Good old SA-80

[Nippleboy]

Hello all,
its been a while since I've looked at this place
I was wondering Is Bibmi's SA-80 still the best one going?
And how are his SAS guys coming along?
there wasn't any info on them at his site?
cheers
chris

[screamingeagle_101]

Wait a tick?
Bibmi has a site!
What's the address?

[FlidMerchant]

Now all we need is a jamming script

[Coporal_Punishment]

download the ofp-fotress bunkerpack 4 they have the best SA-80 I have ever seen. It looks better then bibmi's Sa-80 becuase it was converted with O2 while bobmi had to convert the p3d file.

Well, indeed the OFP-Frotress SA80 is probably best one available at the moment.
However it's a way too big and some resizing work would be good.
I remember that i saw a post by bimbi showing his SA80 model (not in game), which looked very, very good, but it was in the previous OFPEC forum.

And, hell no! We don't need no jamming script! Imagine your're using a brand new L85A1 upgraded by HK

Try telling that to the lads in 45 Cdo RM who's had nothing but gripes about it in Op Enduring Freedom...  ;D

[Eviscerator]

actually the reason they had so many stoppages was because they were cleaning it the way the old gun had to be cleaned, the new one has a different cleaning process because of the modifications, the guys in afghanistan probably hadnt had time to learn how to do the new one yet...

The firm that carried out the £92 million changes, Heckler & Koch, which is owned by BAE Systems, says that if the maintenance instructions are properly followed, the gun should be among the best in the world. In non-operational conditions in barracks a soldier would be expected to take up to 15 minutes stripping, cleaning and oiling the different parts. In operational conditions maintenance is supposed to take only about a minute.
MoD officials admit that the rifle's reputation has been tarnished by the multitude of problems it has faced over the years and that some elements of the Forces, notably the Royal Marines, still have no confidence in its reliability. One MoD official said that it had become all too easy for a soldier to blame the rifle if anything went wrong.

Well i made this a while ago but it way to high poly for the game, so i remade it but i havent done much with it after being in the falklands mod, ill dig it up outta me archives and see what i can do.

[.357 SIG]

Wow, nice one  ;D
I guess it won't go with the mod, but do you plan to release it as a separate addon?

[screamingeagle_101]

They shouldn't had issued the SA80A2 to troops in the field.
The commandoes wouldn't have the time to learn how to clean the new weapon, they would be to busy fighting the enemy.
It should had been issued to troops in UK first for them to learn how to clean the new weapons while they have the time. But instead they had to give them to Royal Marines who were on a major operation at the time.

This must had been really big blow to Heckler and Koch thanks to the MoD.

[Marsuitor]

Well regardless, the SA80, Mk2 or not, is a too sensitive piece of weapon anyhow IMO. Too many bits and fiddlesticks, and an awkward shape/design...

BTW.
Very nice model, hope to see it ingame soon! ;D

[KevBaz]

ill see what i can get sorted about getting it finished no prmises though as the mod take sup most of my time

[Frosty]

Hey, we dont need no jammin SA80 or whatever, us Aussies have the good ol' Aug. Sure it goes off from time to time, sorta like a luger, just make sure noones in the backseat of the truck when transportin them to the front line.

[screamingeagle_101]

Frosty what do you mean by "goes off from time to time"?
Does the AUG have a safety catch? or are you aussies just plain stupid?

no offence by that but having a weapon that "goes off from time to time" is not a weapon that I would like to use.

You can say what you like about the SA80 but dont knock it till youve fired it, cus then youll know what its really like (Fantasticly accurate - thanx to the SUSAT sighting). Im part of a Cadet force... thats how i know this.

[bigsouth1981]

Im in the kings regiment (Armoured infantry), so i fire the sa80 on a regular basis. Ive noticed if its kept very clean, then its a very reliable, accurate weapon.
Im in the shooting team, and the weapons acuraccy is unquestionable, thanks to the susat no doubt. Hitting a figure 11 target at 400m every time is a breeze, providing the rifle has been zeroed correctly.
Personally i dont mind it, although i think the LSW is turd. I had on on excercise last week and in one section attack it jammed 28 times, 23 of them in repetition. Despite my stoppage drills, the weapon only improved after i had cleaned it thoroughly.

[Top Gun]

I agree, the lsw is about as supportive as a rubber crutch!!!! but its better than nothing i suppose.

[bigsouth1981]

yeah better than throwing stones i suppose.
The quicker we are given th C9 the better
Minimi all the way........or the hk mg43, dont know if youve seen it, looks pretty sinilar

[Top Gun]

no i havent, but the C9 would be much better. Wot do you reckon to the warrior? Could it be made into an addon?

[KevBaz]

this

http://www.opflashpoint.org/addons.php?v=462


is the BEST sa-80 to date, really top notch work and the reason why i binned my one

[Bibmi]

The are some pics here of the SA80 and LSW that will be released in the first weapons pack

http://www.concept-5.com/ukforces/


Chris330 is also a member of the UK Forces team and he is also working on some other interesting weapons addons...

[HuNtA]

Thats well good.
When I got it the first thing i did thought was de pbo it, open it up in oxygen, and move the gun back a bit so he holds it

[FatJoe]

Heres one new, among few other guns that will be included in PUKF - untextured



Cheers

[Stu35]

are you aussies just plain stupid?

I can't believe you have to ask.

and the SA80 only jams if it is not cleaned periodically as shown in the manual - it clearly states -


"THIS WEAPON MUST BE CLEANED PERIODICALLY* REGARDLESS OF USAGE OR STORAGE


*every 5 minutes minimum, 2 minutes reccomended"

You can say what you like about the SA80 but dont knock it till youve fired it, cus then youll know what its really like (Fantasticly accurate - thanx to the SUSAT sighting). Im part of a Cadet force... thats how i know this.

I fired it, carried it around for a bit, and pined for the good old days all the while.

Okay, so we could hit rabbits at 350 metres without too much hassle, but whether or not we could hit a potential enemy is irrelevant because we were essentially lugging around a BB Gun with a challenging in-built 3D puzzle game.

Thats my opinion and i stick by it, god save the SLR because the UN wouldn't, the bastards.


Fatjoe - those models are okay, commendable

[Messiah]

'those models are ok, commendable'

hmmm, low poly would be a word...  

stu, trust me, ive been testing this weapon in game... it doesnt jam, you dont have to clean it, and it sounds and looks like the dogs bollocks - alrite?

turst me, try and aiport siege at night where all you can hear is SA80's and see their tracers... looks fucking mint!

and whether the LSW is a goo support weapon or not, i dont think need sto be discusses... in game it kicks ass... in real life it sucks ass... go figure  

[Messiah]

hmmm, here is a pic of our 'commendable' weapons...  ;D

[img removed]SA80__LSW.JPG[/img]

[FatJoe]

can anyone tell me what this 'commendable' means?!  

Cheers
Joe

[Cpt. FrostBite]

those weapons look very nice!.


But the soldiers look even better! God, I like those desert BDU's (DPM?) of the british.

to Fat joe.
lose weight! And to commendable. (I'm not english, so I can be wrong) I think it's 'short' for 'recommendable'. With other words; he would recommand people to download/use them when finished.

[Messiah]

hmm, the desert troops are very sexy, must admit... theese are DESERT BDU's.... normal cammo is the DPM (disruptive pattern material)

trust me, even tho these para's aint completely finished yet... the beta's ive been using are of a higher quality than anything you have seen before  ;D

and the SA80 stilll sounds like my dogs bollocks  ;D

[vade_101]

Commendable: from  the Latin commendare (to entrust); to recommend as worthy of confidence or notice

 

[Cpt. FrostBite]

hmm, I was almost right ;D

thanks for this english lesson vade_101. Writing in these forums really improves my english.

[Nippleboy]

Is it just me or are those 80's a little big?

[Messiah]

they are spot on from what i remember from the CCF... although the nearest one is a LSW - so its gonna be longer, lol  

[Bomberman]

Now all we need is a jamming script

ROFL ^_^
