The SA80 is one of the most accurate rifles in the world, it it also designed for manoeuvrability on the battlefield (hence the design of it) and allows the soldier to move more "effectively" with his rifle while fighting.
why the hell would you want to use a shitty SA80 when you could use a better gun? Besides, I think it looks stupid. And if the clip falls out when you accidentally hit a button, then you have a USELESS stupid looking gun. How lovely.
The magazine problem has been sorted out in the A2 version. Do you think the M16 for example was right first time? Seeing as their is an A2 version for that then I think not!
Also what does it matter what the rifle looks like? Its designed to kill NOT to look good.GingerNinja wrote..

Para, you are obviously forgetting the fact that most American's cannot tell the difference between England and Britain on top of which most of them have never heard of Wales or know where it is.Comment

You can chime in on any other news item and try to get insulted. Depending on the mood of the mods, this is likely to be banworthy or at least frowned upon. So why have an entire feature based on it?
The thing i'm getting at isn't whether or not i like mailbags; i'm well aware that i can not read them. It's that given other current and future features of the site, what space do mailbags fill? I'm not trying to go all gung-ho about people constantly giving multiple paragraph opinions all the time. It's just that given the limited scope of what a mailbag can do when focused on one game, i'm simply not seeing the point of keeping it around.
What communication? It's basically people sending in stupid shit for rizzuh to ridicule while they act like it's a prize. It's gotten to the point where everyone involved has gotten comfortable with droll idiocy, and i don't see how this is a good thing.
SAve de Wales.. :PComment

Something had definitely been missing from this mailbag, until I saw this comment (emphesis added).SinaC wrote..
Ahhhh, much better.
i agree wit mouth... i dont think the mailbags have been very good lately... this was the worst mailbag ive seen in ... ever. moer CP~
As far as the SA-80 controversy, it's still a problematic gun, though the A2 version is far superior to the trainwreck that was the L85A1 release. I like the idea of a bullpup assault rifle, as it does considerably shorten the overal length, and having a SUSAT 4X scope come standard is pretty nice too, though I'm always a fan of having a good set of backup iron sights.
Still, everything I've been reading is pointing towards the Brits moving to the G36 within a few years, assuming they can afford it. The L85A2 had a lot of parts strengthened and a slight redesign, but it's still got some inherent flaws to the design, unfortunately. There was some buzz from Brit troops in Afghanistan that there were still problems with the gun and such, but so it goes.
As far as the training SA-80, that'd likely be the L98A1 variant for most areas, which is basically the same gun, but the gas system is gone, and the cocking lever is larger (it's a single-shot gun).
So, when's that OICW gonna be ready, eh? :)Zyndrome wrote..
Sounds like the good life there! Boy, I sure wish I could spend more of my life taking out the trash, doing dishes, and feeding a dog. That would just complete my life! It'd certainly be waaaay better than talking to other people I know and spending some time together playing a game we both enjoy. Yep, bring on the dishes, 'cause Counter-Strike sucks.
Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, feed the dog, instead of wandering around worried about if Team9 will go 1st place in CPL or not. Thank God! Amen!

I heard a while back that some problems with the SA80 were party due to the fact that the prototype was made of different materials than the rifle that was produced in the end. They change what it was made of to cut the costs. However I don't know if that is 100% true...
While it is true the SA80 has problems it does have its up sides aswell from what I've posted and what Nighthawk mentioned above. If the rifle is well maintained and looked after then many of the problems are solved in the short run.Comment

This has probably been said, but i skim thru the comments. I like Rizzuhs comments on each mailbag. the only reason i submited mine was because i wanted a laugh. That and the chicks. I know the chicks arent coming but nevertheless its all in good humor. God knows if he gave not-so-smart-ass comments i wouldnt read it at all.
also, whats sad is i was completely honest with my submissionComment

The M-16A2 is actaully about the 3-4 release of the gun.
The magazine problem has been sorted out in the A2 version. Do you think the M16 for example was right first time? Seeing as their is an A2 version for that then I think not!
Also evil penguin the army doesnt even use the m4. They use the Car-15 and that is normally only used by Spec Ops such as delta force and rangers and by Israeli Spec Ops.Comment

What weapon you uses depends on who you are in the US Army...
High Speed - m4 (or whatever you want to)
Front Lines (as in Iraq) - m16a4
CONUS - probably m16a2
National Guard - m16a1 (or a2)
You can choose to belive me or not. But make sure you know what you are talking about.Comment

actually charlie i no for a fact that delta force uses the car-15 still. The marines use the m-16a2 and there have been people mentioning that they might switch to the m4 as their main service rifle. (my uncles a Lt. Col. served in afghanistan as a major and got promoted to lt col in iraq) .and delta force is army just not a very main branch. I admit i was wrong about most of the army using it but i know for a fact its favored in spec. ops.

yeah man your right... but its an SA-80 not SR-80, and the Aus. Army utilizes the Steyr.
I thought the SR-80 was the main gun for England's army, they are both the bullpup design... but I am positive the AUG is the main weapon for the Austrian armyComment
