Battlefield 3 L85A2
Battlefield 3 L85A2
The Battlefield 3 L85A2 is part of the SA80 family, the L85 is the standard assault rifle of the British armed forces. The L85A2 is required to fire 150 rounds in 8 minutes 40 seconds, and the L86A2 is required to fire 960 rounds in 36 minutes.

Continued testing of the L85A2 in adverse conditions demonstrates its reliability over contemporary rifles, including the M16. Although it is heavier than most conventional and more modern bullpup rifles, its full-length barrel gives higher muzzle velocities and better terminal performance than both the American M4 carbine and M16 assault rifle.
