Great Britain SUCKS!!!! I knew one of the guys who was shipping the M60 machine guns to the UK for FULL METAL JACKET and it took MONTHS/YEARS for those Brit Customs idiots to clear shipment of all sorts of weapons for Stanley Kubrick's movie. I mean it's STANLEY KUBRICK! It's not like he is an UNKNOWN DIRECTOR!!!!!!!! If there are any weapons mistakes in Full Metal Jacket, you can point the finger directly at the gun control edicts of the UK's Customs division.
