Therefore I cannot judge, and I fail to understand how people in the same situation as myself feel that they're in any position to make such a judgement.

Hey, it's a website, not a grand jury!

Long live the L85A2!

Actually, i'm not wrong. Everyone in my division had A-4's. Except for infantry, we were issued M-4's.

increased muzzle velocity, different barrel design (key in a weapon with short barrel & low calibre)

Different muzzle velocity? How is this accomplished? A better round? Rifling different? Free floating barrel? How exactly? I'm just wondering.
