Always had fondness for the British SA-80 Assault Rifle.

I've heard that the soldiers who use them do not share that fondness.

I meant design.

Do they have issues with where the magazine is located? Because I found another design more akin to US standard: [I'll share pic when I have better internet access]

Dont get me wrong, I love the look of the SA-80 its clean as all hell, but when a rifle is so bad that not even H&K can fix it you know you messed up

Spoiler

The C7A2 is the best service rifle in use right now, fight me

Is a magazine behind a trigger better or worse than one in front of a trigger?

[PVTDukeMorrison]

Bullpup designs have their pros and cons. Longer barrels in a shorter overall package and great for crewmen, very maneuverable in close quarters. Generally bad ergonomics all around, subpar triggers, and more complicated takedowns can make field stripping a pain

Well I mean every now and then Canada will once in a while take something American and make it better.

Like M3 Lee into Ram Mk. II or F-86 Sabre into CL-13 Sabre (which the new Luftwaffe certainly liked).

Even the Americans thought the Ram was a good tank... at the time, it was certainly superior to the Lee (which is what they were going for, like come on you gotta have a main turret) and even still comparable to the M4 Sherman but the Sherman won out as it was easier to mass produce and relatively cheaper, plus the African campaign revealed the flaws of British tank doctrine which the Ram cruiser tank was built under, one notable con being that the Ram had better armour piercing with it's British 6 pounder gun but poorer high explosive and you're going to encounter infantry more than tanks, the Sherman on the other hand had a nice dual purpose 75mm gun with good HE and "good enough at the time" armour piercing, especially when at the time Panzer III's and IV's and Stugs are the most common armour.

But the Ram still saw service not only for training but as variants from command vehicles to armour recovery vehicles and most notably the Kangaroo personal carriers, the most successful variant that was used widely by British and Commonwealth forces and had a positive impact in reducing manpower losses.


... I'm sorry I nerded out.

I'm not the biggest fan of the rhino's, but the first few seconds of this video gets me riled. Those grips sure make em look purdy.

Pretty indeed. Although I'd prefer a more substantial handle, one that keeps your hand in place.
