The SA-80 is proof that the Brits can’t be trusted with designing auto-loading guns. Sniper rifles? Maybe even Sniper rifles dressed in a garage? Sure, go wild. Thing that’s going to be issued to general infantry? No, leave that to one of the myriad other countries that have never designed and ordered in large quantities an abomination like the SA-80.
British can design guns just fun. The SA80 was designed by a group of engineers with zero firearms experience. Its like asking a carpenter to build a car. They know the shape and function but not actually why it made the way it is
I joke that my Hi-Point PCC looks like a rifle designed by smart engineers that had never seen and actual rifle. This put me in my place.
