Is the sa80 rifle better than the SLR?
Each has its advantages and disadvantages compared to the other. The SLR fires a more powerful cartridge. In some cases (such as Northern Ireland) it was found to be too powerful. The SA80s cartridge has been found to be underpowered in some instances. The SLR was a variant of the FAL - an extremely reliable rifle. Early SA80s had a lot of teething troubles, to the point where the British government considered replacing them outright with M16s and M4s (they probably would've gone with the Diemaco/Colt Canada C7 and C8s). This was rectified to some extent in 1997 when Heckler & Koch revamped the rifle, creating the L85A2, which has a better service record than the original. The SA80 has a larger basic combat load for ammo - when you consider that most ammo expended in a firefight is used for suppression, the advantage is clear. The SLR has longer range, but most firefights occur within a 300 meter range. The L85/SA80 is shorter, making it advantageous in tight spots. Firer ergonomics were better with the SLR vs. the awkwardly placed selector switch on the L85/SA80.
