Should British Army upgrade?

Susats are aweful. We're using lds with cqb's ontop in our role. The rest seem to have acog. Demarco use the NATO standard 5.56 too

I agree that f2000 aint gona happen though. Same with G36C. I don't know where that has come from.

And that bbc report confirms everything i've been told

Maybe the new 'Scottish Army' could try a new model? I'm assuming that the Scots Regiments (who will be sadly and sorely missed) have to give back the guns the English bought for them once they have their independence.
Or did I get that wrong?

Don't the Irish use Steyr AUGs or something like that?

What about that other bullpup rifle the TAR 21?

Aren't they supposed to be pretty good?

It seems the British army will never get it right. They've finally upgraded from the browning, but instead of going to the favourite, for many SF units, sig sauer p226, they have gone for the lighter glock 17. This is disappointing. Could have at least chosen the .45acp version...

Might be political implications to buying them, Israel has not been playing nice recently. Also, given how much money is involved, EU states would surely want to award contracts to companies at home if not other euro companies?

they should upgrade the sa80 so its ambidextrous, apart from that its a pretty good battle rifle
its well balanced and accurate, all the issues are fixed and then new acog sights are the dogs
i would gladly use it again an enemy with a 416 or a 7.62 rifle
