Hasn't the Brit Army spent millions, billions?, continually reworking them just to have more expensive crap.
.
Well, you wouldn't want the British army to have cheap crap would you?

When I first joined the NZ Army in the early 1970's we were informed by our instructers that the New Zealand Army had the finest weapons in the world as they had been tested in two world wars and if we did not believe it we could check the rifle numbers against the Boer War, WW1 and WW2 soldiers that were issued with these weapons.
SA-80 . It looks like half a scoreboard when South Africa play the All Blacks.
NZ-970.... SA-80.

Light Machine Gun Model of 1928 based on Belgian 9.72 mm BAR was used by Polish Army since 1930.

A bloke who joined us from the Brit Army told us about the SA 80. He said the bastard who designed it should be shot
back in the late 70s the british Army introduced "Clansmen" kit radios, which were designed to replace larkspur kit.

i was told by a Royal Siggie that they got all of the Foremen and yeomen of Signals who had less than a month to go in the armyand asked them to design a radio kit for the eighties.

And that is why Clansmen kit was so bloody terrible.

But then, as I said, the M16 was flawed when it was first introduced aswell.
Another problem with the M16 in vietnam was the ammo. the US army ordered the stuff from all over the place but the ammo produced for the civvie version was far superior and worked all of the time.
