The Ministry of Defence has disclosed the total number of SA80 rifles currently in use across the Armed Forces.

The figures, obtained through a Freedom of Information request by BFBS Forces News, provide a rare insight into the UK’s weapon inventory – just weeks before the Government’s Strategic Defence Review is set to report.
