The late 1980s-early 1990s. I personally saw them in use with Brit SAS when a large contingent of "THEM" deployed to Australia for desert training prior to Gulf War 1. Of the few I was able to get my dirty paws on, they were all P226, I don't know if they had any others.

Brit SAS also used the XM-177E2 version of the CAR-15 in limited numbers.

The standard 90's sniper rifle. Occasional in continental and foreign based UK units. VERY rare in UK ones.

This would have been the crossover period as there were still large numbers of the L42A1 in service in the early 1990s.
Plus there would also be some Parker-Hale M82 rifle. Possibly with EOD units and also in civilian police service, as I believe the military felt the M82 was a bit too finicky or not robust enough (or something of that nature) for army use. However the greatest number served as training rifles in the Cadet forces as the L81, all chambered for 7.62mm NATO but these are configured as civilian target rifles rather than proper sniping rifles.

A modified 7.62mm 'Bren' this weapons was issued as an LMG to support units who did not require GPMG. I have no idea of the amount made. But see L1A1.

Not a huge number in existence as they were all conversions of .303 Brens (using the knowledge gained by Inglis of Canada from the manufacture of Nationalist Chinese contract Bren guns chambered for the 7.92x57mm Mauser round)

There was also another Browning machinegun in use with British forces and it was found in large numbers due to the use as a co-ax on earlier tanks and for arming APCs. The L3, the British designation for the Browning M1919A4.
If you really want to mess with the PCs supply chain, these British Brownings could be the WW2 era Mk1 and Mk2 models that were chambered for .303

I believe that up to the 1980s the British also kept modest stocks of the Vickers Machine Gun as a potential support MG. the notion being that they would be chambered in 7.62mm NATO as the South Africans and Australians had done to some of their Vickers guns. I don't have any solid references to this but the Vickers was still used until March 1968 and if it was kept in war stores for the same 20-30 year period that Australia has, it's possible there would still be stocks of them in the 1990s.

Cheap bunker and light vehicles buster. If the US is still using this, The UK would too. (How heavy is this for those who carried it?)

2.5kg from memory but that's approximate because there's minor variation based on what model and who made it.
