This video explores the history and usage of the Steyr AUG by the Falkland Islands Defense Force (FIDF). It details how the FIDF, an independent organization, chose the AUG over the British L85A1 in the early 1990s due to known issues with the L85. The FIDF acquired around 160 AUG rifles, including carbines and heavy-barreled LMGs. The LMGs, initially intended as support weapons, were largely converted to standard rifles. The video also touches on the issues with Elcan optics and their eventual replacement with British SUSATs on some rifles. The AUG served as the FIDF's standard rifle until recently, when they were replaced by L85A3 rifles from the UK for better integrated training. The video thanks the FIDF for access to their armory.
This video compares two specialized versions of the Spanish CETME-L rifle, designated as the LV ('visor' or scope). The Army utilized a domestic ENOSA 4x scope, while the Marines employed the British SUSAT 4x optic. The rifles feature different rear sight blocks to accommodate these distinct optics: one with a STANG compatible mount and backup irons, and the other with a simple dovetail rail. The presenter highlights these differences while examining examples of each variant.
This video analyzes the practical accuracy of the SLR104FR (AK74) rifle when paired with a 1p29 scope, aiming for distances up to 500 yards. The description delves into the history of the 1p29 scope, its Soviet origins as a copy of the British Trilux SUIT, and its continued, albeit uncommon, presence in modern conflicts. The content questions the efficacy and rationale behind this specific setup, highlighting challenging environmental conditions like cold and rain on the range. The video also provides conversion charts for yards to meters and promotes various supporting channels and merchandise.
This video showcases the SA-80 A2 rifle, also referred to as the L85A2. The presenter discusses its performance, noting its accuracy and pointability despite its weight. They address the charging handle being A1 while the rest of the rifle is A2, and mention the ejection port. The video highlights reloading challenges, presented as a 'worst-case scenario,' and acknowledges the use of a SUSAT sight, drawing parallels to ACOGs. The presenter expresses a personal preference for the rifle over many counterparts, despite a dislike for the SUSAT sight.
