The SA80 LSW simply wasn't man enough for the job. It was a little boy trying to do a mans job. However John, it was/is a VERY, very accurate rifle out to long ranges too So we have kept a small number in the infantry sections to use as a sharpshooters rifle. It's no match for the Minimi or the Bren/L4 (now obsolete) or the magnificent GPMG.
We (the REME etc) still hade Bren/L4's in the first Gulf War. The last were withdrawn from the TA/reserves in 2007. I have an L54 DP Bren, refurbished to new condition, mounted on an English oak base, sitting on my desk. The Top-Man of the Support Weapons Wing has one too

Peter, this makes me a little bit envious to you. The only boring thing on my desk is a flowerpot. Ahh i forgot a percolator too.
