The a2 is a pretty good rifle. Agreed that the original version was pretty shocking but over a decade later and however many millions of pounds upgrading them all they've finally turned into a decent bit of kit.

You ever had the misfortune to use a cadet version? About as much use as the Mk 1 cricket bat. Kind of like the Browning pistol, but with more bits to clean and more likely for some kid to ground the barrel.
Ahh - the ol' "Cadet GP" - AKA the L98A1..



Yes. It was st.
i never thought id see one of those again!!! anyone remember the LSW (light support weapon)? used to be a gunner in cadets with one of those!

More like you've TRIED to forget it - but you've remembered the jamming, the st reload, the apalling recoil, the lack of accuracy - the fact it WASN'T an SA80....

Francisco Scaramanga, a gold gun and 3 nipples, what a man.

Wikipedia says.....

In Ian Fleming's novel, the golden gun is a gold-plated .45-calibre revolver that fires golden-jacketed bullets with a silver core. However, in the film, it was a single-shot weapon that fires a custom made 4.2-millimeter golden (23-carat gold with traces of nickel) dum-dum bullet. The movie gun could be disassembled and its components disguised as a fountain pen (the barrel), a cigarette lighter (breech), cuff-link (trigger), and a cigarette case (the grip), all gold-plated.

Scaramanga used the golden gun in numerous assassinations of officials, political enemies, gangsters, and a 00-agent, Bill Fairbanks (002). Scaramanga later used the golden gun to kill British scientist Gibson and Scaramanga's own employer, Hai-Fat. But, when Scaramanga was killed, and his island is destroyed, the golden gun was presumably also lost.

The Golden Gun ranked sixth in a 2008 20th Century Fox poll of the most popular film weapons, which surveyed approximately two thousand film fans.

yes On the plus side though, only the older/better cadets ever got them, so no grounded barrels. Although the blank firing widget may have helped with that.....

And from the days of Empire, the Webley .355 'Wogstopper' - just the ticket at Rourke's Drift etc:

.355? That would be the ladies version. Ossifers were issued with the .455 version.
