The only downside is the weight - one of the heaviest assault rifles going if memory serves. I know when I was in Afghan we were working with some Marines and their M4s were so light they felt like toys in comparison.

This pic shows the normal graticule through the LDS. They're awesome to shoot with and come with various settings. There's a knob on the left hand side that goes three ways left and right. Turning it left lights up a red dot in the middle, to varying degrees of brightness. Turning it right illuminates the entire graticule, again to varying degrees of brightness.
This pic shows it set to 'OFF'.

The rifle is then fucked and gets brought to an armourer such as myself. I then sigh at the stupidity of the user and proceed to hammer the gas plug back out using a 6mm drift. 90% of the time the aluminium of the plunger is no match to the steel of the gas block and gets smashed out easily. Rifle is then back in service (with a new gas plug of course).
As to where I'm based, that would be telling. I will say south west England though.

>>10100852 We've had the RIS handguard for about 3-4 years now. At first they were deemed as UOR (Urgent Operational Requirement) and as such only got issued to troops going to Iraq/Afghan and when they got back were given over to the next lot going.
For the past few years though pretty much all frontline units are getting them. Priority is on infantry units (I'm attached to a Light Infantry battalion hence why we have them).
Units such as Signals and Logistics et cetera generally still have the old green handguards but will get the RIS ones when they deploy.

When you ask how it came to be broken they just shrug and say they found it like that.
I once had one guy wedge the gas cylinder of his Minimi through the slot its meant to go through, but then upwards into the opening where the barrel goes. I facepalmed and told him to gtfo my sight while I knocked it back out.
This image shows the read end of the TMH, or Trigger Mechanism Housing. From right to left you have the butt and the buffer. That horizontal spring is the trigger bar spring.
The green knob on the right hand side of the weapon is the holding opening catch. When you pull the working parts to the rear you press it down and it holds the bolt back.

>>10100972 The IW (Individual Weapon) has a barrel length of 20.4 inches. I'm a pretty good shot (I enjoy shooting both military and civilian) and you can hit out pretty far with the L85.
Army doctrine says you can hit accurately out to 300m, and harassing fire as a section out to 600m. I can easily hit a Figure 11 and Figure 12 target (Google if unsure what these are) at 300m. I've not had a chance to fire the L85 at further distances.
This image shows an insert housing (where all the trigger stuff goes) with a small fracture on the left hand side. This is caused due to the repeated striking of the thin bit of metal where it has fractured. This sort of fault is ZOMFG CANT FIRE THIS NO MORE! and would put the weapon off the road until fixed. Fortunately, I had a load spare and I'll upload a brand new insert housing frame in the next image.

Does your minimi have a 3-position gas regulator that controls the rate of fire? The M249 SAW (US derivative of the minimi) I had in boot camp had the 3-way, but when I was deployed, the newer generation of saws have deleted this feature in favor of a single port

Britland Armourer !!yu6tk8+0bTy
Quoted By:
>>10103962 Ours have two positions, Normal and Adverse. Adverse increases the rate of fire but the LMG is also self-adjusting. When I take some pictures of it I'll explain it in more detail but the gist is this: When the barrel gets too hot, the heat causes the gas plug to expand slightly and due to this the holes that the gas go through get obscured which naturally slows down the rate of fire. With a decreaed RoF the barrel will cool down and the gas plug will then contract, opening up the gas holes fully again and thus resuming normal RoF.

I've never tried this but I always theorised that if you got the gas plug stuck in the gas hole on the L85, you could get it out by firing a round and pushing on it at the same time... Surely the pressure would be enough to push the little button up and if you pushing on the plug at the same time it would come out, fixing the problem without having to use tools. Possibly the piston & spring could be used to push it out when you fire it.
