Something like 70+ million last time I read anything about quantity produced.

To you who have been in harms way, Regardless of weapon, which calibre is best in a firefight
5.56 or 7.62 mm
We had .280 for a wee while...It's a large part of why in the last 100 years, the UK has only had 3 frontline mainstream rifle cartridges (for rifles, not including .30-06 and 7.92 in machine guns, or stuff limited to home guard / home service / limited issue): .303 Mk.VII/7z, 7.62 NATO and 5.56 NATO. Even the Seppos have only had 1 more change that required a change in rifles (3 compatible flavours of .30-06, 7.62 NATO, 2 flavours of 5.56 that are one-way compatible).
And if you understand Theory of a Group, you'll know that a poor shot might hit a target at a long range when a good shot might miss it...Stop repeating things you've heard the big boys say, the L1A1 was a decent rifle for its day and could deliver accurate fire out to 300m, however it was perfectly possibly to hit man sized targets at longer ranges. 500m was well within the capabilities of a good shot with an L1A1.
A very wee while indeed. There were never more than 60-odd prototype rifles made and it was never issued. It didn't even get as far as full scale troop trials, let alone actually being issued to front-line inf...We had .280 for a wee while...

A good shot wont miss , an average one may do occasionally and a poor shot will eventually hit a target if enough lead is sent in the right direction.And if you understand Theory of a Group, you'll know that a poor shot might hit a target at a long range when a good shot might miss it...
Very briefly. On the back of 60-odd prototypes. And never went further than that. If we want to include odd stuff in the system, there's also .276 Enfield in the P13 (1000-odd made for a full troop trial), and .30-06 (P17's in the home guard / training / possibly a touch of home service and possibly some Navy service), 6.5mm Arisaka for training and navy in WW1, and there's probably some other stuff "adopted". But I drew the line at front-line inf service to avoid all of thatAIUI it was taken into service as the Rifle, No. 9?
Uncle Sam then insisted on 7.62, and switched to .223...

You are missing the point here , a good shot knows where zero is and knows his DOPE. Youve not done much rifle shooting have you ?Small group, weapon not properly zeroed, miss.
Large group weapon not properly zeroed and poor shot, some rounds may well hit.

"Dope" is a Seppo term.You are missing the point here , a good shot knows where zero is and knows his DOPE. Youve not done much rifle shooting have you ?
They may get knocked around but quality sights are rarely affected plus checking your zero is easy enough."Dope" is a Seppo term.
And rifles get knocked about and go out of zero all the time...
Correct for amateurs who never check zero and hope for the best.I'm not missing the point.
What i said is correct.
I phased the question wrong,Both
and some .50
and some 105
Nope.
You're annoyed that I'm right, but enough of the threadcrap
A good mate of mine and I both went through Basic using the SLR. By then, most were on the way to being shot out. The rear sight on mine, for instance, would wander up and down the tangent with the recoil.Your point being, when my post was referring to the accuracy of the L1A1?
Were you trying to get some use out of all that TA knowledge that you never got to put into practice? Or were you just trying to be a smartarse?
It's a miracle that we hit anything in 82 after zeroing on Ascension Island in the tropical heat..........Zero will shift with different air Pressure, temperature and humidity ,considerably at longer distances, look it up. (I doubt it will be in your TA theory handbook)
