@MrPorktoast

Many of the advanced roles in the British Forces are allowed to customize their load outs.

Forces like The Paras, Royal Marines, SAS, SBS etc.

@AAPowerdog I know that, but the british army has the weapons it needs to equip our soldiers with what they need. These guys aint special forces, so why are they using canadian weapons?

[AAPowerdog]

@MrPorktoast different soldiers play differnt roles in there groups, so they get different guns

Is that LLoyd Newell doing press ups in the black jacket? RIP pal.

@MrPorktoast Maybe they like them better than the Mk6s or 7's they get issued? if a piece of kit makes you more confortable while doing your job just as good or better, than by all means go nuts!

[MrPorktoast]

@TheSafetyTurtle i know that now, but it still doesnt explain why they use diferent helmets and a few different rifles, whats wrong with the standard kit?

[TheSafetyTurtle]

@MrPorktoast Those are not M4's but L119A1's/Diemaco C8's from Canada.
