Weapons in the uk - in a t2k scenario

[Brother in Arms]

Quite honestly there are lots of firearms in the UK just mostly out of the hands of civilians.

British 1919 in 7.62 NATO would probably be around, fairly common vehicles in the 70's and 80's, Ferret and Shorland Armored cars had them. (they were also in .30-06 and .303 as well at different periods of time)

I honestly don't know how common the SA-80 would really be I think a lot of things would be different with this rifle if the twilight war had happened.

That being said the Single shot or manually operated CADET model would be an interesting rifle to have appear in the game.

Id much rather carry an SLR than any SA-80..

and yes the SAS used the XM-177 and XM-177E1 but i haven't seen the E2 being used by them. They also used the HK G3A3, G3A4 and G3A3K

Enfield even made these HK type weapons!!!!

Also there is/was a bunker in Faldingworth with about 100,000+ Ak's (and load of other arms) in it but they wouldn't be there if the war in the Balkans hadn't ended. Might be a good place to have in a game.

Probably would be quite common for the 2nd Edition timeline, I tend to agree with a few others in thinking that the product development would have been accelerated once war was looming on the horizon.

Opps my mistake, I actually meant the E1 version. I'm going to blame the keyboard because I'm certainly not going to blame my lack of attention & clumsy, fat fingers!
The SAS also used the Ingram MAC10 before they switched to the MP5 series so that's another potential weapon for British Forces.
