And anyway, the SAS is super hard to join, fitness is incredible, and you have to have done a few years service first.
Considering you have only two cracks at making SAS, this is the Army doing you a favor.

The SA80 is also a poor weapon in that it is strictly right handed. If you're a left handed shooter, you've got issues.
Not to nit pick; but they actually use a C 7 varient:P
The C 7 is an M-16 Variant.

If you want to go SAS i suggest going on the all arms comando course first, just for a taster of whats to come (though this taster is watered down but is still tough)

Topic: Get Back to the topic


The US should adopt a better sidearm for the soldiers instead of the beretta m92fs, instead they should use the German P08 Luger, its old, 9mm, but dam powerful, that pistol can really ruin your day, All they have to do is maybe modify it to hold more ammo rather than just 8 rounds, The luger is kind of Like out Colt M1911,8 shots, old, yet powerful. One shot is as deadly as .45 or a .50, if not more powerful. I've shot this gun before, I shot a foot thick tree from 50 meters away and the bullet went nearly half way into the tree and making a big hollow hole. Imagine if you gave the luger some 9mm hollowpoint bullets hehehe.

You want the US Army to adopt a desighn that is more than a 100 years old? While their at it, they should use the K98 as their new Rifle? How about the BAR forr the next 21st century SAW? The Berreta is a superb pistol, and it fires the same 9X19 Luger Parabellum ammo...

I think Mg-42 is the most cool and devilish machine Gun.To the worst I turn to M-16.For the AK-47 I would say:Good Job! 8)

The MG-42 is nolonger in service, the MG3 is. The M16 is far more acturate that the AK-47, and the M16 has better penatration and is just better. AK47 has a larger 7.62mm round, after the first round is question able.

I say the best is the M16 and the worst is the Styer.

Bullpup-designed weapons in general make me mad when I attempt to hit things with them...I've been spoiled with the M16A4...
