rossmum 10 Posted January 25, 2010 Stalker, just a heads-up - you're making the common mistake of cutting the rails on the RIS too deep. If you feel up to fixing them, some refs showing their proper cross-section: The cuts only go halfway through the actual rail part, not all the way through.

Moggy 0 Posted January 25, 2010 I think you'd have to scour British armories nation wide to find an A1 (thank fuck), even my OTC had A2s with SUSAT. Even the cadets have got rid of their A1s!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warden308 0 Posted January 25, 2010 Even the cadets have got rid of their A1s!!! Cadet rifles are still SA80A1s its just they've made them semi automatic now so decided to change to name from L98A1 to L98A2. Still the same rifle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moggy 0 Posted January 26, 2010 Cadet rifles are still SA80A1s its just they've made them semi automatic now so decided to change to name from L98A1 to L98A2. Still the same rifle. No that's simply not true. The L98A2s are based on the L85A2 and not the A1. In the Army Cadet magazine, they stated that the rifle is identical to the L85A2 apart from the cadet rifle cannot fire automatically. Here's a copy of the article: http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/4318/l98a2.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R0adki11 3945 Posted January 26, 2010 Really does it matter, i know some people want a realistic rifle, but this is getting abit too serious, it is only a game at the end of the day. And remember it is Stalker's free time, speaking from an Addon makers perspective near enough is sometimes good enough i have found in the past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lunatic 10 Posted January 26, 2010 Will you be adding ironsights to the SA80's? Just that scopes arent all to great come FIBUA.Hope all is well! But neither is the iron sight Zeroed at 200m. That's what the battle sight is for and I think you'll find that's what the sticky up bit is on top of the ACOG and the SUSAT. Bearing in mind that scoped weapons have glass in them that can be damaged rendering the sight useless, so a back up is always given. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prydain 1 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) From the pictures I have; all the ACOGs fitted on the L85A2 all seem to have auxiliary sights mounted on top. Edited January 27, 2010 by Prydain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossmum 10 Posted January 28, 2010 Can't speak for all models of the ACOG as it seems to vary depending on which you have, but to the best of my knowledge the backups are an integral part of the SUSAT. Some of you British Army folks may be able to confirm or correct this (whichever's needed), but I was under the impression that the carry handle/ironsight unit is mostly used by units which aren't that likely to see combat.

Redders 15 Posted January 28, 2010 You're correct, to an extent. The iron sight is typically issued to non-teeth arm units, however, as Lunatic will testify to, they get issued SUSATs on ops. Iron sights are also issued for jungle warfare. As for the SUSAT, again, correct, it's got an in-built peep-hole Emergency Battle-Sight on the top of the optic itself.

cannonouscrash 12 Posted March 2, 2010 Im slightly confused after reading a few threads.. As im sure this has been asked before. The weapons from your pictures, Are they you're own work or are they part of the UKF addons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schancky 10 Posted March 2, 2010 Im slightly confused after reading a few threads..As im sure this has been asked before. The weapons from your pictures, Are they you're own work or are they part of the UKF addons? They are the work of a BF2 mod called Project Reality. Stalker had ported them to ArmaII. PUKF released their own seperate weapon pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STALKERGB 6 Posted March 2, 2010 Unfortunately, due to very testing real life issues at the moment (pending bereavement), I have not been able to make much or any progress with these units. I am really not feeling in the right frame of mind to seriously sit down and get on with some proper work on my units. This does not mean I will stop working on them, just that I will be going slower than usual. I apologise as I know there are alot of people wanting these. When there is any update worthy news I will post it. Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smuke 10 Posted March 2, 2010 I think we should let Stalker get on with his personal life first, when he has something to tell us, i'm sure he will inform us. All the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
