    SA80 is objectively one of the worst military rifles I have ever handled.

    Until you compete against them on a range. The brit rifle team were pretty friggen good at shooting comps and their 4x optic pissed over the Styer in precision stuff.

    On basic and corp training I was issued a brand spanking Austrian steyr, I didnt have any issues and thought it wasnt too bad. At Battallion I got what appeared to be the platoon bike, looked like everyone had used it....there was no blueing left on the barrel, the gas piston face had been rounded off and the gas plug had huge garks gouged into it from a previous owner attacking it with a screw driver to remove the carbon.....it was the most unreliable POS, continuously having stoppages...man I hated that thing!!!

    Yes mostly, i understand the 62gr they are using has been tweaked to have the same trajectory as the 77gr... or pretty close to it.
