this does not sound like the most promising of developments against

Sounds a bit like a waste of money to me. Perhaps the MoD should be
more concerned with making sure British soldiers have rifles and
radios that work.

*Still* waiting on Bowman, but PRR works really well at unit level.

As for L85/L86, after such a shrill whine the silence is suddenly
deafening. Where _are_ all those stories about British soldiers doomed
to death by their flawed faulty useless rifles?

Did the rifles actually *work*? How embarrassing! What will people
complain about now?
