I was an Army cadet in the mid 80's and on an annual camp I also remember meeting a soldier who had served in the Falklands (I have a feeling that it was "served" rather than "saw action" but this was a long time ago) but I also remember him talking about this subject as it started with him explaining how you could "convert" an SLR into a full auto weapon by using a matchstick. I don't remember how and it sounded incredibly dangerous to the firer but that was what he claimed.
He also said that most of the soldiers preferred the Argentine FN FALs.
