Nice show, everyone! The MP-7 would be a better choice...I've held a few airsoft copies of it, but never a L22a1 carbine.

The British 20 round magazines are curved and don't extend lower than the grip on SA80 weapons. <br /><br />Also I don't believe the gun in the other picture is an L22A1 at all. They were made by HK and should have the upgrades that HK incorporated into the L85A2/L86A2, which the pictured gun does not (bolt handle is a dead giveaway). It appears to be some earlier form of SA80 based carbine that predates the L22A1.Litvyakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03512593858430657475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-7233660167946558732013-01-25T03:42:33.038-06:002013-01-25T03:42:33.038-06:00It's got the standard British army susat sight...It's got the standard British army susat sight. The gun is a bit poop. I'm pretty sure it's a standard 5.56 mag.<br />The MP7 is a specialist weapon and I think it's only issued to close protection in the military police. The MP7 is a hard to source round where as the 5.556 is pretty ubiquitous. The theory is that the fewer rounds and magazines you have to source, the easier resupply is.

Would have guessed they would give him a MP-7, but on the other hand, he never wanted prefered treatment.<br /><br />The one thing that irritates me is that it is pointing up...
