Mike636 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Yeah they are still in the UK, may not be capable of the scale of mass production needed
Hubert Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 They are, but with the kind of manufacturing technique they use, the A2 upgrade project would probably still be on-going into the year 2057... They're a pretty small company, and they specialise in hand-made, high-tolerance, high-quality rifles. For example, the L115 rifles they did for the British Army - it took them 5 years to complete a contract for less than 30K rifles. IIRC, in 2000/2001, they only made bolt-action rifles at the time - their experiment with semi-automatic rifles (ASW50) only started in the last 5-6 years, so I doubt the MoD would have asked them.

Mos Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 Sooooo I chose the L85 which to add , is a British rifle Although not a very good one in comparison to the older British rifle, the L1A1 SLR. The L85 is said that sometimes a target would get up after being shot by an L85. But with the SLR, one would not get up after being shot with such. Still, I think the l85 looks cool. And is probably my favourite looking weapon.
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted November 7, 2016 Supporters Posted November 7, 2016 sh*t just realized What that the bloody thread is older than you and some twonk has just dug up its cold dead corpse?
Mos Posted November 7, 2016 Posted November 7, 2016 What that the bloody thread is older than you yes.
Supporters jcheeseright Posted November 8, 2016 Supporters Posted November 8, 2016 And that you're talking absolute shit. The SA80 (L85) is a superior weapon to the SLR in almost every way. 5.56 has plenty of stopping power, if you doubt that to be a fact I suggest you get someone to shoot you with it and see if you feel like getting up afterwards.
Mos Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 chill out.. pretty sure I'm not talking 'absolute sh*t'. I'm sure the current SA80 can take someone down, just there have been scenes where they have got up. Though with the SLR not as frequent someone gets up. Also, I sadly decline the kind offer of setting up someone to shoot me. I figured I'd probably die - either from blood loss, brain damage or major organ failure. To me, I couldn't take your recommendation. Thank you,
