>The British Army is replacing the L85 rifleWhat rifle should they pick to replace it?
muh dik
>>64459582ar18
>>64459582famas
>>64459582AKB-23 (it's also an AR-18)
>>64459582They should go back to the FAL
>>64459582this or an AR made by Bersa
>>64459582G11 mark ii
>>64459582Diemaco ARs or KAC ARs, they already field them and have extensive experience with them and it's not like they have to equip a large army. It would be funny as fuck if they got the AKB-23/BRN-180, and even if a meme it would still technically be an improvement
I hope they pick a bullpup.
>>64459582Knowing how the British are. It'll be something made by HK, FN, or SIG. They are no longer interested in making guns.
>>64459582
>>64459582M4A1 variant. No piston faggotry.They should also use it on Starmer and the entire British political leadership at this point.>>64459640About time someone made that.
>>64460375>no piston The AR15 is the fucking Apple of the rifle world, everyone else uses Windows/Piston.
>>64459582Bren
>>64459582They need to find another bullpup, probably in a higher caliber. Going from a 20 inch to a 14 is a massive loss in performance. Bullpup is the way, ars just have a lot of rnd.
>>64459582Would be cool if they went with something like the VHS. Probably will just go with the 416.
>>64459582F90 AUG. Bullpup, designed and built by member of the Commonwealth, modular, works great.
>>64459582FAL
>>64459582Another (possibly piston) AR
>>64459582416
>>64459582Most likely the 416 as that's what everyone is adopting. It'd be funny if they adopted a bullpup again though, especially if it's strictly motivated by stubborn national pride and doubly so if they adopt a foreign bullpup like the VHS or the Tavor
>>64459582An AR-15 derivative./thread.
>>64459582416 or beretta narp
SKS
Didn't they pick the KS-1 and already buy enough to arm like 40% of their regular army?
>>64459582Just buy a fucking Ar-15 pattern rifle. I don't know why the MoD has to be so fucking gay and obtuse about this.
>>64459582It will be an HK416 or whatever the FN AR15 short stroke piston clone is.But they should get one of the following>Desertech MDRx>Steyr AUG>Beretta ARX160>IWI Tavor X95 (but steal the design and don't give a penny to Israel)
>>64461666insaars
>>64461666>TripsWhat have you done saar?Now do the needful and redeem all poos in this image!
>>64459582An L86 LSW (aka: cold war BREN) for every man!
>>64459582They're probably going to replace it with an HK416 or a Diemaco carbine, but I think they should replace it with some Indian-made rubbish since most cities in the UK are jeets and pakis now.t. Expat
>>64461666
>>64461579Only Royal Marines and Ranger Regiment got them.
>>64459582Hopefully something cool and fun and made in Britain. But I bet it's going to be something gay as fuck like an AR15 platform gun
Since germany is too dumb to get the superior HK rifle, someone should.
>>64459582why does it look so sexy with railsi don't like rails and i think the l85 without rails is ugly but when combined it is sexooooo
>>64460422Everywhere in NATO there are spec ops dudes using a DI AR. Canada, UK, Austria, etc.
>>64462006Nobody cares about specul forzez Normal people use piston
>>64459582Their overlords already have replacements ready.
>>64462032>Normal people use pistonThey use whatever they get issued LOL. The fact that the combatants that have some say in what they carry are looking elsewhere is proof that your pistons are overrated.
>>64462042Bin Laden was literally killed by a piston gun seethe and cope poorfag
>>64462038He meant for the rifle not for the white people
>>64462063Bin Laden was a confused annarmed man in his 50s ambushed in the middle of the night by 50 super duper elite commandos they could have shot with him a flintlock
>>64462116And yet they chose the 416, not the M4
>>64462063>Bin Laden was literally killed by a piston gun >seethe and cope poorfagA man who was unarmed at the time was killed with a piston gun. I am so impressed LOL. Your post is definitely not you coping and trying to project it. LOL
>>64462126He was shot with an MP7, not an HK 416. You don't even know the facts of your own propaganda. LOL
>>64462105>/pol/ seething about UKYawn. Did another refinery go up in smoke Sergei? 4chan needs to improve their “verify you are human” test- because brownoid and Russian influence posters (but I repeat myself) will show up any time the UK is mentioned, like clock work.
>>64462176why are you posting on the pedophile central, nigel? do you how a loicense and age verification for that?reported to your local authorities
>>64462176>What blew up today?
>>64462194>pedophile central Is this the new nickname for Russia? Very consistent how these vatniks always tell on themselves, by their projection.
>>64462206>no u good one bro
>>64459582We don't yet know a whole lot about the project, but my guess at some of the competitors would be:Beretta - NARP, Sako M23CZ - Bren 2FN - SCARHK - HK416, HK433Steyr - AUG/Australian F88Sig Sauer - SIG556, MCXColt Canada - C8Daewoo - K2(possibility of some new guns that aren't public yet and not listed here)
>>64462474NARP
>>64462474Sako M23
>>64462474Bren 2.
>>64462489>filenameRangeban all butthurt belters. Now.
>>64462474SCAR
>>64462474HK416
>>64462474HK433
>>64462474Thales Australia F88 (AUG derivative).
>>64462474SIG 556
>>64462511>he doesn't know
>>64462474SIG MCX
>>64462474C8
>>64462474K2
>>64462032>>64460422What is your obsession with piston? Fulltime suppressed it's not even justifiably better than a probably sprung and gassed full time suppressed DI system, unsuppressed it's justifiably worse.More weight out front and away from the receiver, which also requires a perfect return-to-zero handguard that goes on and off with no tools, a complete unnecessary expense when "sealed" URGIesque systems don't require the handguard to come off for any reason until the barrel is shot outExternal impingement destroys the natural smoothness of the straight pull system, and instead of dumping all the carbon into the upper receiver where its easily cleaned with a rag and CLP now you also have to remove the handguard and clean a piston and the rod in the front. The AR15 gas block is a complete no-maintenance assembly, never needs to be cleaned or adjusted. It also doesn't need to bleed off excess gas, the excess gas in an AR comes out of the vents in the BCGPiston sucks. Euros love to espouse the benefits of piston for some reason. They don't shoot a lot and they can't envision themselves standing out in the rain or snow for a couple days and having to scrape rust off their exposed piston rod spring and scrape gunky wet carbon off their gas piston. It's an inferior system. The entire piston AR trend thats sweeping europe and the world at the moment is just retarded. DI AR15s have served flawlessly for 60 years and more than meet the needs of any fake european army that will never fight a full scale war
>>64462509It's everyone's favorite bottle-sitter false flagging.
>>64462474Didn't several units go after LMT? They'll probably exrapolate replacement from this. Also Estis praised theirs and bongs are well aware of any programm costing money.
>>64461579No. They bought something like 3000
>>64462534Know what?
>>64459582They're probably gonna pick an AR either made by Colt Diemaco or LMT.
>>64462568LMT make the L129A1 sharpshooter rifle. It might be issued to a designated marksman rather than equip the whole unit.
>>64462631FN has discontinued the SCAR as a product line.More than likely they aren't seeking contracts with it.IMO, the M416 and NARP are the top candidates for an L85 replacement.
>>64462556blah blah blah piston is badBOTH the Army and the Marines adopted piston(M7 and M27) It's over for DI cucks
>>64462773>FN has discontinued the SCAR as a product lineOk so replace the SCAR with whatever FN make instead.
>>64462805FN makes IWS 264, but no way the UK will adopt it and it's gucci new caliber.
Beretta is offering pretty flexible and fair tiered deals for upto 100% domestic manufacturing if the MOD wants to pay for it. The actual platform is almost irrelevant as long as it isn't hilariously shit. All mature 5.56 platforms will perform as well as each other.
>>64462773>IMO, the M416 and NARP are the top candidates for an L85 replacement.One critical factor is what calibre they will be using. They might be moving to something like 6.5 Creedmoor which would require the gun to support a bigger bullet than 5.56.Of those guns I listed the ones where the conversion from 5.56 to 6.5 (or 7.62) would be straight-forward from an engineering perspective would be the SCAR-L/H (or whatever its replacement is), MCX, HK417 or HK433, Sako M23 and the CZ Bren 2. The NARP is a 5.56 gun and I don't know if it has much the way of being able to swap calibre (though it might).
>>64459640I always found this gun a hilarious cope. It's like a tranny gun, wearing some L85 furniture in a vain attempt to pass off as one but everyone can tell that it isn't.
Perfection
>>64462773They only discontinued the civilian line. They will still sell it to military contracts.
>>64462834>They might be moving to something like 6.5 CreedmoorOnly Americans are this retarded 5.56 is enough
>>64462839It's not a cope, nigaaaaa. It's meant to be a lookalike because the British are cucked faggots and won't sell semi-auto variants of their weapons to civilians. And also because the L85A1 look cool as fuck, despite being a piece-of-shit gun.
>>64462900And there's the cope>uhh actually it looks really cool but it's a shit gun>so I got a something that isn't as shit and looks a little bit like it if you screw up your eyes
>>64462981Nigga, you is redarted. I'm not wasting my time with you. Go play in a highway.
>>64460422Retard comparison.>>64462834They would have to be completely deluded to go with 6.5mm>>64462774Piston pop.Carrier tilt.Go dilate.
>>64462032>Nobody cares about specul forzezWhatever they use and like almost inevitably becomes the standard issue
>>64462176>LE YAWN RUSSIAMAN SLAVA UKRAINI KYEEEEEEEEVshut the fuck up retard, only trannies and jannies care about either side in the Ukraine war, just one corrupt ZOG vs another corrupt ZOG
Obvious choice
>>64462862An all around swiss army knife of firepower
>>64461896I get you, but the politicians and military leadership preferred a proven solutionIf its the same for the Brits maybe they'll grab the Bren 3 instead of yet another piston AR
>>64462474Would be hilarious if its the SCAR.
>>64461666KEK
>>64463006Seems like you proved him right, since you're lurking this thread obsessively and respond with frantic screeching to the mere mention of Ukraine
>>64462525The UK getting local licensed production (I assume they'd want at least the option to build them in Europe) of the licensed Australian redesign of an Austrian gun would be an all-time great long way around.
>>64462198>spams unrelated shit>seethes when called out
>>64462541what's up with that retarded barrel profile?
