I just want to walk up to Tony Blair and say: "you stupid fuckhead!!! ditch the sa-80 and buy the fucking m16!!!!"

sa-80 problems (just a few):

pistol grip comes off under stress
jams very frequently
susat falls off and breaks
low range and rpm compared to m16

Also: British boots MELT in desert conditions!!! MELT FFS!!!!
Pants are damaged easily (I fell on concrete and they got a huge hole in them)
Helmet isn't kevlar, it's nylon and is no way as powerful as kevlar helmets
Klansman radio system sucks

The only good thing about our army atm is the training

By the way you know I said I wanted to join reserve SAS, well it's not as hard as I thought, I thought you had to have past reserve or reg service, but:
