Weapons File from Battle Action Force No. 598, dated 18 October 1986. The SA80 or Enfield Endeavour as it is called here. Introduced in the British Armed Forces in 1985, but upgraded by Heckler & Koch in the 2000's, it's probably more commonly referred to as the L85 family of guns with the most recent variant being the L85 A3.
It replaced the SLR (Self-Loading Rifle), otherwise known as the L1A1, the FAL (if you're a Call of Duty player) or "that gun with the wooden bits you got with Action Man".
The Light Support Weapon, the L86, shown above had also been given the commercial name of the Enfield Engager.
The L86 family are a "bullpup" design where the trigger grip is located in front of the breech and magazine instead of behind them, reducing the overall length of the gun. In the case of the SA80, and some other bullpups, this made firing them left-handed (or with a dominant left eye) 'difficult' as the ejection port is next to the face and the bullet cases exited to the right. This could result in quite a mouthful. Some bullpups are ambidextrous so not sure why the L85 was set up like this other than tradition. The FAMAS, for example, was the first bullpup in military service in the 1970's but could be converted to either left or right handed use.
The L85 is going to be replaced soon. I don't think a final decision has been made however some parts of the UK Armed Forces are going to be issued with the non-bullpup Knight's Stoner 1 (KS-1, below).

*crawls into your inbox* I'm here to flip the World vs LI question. How would the ROs feel if the MC decided to save the world instead of saving them and letting the world fall?
😈
pain and suffering!!!
Akello and Kazu would accept it and think its best and would likely have resisted if you went the other way. Kazu can kinda be a little inconsistent about the greater good sometimes and stuff but I think his utilitarianism would recognize that its the right thing to do. Akello's self sacrificing by nature and strongly governed by a need to protect so he'd understand.
Marcel and Amir would understand why you did it and not fault you but there's some hurt there that maybe, secretly, they were hoping you'd pick them.
Mori would rather burn the earth then let go of what he wants so I think he would take it hard. Especially since he gets attached easily and would readily let things just ignite if it meant saving you?
Raath is probably the reason all this is going down in the first place and he'd be real butthurt you chose to clean up his mess instead of compliment him on what a disaster he cooked up.

So an idea that me and my sister came up with
Spinner probably sheds from time to time, and Dabi has skin grafts so could Spinner give his shedded skin for Dabi to use?
His skin grafts are in pretty bad shape he could use some new ones

I deleted a post of mine that talked about fanfics and my father, but the mood of it changed in the other direction in the comments of that post. The comments made no sense of what the post actually meant due to me making a little lighthearted joke about writing an smut fanfic for my father about his favorite character (Ghost from Call Of Duty) back in 2017 or 18, and someone assumed that it was something completely different.

Was anyone gonna tell me the contemporary Pokemon art style started in gen 2, NOT gen 3???
This is Morty's CRYSTAL artwork! I know that's only like a year before Ruby and Sapphire came out but like........ LOOK at it. That's from gen 2 fuckers! I feel like I'm living in some sort of mandela effect universe. What the hell.
