SA80

A series of weapons design for the British military, produced in the 1980's, three weapons were produced in the range, the L85A1 assualt rifle, the L86 LSW and the L98 CGP. Complaints of the early versons of the L85 and L86 were exagerated by the media, the revamp has made the L85A2 and L86A2, undoutably the best weapon series in the world today, stoppages are all attributed to the rounds, new sturdy magazines allows 30 round filling, old magazines would rarely jam with 30 rounds. Do not rate this weapon on what the media says, you have to be like me, live with it and use it regularly to know it.

Another name for the L85A1, the name of the british standard-issue assault rifle.

"The SA80, otherwise known as the L85A1, is a bullpup assault rifle chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO, 30 rounds. It seems like a nice gun; I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one. ^_^ "

SA80

Assault rifle used by the British Army. Stands for Small Arms for the 1980's. It was produced in the 1980's and is most likely to be taken out of service in 2015. The guns in the SA80 rang are the L85A1, the L86A1 LSW and the L98A1 CGP. They have a round velocity of 900m/s and they use the NATO standard 5.56mm calibre and are fed by a magazine with a capacity of 30 rounds but is filled with 28 to stop jamming. The rifles are made of plastic and are made mass production, hence so many people complain they are "cheap and plasticky", maybe because they are from the 80's. Despite all this it is a good overall weapon.

"Dude, let me shoot you with my SA80."
