Indeed, the A1's firing pin kept snapping etc but, the A2 beats any other rifle, in most areas, proven fact. Plus the .50 cal, both the sniper and machiw gun, is one of, if nt the best bit of kit ever.


Agree : )

Indeed I've only come across the SA80 in real life, the problems that I was told about was jamming and the firing pin as well as bad resistance to dirt and stuff (love the Finnish RK casue it like never ever jammed) cause guns and shooting in general are a bit of a hobby of mine :p but yeah I guess the A2 must be an improvement then, I learned something new then ^^

  ofcourse there is a minority who do have the qualifications, mainly because the army probably offered to pay for all their education in return.

its like saying mcdonalds have people with business degrees and highly expierenced finace managers. However over 95% of the employees are the useless burger flippers.

Likewise the army is mainly built up with meat heads, although its not a terrible idea to join if you dont have the grades or ability to do anything else


The army is a mix, it contains some very intelligent people and some meatheads, just like many professions. of course you get your 16 year old school 'meathead' leavers, but at least they are taught some discipline, and they ain't roaming the streets causing trouble. but you also get some very skilled people in the army, medics, officers, electricians, top soldiers. some1 at my college got AABB at A-level which is pretty good and went into the Royal Marines. some people just like that career path, it dont really matter about intelligence


this is spot on tbh

Ye mate, nowa days the only cause is down to peoples shit admin, rare you get a stoppage. and the bit about the dirt thing, well look at the endurance course on the marines tests and youll see that it goes though mud, water filled tunnels and still fires at the end of it ^^ ; P
