Seems the Army is losing guns and ammunition. And at an increasing rate.
Where do I place my order?

Letting off steam. You don't have to like it or agree with it, it is written for my benefit and no one else's. Feel free to add comments if you choose. There will be no moderation. If you choose to post personal attacks, I may well leave them there, so that the bile can fester in the sunshine of my approval, as I regard it from the vantage point of the moral highground.

I suspect these weapons are being quietly distributed amongst Labour Associations for the big day Brown announces "No election"!
I doubt it - most NuLiebore cretins have no service background whatsoever and wouldn't know which way round a rifle works.
I do hope that the figures keep some of our Chief Cunstables awake at night, though.
Well, if they're losing SA80's I don't want one thanks - used one in the mid- '90s, horrid weapon.
Rusts as soon as the sun goes behind a cloud, the magazine lips are useless....
but if they're getting rid of any Brownings or Sig-Sauers, put me down for a nice 9mm please.

Dungeekin, they're supposed to have fixed all that (yeah, yeah). A far cry from the reliability of Enfield's ancient .303. They were handed out to us in the CCF at school. The caretaker was in charge of changing the targets at the rifle range -- he had the most dangerous job in Britain.
I'm surprised the MoD hasn't yet revised the squaddies' battle fatigues, to put a big bullseye on the back and front.
Oh yes, Dennis, the Short Lee Enfield .303 rifle, soldiers, for the use of, two three!!
Oh the joy of being pushed gradually backwards up hill by the recoil. And the bruising.
Whereas the Bren Gun was pretty much as accurate in single shot mode, and much nicer to play with.
Lee enfield .303 for me please.
1000 rounds should see me through.
SA80a2 much improved over original version.Still pretty puny though compared to the old 7.62 SLR.
I agree though the .303 Lee Enfield
is a classic man stopper.
(The best thing is you can actually own one if you have a Firearms Certificate).Just dont tell plod what you really want it for!!!!
Bollox this one's melted.....
