User blog:Maj.Gage/Choose Your Weapon: British Soldier, Falklands War, 1982

Another CYW featuring a British soldier during the Falklands War * my hat to all the Brits out there *. Here's your choices:


 * L1A1 SLR (FAL) -
 * Benefits: Accuracy is high, well reliability, semi-auto, 20-round magazine
 * Disadvantages: Recoil is moderate, semi-auto only (kinda obvious why)


 * L42A1 (essentialy Lee-Enfield chambered in 7.62 NATO) -
 * Benefits: Accuracy & range are high
 * Disadvantages: Slow ROF (Bolt-Action), short magazine capacity


 * L4 Bren (essentialy Bren chambered in 7.62 NATO) -
 * Benefits: High ROF, interchangable barrel system
 * Disadvantages: Low magazine capacity for machine-gun standards (30-round magazine), heavy weight

I pick the L1A1 SLR because of 3 main reasons: 7.62mm NATO, 20-round mag, and accuracy. 3 things a soldier can rely on. In my opinion, the (semi-auto) FAL is a soldiers best friend.

You have seen my choice, now make yours!
