Small arms and support weapons
Small arms includes the British Army’s main assault weapon the SA80 and the L115A3 long range high-accuracy, bolt-action sniper system, which supersedes the standard L96A1 sniper rifle.
Whether they arrive by armoured vehicle or boat, British soldiers are trained to operate anywhere in the world and are supported by an armoury of powerful and versatile weaponry, from grenades to heavy machine guns – tools for the soldier’s task of taking and holding ground.
