Just randomly watching trooping the colour on BBC1, looks so impressive, but seems a shame they use those shitty plastic looking SA80 rifles, be much better with some Lee Enfield WW2 rifles I reckon

Still, something the Yanks will never be as good at

wrong mister.

The SA80 or L85A2 to give it it's proper title is used by the army when trooping the colour as seen here



the l86 is far to cumbersome to use in a parade

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
