hey im just about to start training with this weapon,its definately the A2 version and just wanted to know if anyone on here had any tips or tricks that i should know for it? im not going to be in the regular british forces but the territorial *like the reserves in the U.S* so anything anyone could give me advice on?

I dont know much about this weapon, Ive worked with some Brits and got some trigger time but thats about it.

However, the rules of good shooting still apply: sight picture, steady position, trigger squeeze and breathing. IMO position and trigger squeeze are most frequently screwed up, and are a huge factor as to why people miss after making a shot they initially feel good about.

Learning not to blink is a hard one to master too.

Most issues that the A1 version had is fixed in the A2 version, altough i have heard that the handguards (wich still is the A1's) can melt when you fire the weapon alot (altough i don't know how much, but it is a fair share of rounds)


What do you want to know?

I was only in the CCF, ut I shot the LSW, it was a pig. try and work on your burst fire technique, I found the fucker Jammed for no good reason on burst fire, with cases stovepiping instead of being properly ejected.

Does the A2 still have that problem where if you fire two rapid shots one will fly low and left while the other goes high and right?

I know there is atleast one guy who comes here that is either brit army or reserves, can't remember his name tho. He posted a pic of target he shot with the SA-80 from either 100 or 200y.

Edit: My bad, it was an L98A1 Cadet rifle and the shooter was uncle_einstein at 100m.
