L85 bullpup rifle

Hi everybody!

Today I'm gonna tell you about the awsome British rifle from the Falkland Islands war. It was just a prtotype , but some of these guns were  used by the british army. Of course I'm talking about the  L85. It was just in development , but like I said it was tested during the  Falkland Islands wars.

History:

History of the project cames from the 40's. The British army wanted a brand new assault rifle  with non-standard caliber. There were some concepts , but they weren't good enaugh. Afrer the ammo standarisation in NATO XL70E3 came in. It wasn't on the use of the army  , until the XL85E1 was born. It was field tested during the Falkland Islands war and after a few modifications it's on use to this day (Yup , I just skiped it maybe by 95%)
