Summary

Description
English: Pictured is the new SA80 A3 Assault Rifle.The current issue SA80 A2 assault weapon is being upgraded into the A3 spec under the Mid Life Improvement (MLI) project, which will ensure the rifle has the enhancements needed to remain in service until 2025 and beyond.This multi-million-pound upgrade will give British troops a lighter, more hardwearing, better-camouflaged combat rifle so our personnel can perform on the frontline of some of the most dangerous locations across the world.The changes to the rifle include a more durable hardwearing coating in a“Flat Dark Earth” colour offering better camouflage in a range of environments.A weight saving of 100g over the A2, and a more streamlined fore grip making the weapon easier to handle.The A3 rifle has a bracket to secure new innovative low light sights which can clip on or in front of the day sight without the need to remove it.These sights are smaller, lighter and require fewer batteries whilst operating just as effectively in low light/night conditions.
