The '''L86 ''' is a magazine-fed automatic weapon originally intended to provide fire support at a [[wikipedia:fireteam|fireteam]] level. It has a longer barrel than the [[L85]] rifle, on which it is based, and a bipod, shoulder trap and rear pistol grip, together with a shorter handguard. The extended barrel provides an increased muzzle velocity and further stabilizes the bullet, giving a greater effective range. The weapon is otherwise identical to the L85, and the same 30-round magazines and sighting systems are used. Like the L85 rifle, it has a fire selector on the left side behind the magazine housing, enabling either semi-automatic or automatic fire.{{Clear}}

The '''L86 LSW''' ('''L'''ight '''S'''upport '''W'''eapon) is a Light Support Weapon variant of the [[L85]], featuring a longer barrel, aft-grip for supported shooting, and a bipod. Despite technically being an LMG, the L86's relatively small magazine size and lack of quick-change barrels cause it to be relatively unsuited to a suppressive fire role. However, its longer barrel provides superior accuracy and range, and as a result the L86 is generally employed as a [[Designated Marksman Rifle]] by British forces. The '''L86A1''' variant was the initial version of the L86, but like the L85A1, it was plagued by reliability issues, and was upgraded to the significantly more dependable '''A2''' standard in 2000.

The '''L86A2''' makes its debut in the ''Battlefield'' franchise with the ''[[Battlefield 3: Close Quarters|Close Quarters]]'' expansion pack for ''Battlefield 3''. The L86A2 is a magazine-fed light machinegun, comparable to the [[M27 IAR]] and [[RPK-74M]]. Like those weapons, the L86A2 possesses 45+1 magazines by default, with all of the attachments available to those weapons, and has the same unlock progression (contrasted to the belt-fed light machineguns, where the unlocks are gained in a slightly different order). With Extended Mags, it has a 60+1 round mag. It is aesthetically very similar to its cousin that was added to the game in ''[[Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand|Back to Karkand]]'', but with a much different barrel and a slightly different reloading animation. Additionally, the L86A2's bipod has no unfolding animation, with the bipod already deployed. It is more of a mobile machine gun like the [[M27 IAR]] and it goes well with a [[Holographic Sight]], [[Foregrip]], and [[Heavy Barrel]] where it will maintain incredible accuracy even at long ranges. It's worth noting the L86A2 is the only magazine-fed light machinegun which gains the additional bonus of reduced vertical recoil from the foregrip.

L86A2

An L86A2 with a SUSAT scope in reality.

The L86 LSW (Light Support Weapon) is a Light Support Weapon variant of the L85, featuring a longer barrel, aft-grip for supported shooting, and a bipod. Despite technically being an LMG, the L86's relatively small magazine size and lack of quick-change barrels cause it to be relatively unsuited to a suppressive fire role. However, its longer barrel provides superior accuracy and range, and as a result the L86 is generally employed as a Designated Marksman Rifle by British forces. The L86A1 variant was the initial version of the L86, but like the L85A1, it was plagued by reliability issues, and was upgraded to the significantly more dependable A2 standard in 2000.
