Rifle is obviously the Lee-Enfield, right?

As a matter of fact, the Sten is already in service and for the same reasons as in OTL, and the Rifle is indeed the Lee-Enfield.
What about the Lanchester or, to borrow from Australia, the Owen? The latter being a great weapon. Its so easy, even girls can use it.How about SMGs? I hope your not gonna use the bloody Sten, especially not the Mk2...
gaiasabre11 This one is dead because it is a bullpup design, which I hate, and anyway, the Brits will hold on to the .303 for now, eventually developing a rimless version for the SLR, which [censored due to Official Secrets Act 1939 ].
Do I have to remind you that the current British standard rifle is also a Bullpop? (not to mention the totally awesome FAMAS. )
Yes. And I hate both of them for that very reason. I already have something in mind for that, but I can't tell you. Spoilers you know, and there are these gentlemen from MI5....
Not trying to be offensive, but trek I do think that you are either possessed with "conventional" rifles, or that you don't know much about bullpops. I do agree that conventional rifles like G36, FN SCAR, HK 416 and the kind are awesome, but bullpops offer a lot of advantages over conventionals. Aside from FAMAS, there are good examples like AUG, Tavor, FN 2000 and more.
I freely admit it's personal preference and the fact that the G-36 is so awesome.
I checked that out already. (You think I didn't? ) Look at its stats and you'll know that it's not only bulkier and heavier, but also holds 5 less rounds in its magazine compared to the Barrett. The barrel length of the Barrett is not known, but a good guess is that it is on par with the AS 50.
i personally dont know anything about which rifle is best, but i agree with trek that bullpup is awful for the simple reason that i think they all look ridiculous.
I wonder, that if you adopt the SLR (L1A1), will you adopt the short version, which we Aussies modified in Vietnam and named it "the bitch". They had shorter, thicker barrels, full auto and a 40mm 'nad launcher (and no bi-pod. Which must have given it one hell of a kick back!)
