Hasn't the Brit Army spent millions, billions?, continually reworking them just to have more expensive crap.

Yes, the last refit cost £92M, so we were told...

Don't know if I agree with the shooting him with another make, as the SA80 has a reputation for being an extremely accurate rifle. Only problem is, you would have to make sure that you shot him in the winter, as even a grain of pollen would jam the thing up.

Hmmm... <_<

Great design, Light weight and accurate, if only they could get it to work it'd be a superb tool. But then, as I said, the M16 was flawed when it was first introduced aswell.

Mark.
