Thanks for that info about the L85.

But The concept of a weapon you can change at a moment's notice out in the field didn't seem to catch on really. The military mindset is usually 1 weapon for everyone with specific weapons for special purposes. No one would be carrying extra barrels or handguards to the field.


I just started playing Homefront the Revolution and while it's cool that I can turn my M4 instantly into something like the Shrike LMG system...who carries extra receivers and barrels into combat?

I mean, if troops are deployed to somewhere, an armory of sort would be set up to keep inventory of weapons, repairs, ammo, etc. So any changes or switch to weapons would happen there or troops would be issued their weapons and they take it with them as they deploy into transports.
