The SA80, also known as the L85 rifle, serves as the primary service rifle for the modern British Army. This iconic bullpup design has replaced the L1A1 self-loading rifle, which was the British variant of the FAL. The L85 offers a compact rifle platform that maintains a short overall profile while still accommodating a standard outer barrel length comparable to that of conventional rifles used by other modern militaries The AFV variant of the L85 mirrors the real steel L22 Carbine Rifle, addressing the demand for a carbine that can function as a Personal Defense Weapon (PDW) for vehicle crews. This design is particularly advantageous for stowage within the confined spaces of British Army vehicles and allows for ease of manipulation in tight quarters. The rifle has been utilised by the Royal Marines Fleet Protection Group and dog handlers, in addition to vehicle crews.
G&G has meticulously recreated this bullpup as a high-quality AEG rifle, constructed from stamped stee, this robust design provides a substantial weight and a solid feel when carried. The rifle features a compact handguard that facilitates the attachment of peripheral devices, along with a removable carry handle for optics installation. Designed primarily for right-handed users, the rifle replicates the controls and switch manipulations of its real steel counterpart, ensuring full functionality, including a bolt lock mechanism for convenient hop adjustment. At its core is an 8mm brass bushing and a high-quality V7 gearbox, enhanced with a revised 2.0 Electronic Trigger Unit for improved responsiveness and to protect the trigger contacts and battery. Additionally, it integrates a 3.0 MOSFET system to reduce wear over time and enhance electronic performance.
The L22 carbine bullpup is an excellent option for enthusiasts of the L85 design who seek a portable, compact variant of the SA80 platform. Its design allows for easier manipulation in enclosed environments while still achieving the effective range of a standard rifle. The carbine's compact size also facilitates convenient storage, making it an ideal choice for those looking to engage in close-quarters skirmishes or extended firefights.
