Here's the list.
L1A1 S.L.R. (F.N. 7.62mm). Looks like a gun, feels like a gun. Brill gun.
+ .22 SUB CAL CONVERSION FOR L1A1.
L2A3 S.M.G. STERLING 9mm. Great gun but dangerous.
G.P.M.G. 7.62mm (L7AI,L8A1,L37A1). God in belt fed 7.62mm form.
.30 BROWNING MACHINE GUN. Powerful and reliable.
.50 BROWNING MACHINE GUN. GOD.
BARRET LIGHT 50. Ouch.
L4A4 7.62mm (UPDATED BREN). Best mag fed machine gun EVER.
L9A1 9mm BROWNING HIGH POWER. Old faithful.
L42 7.62mm (OLD BRITISH ARMY SNIPER RIFLE). I like it.
L96 7.62mm (NEW BRITISH ARMY SNIPER RIFLE). Only fired it once.
L85AI 5.56mm (SA80 ASSAULT RIFLE). Alright, just alright.
L86A1 5.56mm (SA80 LIGHT SUPPORT WEAPON). WHY???
BRITISH ARMY FRAG HAND GRENADE.
CARL GUSTAV A.T. SUB CAL CONVERSION.
LAW 80 A.T. SUB CAL CONVERSION.
.357 REVOLVERS VARIOUS TYPES. Good stopping power, lack of rounds with long reloading time. Prefer mag fed pistols.
.44 MAGNUM REVOLVER. Give me a Glock and I will win.
WALTHER PP 9mm SHORT. Good disco gun.
WALTHER P38 9mm.
CZ 75 9mm PISTOL. Good reliable Browning alternative.
.45 ACP PISTOL. Good stopping power, small mag capacity though.
AK47 7.62mm ASSAULT RIFLE. Never fails.
M60 MACHINE GUN. Not bad.
MI6A1.
HK MP5 9MM S.M.G. Great for close/city work.
HK 33 5.56mm ASSAULT RIFLE. My favourite assault rifle.
HK G3 7.62mm ASSAULT RIFLE. For country work.
VARIOUS PUMP/AUTO/OVER/UNDER SHOTGUNS.
.22 RIMFIRE TARGET RIFLES.

Fired off my own weapon a few times. It never fails but i did have an ND once but a quick apology and everything was cleared up.

My individual weapon is the best.
It has a long barrel, is big bored, has an integral helmet, retracts when not in use, is multi-purpose, is self lubricating and fits quite snugly into the palm of my hand.
It differs from other weapons as mine can not only injure/kill people but can also create life.
Beat that. I will later.........

Is this not the idea?

Well yes. It's meant to be dangerous to the enemy. Unfortunatley the SMG is dangerous to the carrier and his colleagues.

Probably PW.
Beleave it or not i've fired a MP5. A friend of my fathers is in the armed response unit in Nottingham and they had an open day about 5 years ago. And I fired a hand gun, which I don't actually know what it was and an MP5. Without any comparisons for me to judge it I can't really comment on it, except to say it gave me a hard on.

You'll like this one Sticky !!
I blew the end off my SLR once. Didn't realise I had fouled it with sand. My boss had never seen a three prong flash eliminator blow before !! (The old five prong ones used to blow all the time)
I had to go to my wagon and fix it. Red face or what.........
