Ex Crab air, I deal mainly with the Provisional wing of the AA (REME) at the moment.
The L85A2 is possibly the most accurate 5.56 assault rifle I have fired, but its also the heaviest. The new magpul plastic mags are the D's B's, 2/3rds of the weight of the H&K metal ones, and you can tell how much you have left in the mag.
The Bullpup configuration means that the barrel is still 21" long so the MV is high enough to still do damage at 300/400m, the same cannot be said for the M4/M16 clones that have 16" or 11" barrels.
Another decent weapon is the new L129 Sharpshooter, the matched barrel really gives the edge in accuracy, it outshoots the HK417 IMO.
