There's another explanation...the rifles used in that scene may not have been properly outfitted for blank fire on semi or auto. All of the guns you see in movies that fire on semi-automatic and fully automatic have been specially converted to fire blanks by plugging their barrels internally and carrying out other modifications. Without the barrel plugged, the gun won't cycle, because blanks don't generate enough pressure for normal function. The L85s in that scene may not have been plugged internally, but they might still be standard L85s and not L98s.
Props on the other weapons you noticed.
