. made with plastic parts that break.

LMAO FFS READ MY POSTS PROPERLY

i have said so many times already our goverment sucks, to save money the contract for our weopons go to the cheapest producer and thus they suck, the weopon made properly is great but they way the goverment sort it makes it suck and break, maybe if you shared the oil money we could get a better producer

You're a liar. You just said the SA-80 was a great weapon, and I just proved otherwise. The SA-80 if it gets wet craps out. The weapon even if made right, craps out in bad conditions.

Shared the oil money? Don't be idiotic. The oil revenues in Iraq goes to the Iraqi government (hence why the Iraq government is spending $2.2 bn for weapons this year).

keep repeating that.. doesn't make it true. Even if it is built properly, it still craps out in bad conditions.

we all know that the americans have a good part of the oil? can you bloody f--king prove it for once? I can't stand you people who hate America so much you keep screaming about the same crap over and over again and never back it up ever.

i will back it up but later, its morning here and i have school in a min
try using a SA80 before you comment on it
 
Re: war talk gian

you can't back it up because no evidence exists for the claims.

Try using an SA-80.. no thanks.. I don't want to have something crap out like that. It craps out in variable weather conditions. I provided evidence, you didn't. So simply: You're wrong, i'm right.
 
Re: war talk gian

LMAO you wish gian
back this up is very very easy but pitty i have to go now, ill be back maybe if i can get on in R.E

Re: war talk gian

I like the M4A1, M60, M249 SAW and M2 Browning. All very fine pieces of weaponry.

Well you have to give them some credit for actually using the "Bullpup" configuration...
