Sadly, I haven't. The only automatics I got to play with was the M16 and M60. Fun, but I was never too impressed with auto-fire. Just a good way to waste ammo.

My mistake, I was not aware that there were version of the SA80 that didn't completely suck.

Help from HK will do that.

I'd like to throw in the FN Scar, ACR, HK G36 and the 416.

Across the street.

I may be mistaken, though... it may be the alcohol and gasoline being across the street.

But that's also where they change oil/tires... so... and it's technically the same place... it's a big place.
-It also sells power-tools and kitchen-wares.

Pretty sure they'll watch how you load it into your car with 911 on speed-dial.

P. sure there's a thing about no alcohol in the front-seat. Add to the report that you're armed and you've got yourself one jumpy highway patrolman.

I blame agriculture with giving killers a target rich environment.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

”Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time." -
Winston Churchill, 1947.

"Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” - George Orwell
