Hi everybody!
Today I'm gonna tell you about awsome british rifle from Falkland islands war. It was just a prtotype , but some of this guns were on use if british army. Of course I'm talking about L85. It was just in development , but like I said it was tested of Falkland islands.
History:
History of the project cames from 40's. British army wanted a brand new assault rifle with non-standard caliber. There were some concepts , but they weren't good. Afrer ammo standarisation in NATO XL70E3 came in. It wasn't on army use , but after it XL85E1 has born. It was field tested during Falkland islands war and after few modifications it's on use to this day (Yup , I just skiped it maybe by 95%)
