Exactly.... They're likely L119s A2 I think. I actually asked the poster of the video @royalnavy. Let's see what they say. I know they use them. Especially the close protection and nuclear protection group. I also think they're issued for all marine security for some reason. But usual to see official video of them.

Yeah they're the L119A2's alright. There was a thread a while back regarding one of the commando units Close Protection detachments switching out their SA80's for L119's because the ballistic pressure and rounds issued for the L119's are safer around nuclear environments.

The RMP's Close Protection Detail\bodyguard detachments also use L119's. Other than that, I think the RM still actively use the SA80 system.

That one lad from Essex.
