# Heh
That was the L96A1 single shot version. I hated it when they kept repeatedly jamming when firing live rounds...

# Only jammed on me once
When I was a younger 'un, I didn't cock it hard enough and I didn't whack the magazine in securely enough. End result is that I sorta lodged a round in the mechanism, all it needed was a good whack.

The only time the Cadet GPs jam is when the cadets don't clean them properly or aren't brutal enough with it for their size. Also, all the regulars I've talked to about it said that they're now happy with the A2.

But our soldiers oughtn't be getting fucked like that in the first place. Britain goes everywhere the US does, we've got less man-power and less of decent equipment... and the septics are overstretched...

# It's a bloody good weapon
it just requires more maintenance than most.

The sad truth is that it's the fucking squaddies that are too lazy to clean the cunting thing properly that are the problem, not the excellent assault rifle.

# my guess is
that when you're pinned down in the middle of the desert by a bunch of insurgents and you're feeling a bit fucked, that popping out a little brush and dusting down the SA80 is the last thing on your mind.

# oh do calm down.
It's a fair weapon now but you know as well as I do you only had to look at the first examples and they would jam.
