So HK is making sweet sweet money from "British enginee

>Really*
Wew lad

>>34014982
A2s with rails makes my dick like a brick.
Also HK at the time was owned by Royal Ordinance.

>>34015090
They will be cashing hard on the A3 variant though.
What a time to be alive.

>>34015096
If its only internals being tweaked it wont be anywhere near as costly as the upgrade to A2 (fingers crossed). The A2 works fine from my experience with them, I wonder what theyre aiming to improve?

>>34015104
From what ive seen in the video its nothing more than improved manufacturing methods for the upper.
that is literally it,no major change in workings except bigger hole for the ejector to function as it should.

>>34015119
that said its completely HK manufactured upper front to back so it could fit the rifle.
I expect to come with HK price tag on it even there is no global overhaul of functioning of the gun they even left the shitty scope rail.

HK was owned by the UK at the time

>>34014982
I agree that selling houses does cause one to think.

>>34014982
we had this thread a couple of months ago

tldr;

the brits needed new gun. it shouldbe sa80.
at the time the weapons were made, the entire company was about to be closed, and all would lose the jobs etc. so no one gave a fuck about how the guns were made because when finished the company will be shut down anyway.
the guns were shitty like hell.
H&K came in and made the work properly

>>34015127
The SUSAT needs to be replaced across the board to be honest, it works but its clunky as hell.

>>34015145
Yes I am aware of all that.
I just find the absurdity of the situation laughable.

My SAA instructor would be spinning his grave if he saw a stripped L85 laid out as shoddily as that

>>34015181
Sounds like he was autistic.

>>34015181
Is it me or the charging handle/deflector looks flimsy as fuck?

>>34015268
You lay it out in order of removal, all bolt group parts together, all gas parts together, such that the last part removed is also the first part replaced and systematically you work back along the line of parts. In that picture hes got cam stud/retaining pin and gas parts all over the shop. Maybe I just have OCD.

>>34015271
The A2 cocking handle is a lot better than the A1 from what Ive heard from guys who used the A1, ive never had an L85 with a cocking handle that wasnt a bit wobbly though.

top fucking kek

>>34014982
Not H&K's fault that the SA80 program made abortion after abortion.

>>34015145
You forget the part about how the people developing the SA80 had literally zero knowledge or understanding of weapons, and probably only got as far as they did by using an AR18 to build their prototype on and then horribly fuck up copying.

>>34015156
>The SUSAT needs to be replaced across the board to be honest
They were phased out years ago, some reserve units may still have them but everyone else is using Elcans.

>>34015353
> some reserve units may still have them

Thatll be it then, fucking hand-me-downs

>>34015385
Say what you like about the SUSAT but they are rugged, I saw some tit drop his down the stairs once and it was fine.

>>34015289
You do because no one else gives a fuck.

>>34015530
No need to get your panties in a twist lad

>>34015289
Nah you don't, you just chuck it all in your beret or else straight on the concrete outside the armory or maybe on the sticky common-room table in the block then you tell some faggot to stag on while you all go to the naf for an hour then you come back and put it back together, after you find some of your parts that got kicked/moved, and tell the lancejack it's clean and he doesn't check because literally noone gives a fuck about the army's autistic weapons cleaning fetish and they're fine as long as they're semi clean and oiled. That is until there's an ECI and all fuck breaks loose at 12 on Friday when everyone just wants to fuck off.

>hurr what's fucking that right there? you call this clean?
>oh sorry let me just stick this metal rod down the muzzle and fuck the crown for all eternity will that please you?
>yes much better I don't know fuck about rifles or shooting but if there's a spec of dust on it I'll go full autismal rage

That's because nobody else can tell the difference, not because hes wrong, it's actually a really good idea

Calm down love

>>34015271
theyre not too bad.

>>34015796
they know but its just an excuse to fuck you over, you can find carbon anywhere on them; specifically the breech.

>>34016418
Yeah, I know. Everything is one big game you're all playing.

>>34015181

You don't if you need to put 2 side to side to compare them. Retard.
