Considering it's all 3D printed and a GBB, they should have tried to make the pistol grip section pivotable instead of stuck to being only right handed friendly.. 

 

Wouldn't it be possible to make a mirror copy of the original 3D file(s)?

Making a left hand version should be quite possible for them.

Well the real problem is not a right handed / left handed model, but ambidexterity. Despite which is your primary position, shooting from both shoulders is incredibly important in our game. Having a gun that can only be used in one way or the other is a nogo.

It is more important in real life, a fact a number of Armies have forgotten

Can you actually shoot the SA80 left handed in some sort of modified stance? It looks painful otherwise..

 

Yes.  Always been possible, taught more often in recent times than in the past.  Of course when people who've never even touched one, let alone fired it, want to bash the gun that's the first thing they jump on and why let hard facts ruin ones' fun right?  Not saying it's ideal, far from it, but people who say it's impossible are ignorant of the reality.

 

What they need to do is just re-design the cocking handle; every time I've seen the Tavor (and similar) shot left handed, the brass seems a pretty much non-issue, plus ejectors and extractors can be adjusted.  Remove the current handle, remove a small piece from inside the body, replace the left hand recoil rod with something clever that allows an extended rod to run through the pre-existing holes in the breech block down the left side of the gun and out to the front, fit a handguard to accommodate.
