P226 SIG Pistol (L105A1)

The P226 SIG Pistol (L105A1) is currently a limited issue sidearm although it is a contender in the ongoing competition to find a replacement for the L9A1. It was a UOR, and is issued alongside the P229[citation needed].


P229A2 SIG Pistol (L117A2)

The SIG P229A2 is a smaller variant of the P226, and is the replacement for the P228. It was an Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) which is now being issued in greater numbers, as it is more convenient to carry than the larger P226. All pistols issued by the British Army are 9mm.


Browning Pistol (L9A1)

The Browning High Power Pistol (L9A1) is the general issue sidearm.

Heckler & Koch MP5 Submachine Gun (L92A1)

Issue limited to special forces and task forces involved in special operations. It is a German made submachine gun, capable of a rate of fire of 950 rounds a minute and firing 9mm Parabellum ammunition.


Heckler & Koch 53 Assault Rifle (L101A1)

Heckler & Koch 53 Assault Rifle (L101A1) was available to special forces and close-protection teams prior to being replaced by either the Diemarco or derivatives of the L85A2. It was issued to aircrew serving on Operation BANNER in Northern Ireland.[citation needed]


Diemaco C8 SfW Carbine (L119A1)

The Diemaco C8 SFW Carbine is a Canadian made cousin of the American Colt M4. It differs from the M4 and other C8 models in many ways including a Flat-top receiver and 16 inch barrel.


Rifle 5.56 L85A2
Main article: SA80

The standard issue rifle is now the L85A2, known popularly as the SA80. This is an enhanced variant of the original L85A1 version with improvements to the working parts (cocking handle, firing pin etc.), gas parts and magazines. The L85A2 is regarded by many as the most reliable standard rifle in service, a stark contrast to both the L1A1 and especially the vilified L85A1, which was dropped from NATO's list of approved weapons due to its unreliability with the NATO STANAG 5.56mm round. During the 2003 International shooting meet at Bisley, the British Army team won after firing over 62,000 rounds with no stoppages. During active service, the L85A2 is commonly fitted with a SUSAT 4x optical sight, and can also be fitted with a 40 mm L17A2 Under-slung Grenade Launcher (UGL), and a LLM01 laser aiming and torch attachment. It is fed by a 30-round magazine. It should be noted that the rifle has never been designated "SA80" (instead always being know as the L85 A1/A2) and the "SA80" refers to the research program "Small Arms for the 1980s" under which it was designed.


Light Support Weapon (L86A2)

The L86A2 LSW (Light Support Weapon) is another weapon in the SA80 family. It has a longer, heavier barrel, an extra pistol grip and a bipod, providing greater long range firepower and accuracy compared to the L85 rifle. The L86 had a very similar A2 upgrade to the L85 also making it a much improved reliable rifle. All weapons within the SA80 family are 5.56 mm NATO calibre and like the L85 rifle it is fed by a 30 round magazine. The LSW is now used in the role of a Designated Marksmen Rifle (DMR).[citation needed]


Minimi light machine gun (L108A1/L110A1)

The Minimi light machine gun is issued to the infantry and some other units to improve their firepower over that provided by the L85 and L86. It is a 5.56 mm calibre belt-fed machine gun, used primarily with its bipod so it can provide a level of sustained fire not possible with the LSW with its 30-round magazine. The L110A1 is the "paratrooper" version, equipped with a shortened barrel and a collapsible stock and is now issued one per four man infantry fireteam. The L108A1 is the basic Minimi light machine gun which was originally issued to special forces units before the 1991 Gulf War; it was never on general issue to line infantry units.


General Purpose Machine Gun (L7A2)
Main article: L7 (machine gun)

The L7 GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun) is the UK's version of the FN MAG, often referred to as a 'gimpy', it can be fired from a bipod or tripod. It is used as a suppression weapon with a range of 800 m and as an accurate sustained fire platform when mounted on a tripod, increasing its range to 1,800 m, although this fall to 1,100m in low light conditions, as this is the range at which tracer burns out. Experienced GPMG gunners using the weapon to fire indirectly (i.e. with an arcing trajectory) to fire accurately out to 3000 m from the 'Sustained Fire' platform in the 'Map Predicted Fire' role. It is a 7.62 mm NATO calibre weapon. Versions of this weapon are also mounted on pedestal mounts on various vehicles, boats and helicopters and mounted as coaxial armament in armoured vehicles. Manufactured under license by Manroy Engineering.

Heavy Machine Gun (L2A1)

The heavy machine gun of the British Army is a version of the M2 Browning machine gun. It is a 12.7-mm calibre weapon using the .50 BMG round. Can be mounted on a tripod or on pedestal mounts on vehicles. Manufactured under license by Manroy Engineering.

Some units are issued the L115A1 and L115A3 Long Range Rifles produced by Accuracy International. Thes rifles use the 8.59 mm (.338 Lapua Magnum) cartridge.
The Accuracy International AW50F .50 (12.7mm) calibre anti-material rifle has been acquired in limited numbers to equip EOD units to destroy unexploded munitions from a safe distance. It is also available to snipers as a 'stand-off' weapon to deal with targets such as radar installations, light vehicles etc. Although not a British Army unit, Royal Marine snipers have used the rifle to destroy outboard motors on drug running boats from helicopters. They were also able to achieve first round kills at 900m+ during the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It is manufactured by Accuracy International in the UK, although the barrel is made by Madco in Queensland, Australia.
Some units are issued the L82A1 .50 calibre Barrett sniper rifle[citation needed].


51 mm mortar
Main article: L9A1 51 mm Light Mortar

The 51 mm mortar is a light mortar which can be carried and fired by one man. Smoke, illuminating and high explosive bombs are available. The 51 mm mortar, which replaced the 2 inch mortar was due to be phased out by the use of the newer 40 mm AG36 UGL (Underslung Grenade Launcher) mounted on the SA-80. However operational experience has led to the decision to replace it with a 60mm Mortar[2][3]


81 mm mortar
Main article: L16 81mm Mortar

The L16A2 81-mm mortar is a medium mortar which is operated by a three man team. It is often vehicle-borne, and in mechanised infantry battalions is mounted and fired from an FV432 vehicle. The Royal Marines use the Swedish Hagglunds BV206 Mortar variant as their mortar mounted vehicle.

Currently being procured as the replacement for the Milan system. It fires a missile out to ~2500 m and is capable of defeating explosive-reactive armour with a tandem HEAT warhead. It is currently thought that the Javelin is capable of penetrating most armoured vehicles' armour.

L109A1 HE Fragmentation Grenade

The L109A1 came into service in the British military in 2001, replacing the L2A2 as the standard anti-personnel grenade. The L109A1 weighs 465 gm, has a fuse delay of 3-4 seconds. The grenade is filled with RDX explosives. On detonation the steel shell bursts and fragments outwards at high velocity. The fatality radius is up to 10 m but fragments may travel as far as ~200 m from detonation.
