|The L85A1 was the standard issue rifle in the Corkonian Army, first replacing the FN Fal. It was put out of service when it was deemed too unusable and jams too much. It wasn't as accurate and securing more guns from the United Kingdom was a hassle. So in 2024 with the Corkonian Army Reforms the L85A1 was put out of service and replaced with the Steyr Aug. The L85A1 is still however used by garrison troops and non combat troops.
