    See the pic below which I took from CNN. I am pretty sure that is a member of the Queen's Army.

    I have served with Royal Marines but I have never seen that type of rifle. Do any of you know what that is?

    Thanks!

    It is an SA80 :)

    Believe it's a glorified L98 with a scope?

    Correct me if i'm wrong ....

    Hahaha!!

    No no.... I should have been more clear, I am with the US Marines and when I served with the Royal Marines it was as an observer and I had my own, US Colt M-4. They did have the SA80 and looking at it I think you are right. It looks to me to have had some mods put on it though.

    Thanks!

    I know its the SA due to me serving in the Royal Marines me self dude, for 9 years, and that was our wepon of choice. We did and exchange with a section of US Marines in the early 90s. Good bunch of lads but so bloody loud LOL!! :)
