Okay I give up.

What is wrong?

Regarding L85/L86, "They are both incredibly accurate. " Surely that is misprint.

"Known as the 'Minimi', the Infantry's Light Machine Gun is a belt-fed weapon firing 5.56mm ammunition."

Perhaps 7.56mm NATO instead?

No 5.56x45 (.223) is right. Your thinking of 7.62x51 (.308 ).

The L85 and L86 are the most reliable weapons of their type in the world.
The SA-80 is crap if I remember right.

And the gormless look on the faces of Hart and O'Malley... Not to mention what they say... ("New skills such as patrolling!" What other skills are there!!! One of our PSIs maintained that if a unit was good on patrol skills, everything else just followed. To a considerable extent, he was right.)

Aye, an' it's nae the British Army I wor a member of, laddie! Adler is right. It is a differen' war these days!

Nowt diffrent at t' front laddie.

Fight same, bleed same.

Just how news gets home, tis different.

Used to think the lads had it different and easier these days, that was arrogant ( go on pick the typo) and wrong. We were different in a different time, under different conditions.

Nowt different about the war or the casualties, just how it is reported instantly to anarok wearers.
