British Army Small Arms (was British Infantry Rifles)
At the minute this just covers the standard rifles, when I have time I will add sniper rifles, etc.

I must admit mate, I'm impressed! Good write up, well researched and the fictional bits are well written and make sense.

Nice piece of work - I particularly like the quotes in the sidebars.
Well done.

Good Article about the regular British Army. I know that the SAS and whatever the 14th Intelligence company is now designated uses some different weapons.
For the 14th they use the Walther PPK Browning High Power(probably replaced by the SIG P226) MP5K HK53 short assault rifle G3KA4 short assault rifle The SAS uses similar weapons, but given that they are tasked with Direct action some things are added lile the M16 with M203. Then Again this is TW2K and some things didn't happen and other things got put into production. |

In the 90's the anti-terror SAS units did tend to be more standardised, carrying the MP5 and 9mm Browning HP sidearms.

Royal Military Police Close Protection teams also used most of these. P226/228 is now on general issue in Afghanistan. SAS etc tend to use the C7 and C8, they previously also used the Car15 (see the film Who Dares Wins for a good shot that showed this before it was ever officially stated). I'll put some notes in on these for the next edition. |

A couple other firearms to consider could also be the British made version of the G3A3 and G3A4 which I have personally seen when I was in england all had enfield markings! Great write up.
