Particularly since the spring wasn't designed for vertical upwards feeding. Hence jams. Hence ballockings. Some unit armourers fitted stronger springs but I'm pretty sure that it didn't feed out into the wider army as a Done Thing.
Add that to the fact that thirty rounds of 7.62mm NATO plus the magazine itself is extremely bloody heavy, and polymer magazines weren't a thing back then.

Faking up stuff is rife in the surplus / deact industry, most of the suppressed Sterlings L34A1 you see for sale are fakes. No doubt someone its already cutting down mags.

Our Welsh gun fettler pimped a rifle whose name shall not be mentioned. It had a box full of LMG mags with extra spring sections added - and just because he had done a metal gluing and also a lathe ops course - he banged up a top cover with a rail fitted and "borrowed" a bipod off something and turned up a fitment for that too. Not pretty, but with a scope it reached out and touched a fig 11 at 600 very reliably and consistently.
Weren't these designed for the heavy barrelled version of the SLR, itself based on the heavy barrelled FN.
From wiki:
A variant named L2A1/C2A1 (C2), meant to serve as a light machine gun in a support role, is also capable of fully automatic fire. Differences from the L1A1/C1 include a heavy barrel, squared front sight (versus the "V" on the semi-automatic models), a handguard that doubles as a foldable bipod, and a larger 30-round magazine although it could also use the normal 20-round magazines. Only Canada and Australia used this variant.
L2A1
The FN version.

The giant laser was just an aiming mark for that rifle.

More modern flying suits have a D ring in that sort of position. IIRC it was to hang the oxygen mask on. More usual was to have a dog tag attached to it.

IIRC it was issued to RAF CVRT crews late 80's I think there was even a DPM version at one point

Looks like the version issued to Despatch Riders. "But Staff, why can't I wear my own modern gear and stay warm...?!?"
The DPM version was advertised to death in Soldier.
