MMM, that's where I recognise it from. The "startthinkingsoldier" recruiment stuff. I quite like the look of it, certaintly better than the standard SA80, and should balance out the riflr a bit.

Re: Sa80 Ris - Real One

never been a fan of SA80's previously but the bottom picture with the acog looks really good, not sure about the grip-pod though

Re: Sa80 Ris - Real One

yep tkos that the advert mate .

Re: Sa80 Ris - Real One

I hate that advert. Its obviouse what the MOD are trying to do, trying to appeal to 'the gaming generation' , (probably not the best description, but you know what I mean.)

Why not have a gaming HUD while your at it. Stick with 3rd person.

Sorry, rant over....:S

Anyway, does anyone know if this is going to be standard issue? Not sure its quite standard yet...

And yeah, im not surprised the paras was testing these, the pathdfinders were the first to test the jackal before it replaced the snatch.

Re: Sa80 Ris - Real One

it looks cool actually but its probably a promo as there is an article in the "camouflage" magazine about are soldiers loadout! a guyu have an ACOG (like the one up there), a UGL, an eotech on the front? (how bizare?), a torch and he was also carrying a sig sauer p226. are we really getting that for the army?

It might look it because they do have long barrels, its all down to the bullpup design.

Now I might be wrong but I am guessing the eotech will be for the ugl sights.

If you look at the distance between the forward gripod and the actual pistol grip it does look pretty long. It looks like it COULD be a mod for the LSW?

Re: Sa80 Ris - Real One

its true it is all issue now,even the sig series pistols are slowly being phased in.
