Wish that was the gun that gets unlocked after level 50 in Black Ops. I would pwn in Domination with that...

This has been around for a while, not just unveiled

Is there any reason why the American Soldier is shooting at a British Soldier crouched behind the wall in that diagram?

That's definitely an SA80 isn't it.

He's not wearing his helmet either which is going to make it worse.

Do you think the BBC couldn't risk showing a Terry?

Now they just need smart soldiers to use them.

I reckon I could up my sporting scores with of those

So it's a one inch round out of a 14" (approx) barrel with a range up to 750m.
Interesting ballistics, anyone have any data like barrel velocity or weight of the projectile that I can reverse into a ballistics prog.
Chamber pressure must be approaching "something I don't want to shoot"

I feel incredibly sad that that's the first thing I thought of too
