    Maybe it’s just me but I always thought the L85 is pretty cool.

      The idea was pretty cool. The execution, not so much. Unreliable at best, unfortunately, which is the last thing you want in a firearm, especially a personal defence variant.

        I thought the A2 was pretty reliable.

          As long as you don’t try and use it in a dusty/sandy/muddy environment. Which is to say, everywhere the UK military has been in the last thirty years.

          Edit: The weapon platform got better in later revisions, but never shed the reputation, and that means the servicemen don’t trust it, which is awful from a morale viewpoint. The sooner it’s completely replaced the better for myriad reasons.
