Well I found them when I did a google on SA-80s. I thought the top one looked pertty cool and I thought that maybe UKF mod team might be working on it or the bottom one.

The carbine you posted in the second pic is in Kabal's SA-80 pack.

I seem to remember UKF saying they'll consider making the  carbine since it's now starting to be fielded. Not sure what their stance on making L85s with reciever handles/ironsights is though.

Edit:- don't hold me to this though.

This is how the SA80A2C looks like:

no, it was fixed in the A1 version a small guard was added on the magazine release catch shortly after the L85 was first fielded smile_o.gif

There must have been some funny/scary/emarrasing moments before they fitted the guard. biggrin_o.gif

Anyway, I think UK is the only country to actually use the SA80.

Actually it wasnt HK. Enfield, who made the orignal weapons, changed the mag release after the first order batch were delivered and the problem was recognised.  Although the fix was crap, you could still release the mag if you hit it hard enough, it was a big imporovement.

HK went the extra step with the A2 improving on Enfielfd's fix so that now you can no longer just bash your weapon on your chest and get all embarressed when you heard the clatter.  

When I joined up in '89 I know a few people who had to run back down the road to pick up theirs mags when were out training.  Coming back without them was a serious offence.

And yes the UK is the only country in the world that uses them.  Enfield aren't allowed to export them.  God knows why not but most other countries proably dont want 'em either smile_o.gif

I know a few guys now that have G-36s instead.

Continuing Off topic...

Some units have been trialing the G36 for some time. It is/was a contender for replacing the SA80 in several years time.

Getting back on topic...

Tankie...is that going to be included in the next UKF update?
