L86 is no match to M14 or SVD
I know it's because of 5.56mm NATO ammunition. That means more hits are needed to kill target, But
L86 has bipod so it should have as low recoil as chinese machine gun Type 95. And of course 5.56mm rounds much lighter = British marksman should have 1-2 more magazine(s). |

It's strange that the L86 was chosen as a marksman weapon. IRL it is a section weapon that replaced the LMG, having two per section (one in each fire team). Each LSW gunner is issued 6 mags as opposed to four as they are to suppress enemy positions whilst the assault is going in.
You'll find that more units are now using the minimi for this job as the L86 is crap, why have a magazine fed support weapon. If anything bin the marksman kit for the brits and give everyone a SUSAT as this is happening IRL. With all section bods having a decent sight there would be no need for the marksman. |

Apparently, lead is not good for you if ingested, at any velocity. And whilst I'm here, you're not a PC and Windows 7 wasn't your idea, live with it!!! |

In reality the Dragunov is somewhat less accurate then the M14 for two main reasons:
1. The Dragunov has a stamped receiver and not milled like the M14. 2. The Dragunov doesn't have a free floating barrel. Although also in reality the recoil system (kalashnikov) makes the Dragunov much more reliable in battle conditions so theres less malfunctions. |

I know its not the most credible source, but Wikipedia says that each 4 man element (Fire Team i think) in British Army they have a Grenadier (L85+UGL), Rifleman (L85), Support Gunner (Minimi) and Designated Marksman (L86) so apparently they coincide? Dunno tho and im sure the guys on the DEV team can clarify
