The L98A1 Cadet general purpose rifle is the standard bolt action fire arm of British cadet forces. It is design based on the L85A1 (the individual weapon version of the SA80 system). Fires 5.56mm Nato standard Ammunition. Has a muzzle velocity of 940m/s. It is destinguishable from the L85A1 (and A2) by the larger cocking lever and the lack of a flach suppressor and gas parts. very reliable and accurate.
