What is /k/s stance on the newer l85A2. Not to be confused by l85A1 (total garbage).

Its okay, pretty accurate. Dont really get why they want to put keymod on it now.

I cant tell if it is good, or well...good because it came after the L85A1. It is darn ugly athough for sure.
>>
>>32537845
OP here, the reason im asking is because me and my britbong friend are having an arguement. I dislike the bulpup because of the akwardness of the location of the charging rod and mag release. And the annoying shape of the trigger and trigger guard. He insists that "i trained with the l85 and i think its great." Its too heavy for a bulpup and the iron sights garbage as well. But thats just my opinion. Asking you guys
>>
>>32538081
You would be right that it's a heavy piece of shit and still one of the worst service rifles in the developed world.

Like, 11 pounds for a 5.56 rifle. Nigga what are you doing.

There's a new bong bullpup?

From what I've read what bong anons have posted in various threads, and doing some research on my own, it's a really good gun. The only actual downsides I see with it is that it's only right hand shoot and weighs as much as a loaded L1A1 SLR, unloaded.

But I'm forever asshurt that I'll literally never have the opportunity to hold one, let alone let off a few rounds.
>>
>>32537845
I want one cause i can't have one but if i got one I'd probably want something else
>>
>>32538605
Refering to the l85A2 as "newer" in relation to the L86A1.

Its shit because of akward actuator rod placement, the mag release is between the rifle and your body causing accidental mag drops during combat. Over all weight at 11lbs is insane. Poor handling design. Shit tier sights. (Even standard issue scopes weigh an excess of 2lbs) obnoxious trigger and trigger guard. Its a bulpup so virtually useless in anything but an urban enviorment. (First world countries only.)

You mean the SAS who have been using M4s since viet or the Royal Marine fleet protection group who use them not because there's anything wrong with the LA2, but because for the fragmentation/penetration properties?

Does it pack the bullet a little egg salad sandwich and tell it to try really hard today?

Like, 5.56 velocity peaks at 20 inches barrel length. So logically speaking, an M16 is going to have the maximum possible terminal ballistics for a 5.56 platform.

>>
>>32538081
Bongs aren't a good judge of firearm knowledge. Even those that have served in the military will most likely only ever have held and fired the A2 so they have nothing to compare it with. I've met dozens of Brits that swore blind their rifle was just fine, only to cross train on something that isn't a piece of shit and end up either amazed that something can actually feel good to use or ridiculously stubborn about how their special snowflake rifle is special and impervious to criticism.

>awkward controls
Flaw inherent to all bullpup rifles, comes with the territory.

>trigger shape/control
Certainly unusual, but not necessarily a bad thing. One of the very few parts of the rifle that has always worked to an acceptable standard throughout both variants.

>too heavy
Absolutely. 11 pounds loaded with the SUSAT, compared to 7.5 loaded for an M4 with irons.

>irons are garbage
They're certainly very high, but aren't strictly bad. Although it's a moot point. SUSAT has been standard on every deployment. I highly doubt anyone has ever actually used the irons in a combat situation.
>>
>>32537845
they are insanely heavy and are a terrible service rifle. I trained with a bong unit in the UK over the summer and they are amazed at how light the M4 was and how comfortable it was. Bongs barely ever handle guns outside of the military so like it was said above, they are terrible judges of firearms because none of them have any experience with them.
>>
>>32539883
it's true though. most bongs have no experience with any weapons not issued to them. their service rifle is overweight and offers no real improvements. meanwhile all the units with enough pull are getting AR pattern rifles
>>
I love how in every anti-L85 thread people meme'd about other stuff but got blown the fuck out with facts and now they're making shit up and only ever focusing on the one main, legitimate problem with the rifle, and that's the weight.

Never change, /k/. Whatever the bongs make, you'll continue to cherry pick and shitpost.

The previous few bong L85 threads I've seen, there's always that one asshurt anon sperging about how "The L85 is the worst weapon used by western powers" or something similar along those lines. You have one or two correct him and poof, he starts shitposting again.

I think it has a 20" barrel which is impressive, its too bad its not chambered in something like the 6.5 grendel so as to have dmr potential. I question how solid the forend is for mounting the front sight, I think the body of the rifle should be extended to be the forend

To force Colt's hand by threatening them with replacement.

It works, now there's a bunch of different subcontractors and the unit price is like 650.

Bullpup design doesn't fit the assault rifle role. Especially when taking urban operations into account.

>You need to eventually switch from right to left shoulder if you have to take cover behind a wall.

It's important that we don't forget just how much of a weak fucking sister 5.56 out of a short barrel is. 5.56mm M855 ammunition is optimized for a 20" barrel with a 1:7 twist. It is not surprising that its greatest velocity of 2979 ft/sec is obtained in a 20" barrel. After all, Stoner designed the cartridge for the 20" barrel.

Decreased velocity with barrels much shorter than 14.5" (the M4 carbine barrel) have a number of unwanted effects. Lowered linear velocity produces lower rotational velocity, which will result in diminished gyroscopic stability of the bullet. It will also result in significantly decreased projectile kinetic energy, decreased ability to generate a significant would channel, and will reach a point of diminishing returns where lethality of the round definitely comes into question. Once you go below 11", muzzle velocity nose dives. M855 bullets traveling below 2500 fps when impacting a target will not produce a lethal wound channel. On the graph, anything below the red line is shit).

Secondly, with shorter barrels, tuning of the gas port for weapon cycling becomes more critical. Adding a suppressor, which does slightly increase bore pressure, will result in more erratic and forceful cycling of the weapon leading to earlier weapon failure. It is also apparent that the pressure near the barrel rises exponentially with less barrel length, which necessitates that suppressors on shorter barrel weapons be designed to handle much higher pressures. The M4 does use appropriate suppressors, but many casual gun owners may put themselves at risk by putting one of those on a 10.5 inch barrel AR.

In short, there has been a cultural shift from the 20-inch barrel length in AR-15/M16 weapon systems chambered for 5.56 to progressively shorter barrels for the purpose of producing an increasingly more compact assault weapon without resorting to a bullpup design. This causes problems with sound, and lethality. If you don't want those problems, use a bullpup.

>>32543266
I literally used M855 as my basis. I know that trend toward shorter barrels resulted in the U.S. Army and Marine Corps adopting the 14.5-inch barreled M4 carbine with a re-design of 5.56×45 from the 55 grain SS-109 to the 63 grain M855 ammunition to optimize this barrel length. The differing bullet design also necessitated a change in the rifling twist rate from the original 1:12 inches to 1:7 inches. The graph shows M855 and how it performs with a 14.5" barrel. 5.56mm's home is at 20". That's where it is always going to be the most effective.

You don't know shit. M855 came about to meet armor penetration requirements out of a 20" barreled SAW.

You don't know dick about the history of the round or its performance. The guys used scientific method to do this. The results clearly demonstrate the negative effects of firing 5.56 from short barrels.

>You don't know dick about the history of the round or its performance.
Coming from someone who thinks SS109 is 55 grain! Fucking priceless. I shouldn't have to tell you this, but SS109 is the NATO designation for the steel tipped round the US military calls M855. In other words, it's the same fucking thing, retard.

>The guys used scientific method to do this.
Along with a complete lack of understanding wrt basic grammar, you've proven you don't know how science is fucking done.

Where did they find evidence to support that a 62 grain projectile traveling 2500fps is physically incapable of causing a lethal wound? If that's the case, lemme shoot you with a .22lr, it's only 40gr traveling at sub 2000 fps so it's totally nonlethal!

Anyways the velocity data can't be extrapolated to all M855, the authors themselves state they only tested one lot, and M855 is known to exhibit serious velocity variations across lots.

You're going for the knockout when you haven't even broken the guard, and in tern have revealed that you don't know anything about 5.56mm and gotten knocked out yourself.

>Where did they find evidence to support that a 62 grain projectile traveling 2500fps is physically incapable of causing a lethal wound?

It doesn't fragment below that speed. You could shoot me with a .22 from 200m away, but I'm pretty sure I'd live to shoot you back with a 5.56mm round fire from a 20'' barreled AR, and that my bullet would be more "lethal".

With regards to the authors only testing one lot, if they tested various ammo, it would only add variables. Better to just test the round that the military or police uses.

he's right. train with it and its perfectly fine.

train with it first and then go to an AR pattern, everything feels as you describe - akward locations for charging rod, mag release, etc.

Just fucking google SS109. I'm waiting. It's the fucking same thing as M855. You're thinking of M193 when you talk about 55gr, dumbass.

>It doesn't fragment below that speed. You could shoot me with a .22 from 200m away, but I'm pretty sure I'd live to shoot you back with a 5.56mm round fire from a 20'' barreled AR, and that my bullet would be more "lethal".
So the authors' diagram caption is wrong, and furthermore the extrapolations regarding terminal ballistics only apply to the 62gr M855 projectile and not to 77gr SMKs or to 62gr MK318.

>With regards to the authors only testing one lot, if they tested various ammo, it would only add variables. Better to just test the round that the military or police uses.
>thinking that different lots means a totally different round
>Not knowing that military issued ammo is produced in lots over time.
>As in there are many, many different lots of M855 produced across the years, hence lot numbers on the packaging so you can source the ammo if some QC issues are found.
>>
Actually this is fucking hilarious. I'm putting on a goddamn clinic about 5.56mm history and this retard thinks I'm baiting him.

Anyways SS109/M855 originally came about to penetrate the NATO CRISAT armor model (meant to replicate Soviet body armor) at a distance, out of then state-of-the-art 20" barreled M249.

The change in M16 barrel twist to 1:7 came as a response to SS109, and not the other way around as originally suggested. Furthermore the Army actually wanted 1:9, but didn't get it. Apparently at the time people assumed 1:7 was the slowest twist rate that would stabilize SS109 and the equivalent tracer loading, which later turned out to be questionable.
>>
>>32545370
One should note that the Army was right to question the 1:7 twist rate as we now know 1:8 and even 1:9 will stabilize 62gr projectiles sufficiently. It's not clear why everyone jumped on the 1:7 train, although I think this comes from FN Herstal's guidance. The Army recommendation for 1:9 twist came about in an Army Research Institute hit piece on the Marine-designed M16A2, so any valid points that were made were likely immediately lost in inter-service shit flinging.

I was issued A1 and as I could read and listen and wasn't a Royal Marine who considered himself special, never had a problem with it. It was not well made, but I kept it clean and looked after it. Ergonomically it was poor, with too much weight toward the rear of the rifle. The furniture was adequate, the trigger was soon altered to be slightly easier to use (but still too heavy). I used both incarnations of the A1, the factory fresh one and the one which was altered to have the mag release (and other things) changed. The only reason I got my hands on the factory unaltered version was due to chance, by the time I joined it was A1 with improvements as standard.

The A2 was a massive improvement. "Accuracy" is something that gets bandied about a lot, but the A2 was an accurate weapon. It eliminated most of the A1 issues and performed well where we took it.

All that said, I also used Diemacos (and other AR pattern rifles) and was under the distinct impression that it was a more refined product. It didn't function differently or provide a massive advantage, it was just that bit lighter, that bit easier to move around when bending over or moving through water, better balanced. When it came to shooting the thing as per its designed use, it was no different.

RM claimed it wouldn't fire frangible ammunition. When it was demonstrated to them that it would, they had a very angry response about just how different their job was. The response that came back was an outline of how utterly pump their last Afghanistan tour was.

SAS hated SA80, as they had hated the SLR before it. They specified a need for a "flat top rifle" (which the SA80 is) then kicked off enough to get issued Diemaco, again. Army Infantry AR rifles were nearly all Colts and M16A1, which were used by my grandfather (who unfortunately posts here at times) in Borneo and by parts of the Infantry since - most notably by COP in Northern Ireland.

It was 11lb when it had the metal mags, SUSAT and the heavier components.

It's lighter now.

If you check the markings on the side it was a RoF test weapon, not an adopted one.

One of the main issues we had with the A1 was SNCOs assuming that you could clean it like you could anything else, so everyone scrubbed the coating off the parts. Once RM and others had got a guy in from the design team to show them how to clean it, they had something like 80 percent fewer stoppages.

The A1 was a bad weapon for a number of reasons but it cycled and fired just fine, it just needed looking after. When the people you issue it to first already have a complex and think they should be able to choose what rifle they're issued with, you could give them anything and they'd find fault with it.

but i'm not a bong
and the guy you're quoting literally thinks SS109 is 55gr ball ammo, so it's obvious who doesn't know dick.

Ofc more difficult to make than metals, otherwise wouldn't be the future would it, progress onwards and upwards etc. Immediate heat resistance and wear resistance can be very good, c. Teflon or carbon fiber brake pads. Heat conduction and absorption isn't. There is also a basic problem of longevity to do with evaporating hydrocarbons.

show how out of balance the ultimate argument is . Elasticity is OK, not an intrinsically bad thing and can be varied anyway. But NB 56% the density of Aluminum while 4 1/2 times as strong. If was a cross-sectional strength test (probably is) implies 8 times as strong per weight.

>accidental mag drops during combat
Not been in combat but been on plenty of exercises as infantry using the A1 and never seen this happen.
