chas Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thought you guys might find this picture interesting, as painted L85s (or SA85 or whatever) are scarce. Stolen from www.uktactical.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darkchild130 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Thought you guys might find this picture interesting, as painted L85s (or SA85 or whatever) are scarce. Stolen from www.uktactical.com Im quoting this picture as its mine. They are Tel and Rizzo, Ncos from my platoon. That is not paint, it is desert sniper tape dyed with coffee. And it isnt his personal weapon, he borrowed it off Dave (who also owns the taped up L96). They posed with those weapons for lairiness. And its not an SA80, its an L85A2. The family of weapons is collectively called SA80. Darkchild Edited January 21, 2009 by darkchild130 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Nice. Sussed the tape but why died with coffea, no paint available? As for the L85A2 i know i was simply correcting the previous posters SA85 in brackets.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1st_shooter Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Saw one of the IWS sights on ebay not long ago, i was quite tempted as it was rather cheap at the time, is that where you got it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
M4_Fanatic Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Nothing special compared to some of the kick *albatross* guns here, but still. PS: (I was playing around with photoshop and ended up with that). Any other ideas on what I should add to it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) Star L85A2 with SUSAT and latest Star handguard... This is the weapon of the British Soldier. Not as clumsy or random as an M16; an elegant weapon from a more civilized age... Edited January 24, 2009 by Panoptes Quote Link to post Share on other sites

piesoft Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 New DMR variant or just an LSW? (fourth one in), looks like the new temperate cam they're showing it off on as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, got to love ebay! Latest Mod: HKa2 sticker (This is completely from memory as I lost the photo I took of the RS!), vinyl sticker made using a cutter, not sure how long it will last.

Darkchild Do you say that because its sh1te in the role that it was originally desinged for? Apparently it's being used as a DMR in the Middle East, a role that its probably more suited to..?

darkchild130 Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 no i say that because its a useless, awkward, heavy POS with no place in a modern army. Put a heavy barrel on an L85A2 and a grippod and it will do the job as well as or better than an LSW. It's no more accurate than a rifle, does not have the capacity to suppress effectively as an LSW as well as being stupidly front heavy and hard to manouvre in tight confines.
