Hi everybody!

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%)
