    Better thank Magpul for your mags and making your weapon even more reliable!

    Better thank the government first for actually listening to the troops and stumping up the cash for the mags.

    The reason why the British Army (and possibly the Australian as well) has a higher credibility over the U.S. Army now is because they obviously take note of what the U.S. Army is doing wrong. If I had been in the British Army, that is what I would do.

    He totally glossed over what HK did to correct the flaws in the L85. They basically rebuilt the internal mechanisms of that rifle and made it ok instead of complete shite. The mag and the optics are just icing, good though they are.

    Ha, Jed is a mate of mine! The previous magazine was made by HK and was incredibly reliable, just quite heavy.

    Which is why we went over to Omaha with the introduction of a 10 mag carry on patrols. It shed something like a kilo or two to our personnel carry.
