This fine weapon I had the luck to fire the other day at Air Cadets was one of the greastest experiences of my life. It has amazing kickback and can even take the leg off of a man at 1000 yards! A SA-80 would never even do that! It was one of the British Armies greatest weapons and served for many years. Some countrys have given up on AK-47's and the like and have even reverted back to this. The Royal Marines were still using it for sniping in the 1980's. This shows what an amazing operational ife the weapon had. In my opinion it is the greatset implement of war evr created.

Are you sure? You probably used the No. 8 or .22 Rifle it has a ''free floating'' black barrel and fires small thin cartridges. Something like this-
