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%)
Technical thingies:
Year of serial produciton :1985 - Present
Wieght:4.2-5.2 kg
Lenght: 780mm
Magazine capacity: 30rds
Ammo caliber: 5.56x45

Aaaand as always , shooting video.Enjoy!
I think it's enough for today.
