This video delves into the history of the SA80 rifle family, specifically focusing on the XL70 series final prototypes, including both the Individual Weapon (IW) and Light Support Weapon (LSW) variants. It highlights critical design and testing issues that plagued the development, such as extremely low Mean Rounds Between Failure (MRBF) rates, far below the initial targets. The description details how RSAF Enfield allegedly altered testing parameters to achieve seemingly better results rather than fixing fundamental problems. Furthermore, the video touches upon the endemic issue of split groups in the LSW during full-auto fire, which was never fully resolved. Armament Research Services (ARES) provides expertise in this technical intelligence analysis.
