The Deputy Chief of Defence Staff (Transformation) at the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence,General Stephen Laughter who is soon to retire and take up a post with a small arms manufacturer in the United States of America,has chosen game-changing AR-15 rifles to replace the SA80 family of weapons currently in service with the Royal Navy,British Army and Royal Air Force going forward,a decision he described as a no-brainer,he added that procurement of this sixty year old design demonstrated a commitment to modernisation in the face of an increasingly dangerous security environment and that in an era of ever closer military integration using the same weapon as key allies shall be transformational.
