L85A1

How in the world would a civilian in the US manage to get their hands on one of these things? I mean, to my knowledge there's no semi-auto civvy version and no US governmental or law enforcement agencies use it. The SCAR is similarly out of place but at least plausible... Is it perhaps safe to assume that both of the above guns, like the HK416 in the hands of the US Marine NCO, is a mistake on the armorer's part? Spartan198 08:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I really can't tell if that's an L85A1 or not. But yes, the mistake was probably made by the propmaster or one of their assistants. Stanley is seen loading a G36C in that same episode, which is presumed to have been another weapon taken from the Marines, and that, too, would be a mistake. -MT2008 15:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I blew up the image when first looking at it, thinking perhaps it was an AR with a triangular handguard (e.g., an M16A1 or something thereof), but by the lack of a front sight post and the position and height of what appears to be a SUSAT scope on the receiver (and, you know, the lack of a magazine housing in front of the user's right arm and hand, of course) convinces me that it's an L85.
