User blog comment:Jabbodebabbo/have infinity ward got the design of the l86 lsw wrong in mw2/@comment-90.196.110.6-20091120133841

i was dissapoined by the LSW on two levels, first, as you say, the apparance was wrong having actually used the real weapon i can say that the real gun has no quick release handle, and that the iron sights in game are wrong. i would have thought thet infinity ward would have at least tried to portray the weapon with a correct apperance. also, the way that they used the weapon as a support weapon with a drum magazine (which would not work, as it would catch on the firer's arm) as oppased to a marksman's rifle with 28-30 round magazine. the stock is wrong also. the cocking action is also wrong, as it shows the L85 A1 (the present weapon is the A2 with a diffrent cocking handle) cocking handle and the use of the right arm to cock the weapon. it is infact meant to be a left hand cocking action, with the arm over the top of the gun.

only a mild irritation in an otherwise flawless game :)
