New Rifle for British Forces
A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools!!

Re: New Rifle for British Forces
tbh, Im surprised we haven't jumped on the americans new ammo type. always makes me smile when you hear someone trying to say how state of the art x M4 is. It's now a 66 year old design. about the only other thing I can think of that has remained fundamentally the same in all that time is a fridge.
