  1. The army was offered left handed SA80 models and they said no

  2.  @rogueriderhood1862  "There were left handed SA-80's offered to the MOD when they were buying the A2's. I have here a letter from the MOD - don't ask me why, but I do. To cut it short it says that they turned down left handed A2's because they wanted any soldier to be able to pick up any weapon on a battlefield and be able to use it. That is straight from the horses mouth. They obviously felt that the benefits of being able to fire lefty were not worth the bother."

  3.  @harveysmith100  That's how you know Britain has been fighting wars of convenience since the 80's

  4. Just another 5.56 rifle that is effective at 300m. Emphasising direct impingement is a subtle acknowledgement that the SA80 was a failure. I guess we don't need bayonets anymore at least?
