Re: L85a1

my point exactly, annoying when people go blah blah blah about how guns are etc etc when they've never fired them! you in the army m8? oh btw, i read that the l85 was tested against the m16, m4, famas, g36 n ak101, came out tops on accuracy, even with the ol' ironsights, n fastest reload time, dunno what that soldier missing the magazine housing when he reloads ingame is all about!? lol

Hey, look.

A blatant contradiction.

L85A1 problems.....? switch it to semi auto...viola you have medic with short-medium range sniping abilities...and you can get off quite a few shots in semi-auto without having crazy recoil cuz its easy to line up each shot becuase you aim each shot, instead of spraying on full auto

hmmm, i Fired the gun, yes. did i test the guns? no, i read about the testing of the accuracy compared, but i have fired the gun. *refrains self from getting mildly annoyed at your ignorance*

Yet, it doesn't default to the 4x that comes standard with this rifle (Not being of military service, I'm not sure if it still does. Yet, the one I fired had a standard 4x Optic.

SUSAT issued to frontline troops i beleive, bravotwozero is the man in the know though!

...although. It's a very unbalanced weapon. I won't deny that. It's EXTREMELY back heavy.

for some odd reason i found it easier that way compared to the g3 i held, never shot one though so cant say for sure! Plus you get used to it, i did lol!

I think the L85a1 got it's bad rap because of the early models of it. The L85a1 is a very troublesome weapon; yet this is the case with most new arms. Look at the M16. It was horrible weapon, until the a1. Now, with the right care, it's a weapon than shoot very tight groups at 300m. Hell, it can even engage targets at 600m. Although, at that range you're seriously limited by the 5.56 ammunition. It's possible, just highely unlikely.

Indeed! the A2 is an amazing weapon, its reputation is because of the original, never used an A1 though, cant say for sure, from what my uncle says (ex army) was a great improvement

Re: L85a1

Funnily enough I used the weapon for some years and it is far more accurate than an Ak.
I believe it's one of the most accurate Assault Rifles around at the moment!?!
I had consitent tight groupings every time I was on the range so I dont know where you base your theory.

Wikipedia, guess I need to look elsewhere, but according to it the weapon has a bunch of recoil because of the weight in the stock, poor weather conditoion versatility and poor construction....including the "fact" (I'm thinking theory now) that the reigorous cleaning regimen required to keep it in order screws it up

Like I said, this applies to the L85a1... I don't know if the same still goes for the a2, and other variants.
