I cant remember getting through an APWT without the bloody thing jamming at least twice
If its dry, the dust jams it; if its wet, the damp... no win situation.
I'd still rate the SLR over the SA80.. including the "New and Improved", which appeared to have no effect on any of the problems for me
If they wanted that caliber, they should have just chose one of the many acceptable Rifles to buy "Off the Shelf" and saved a few Million in wasted Design and Manufacturing costs.

Never had a problem with the GPMG either... but they were always reluctant to let that one out... hang on a minute... we only had one! that may be why

We were spoilt then... 1 per Troop and another for the CP.
Mind, in the Artillery no one wants to carry that bloody thing, maybe thats why

Hey I was in Artillery too, what were you using? AS90? MLRS? I was handling the FSC (Rapier) - Nice bit of kit

Started on 105mm, then FH80 and ended up on MLRS...
Kept changing our damn equipment

MLRS looks good. If I wasn't using the Rapier, I would have wanted to join a unit using that
there is no god
well this administration has come up with a solution
Which leads me on to the other freaking problem of the guns jamming. I swear to God, no word of a lie, my SA80 jammed no less than 15 times in a 4 hour exercise. The cause? Rain
it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
