Its designation as a "Light Support Weapon" meant that it was originally intended to serve as a section automatic weapon, however in practicality it has been used as a designated marksman rifle mainly due to its extended barrel and support frame.	„

- L86A2 shares its handling characteristic with QJB95-1.

History

The L86A1 LSW (Light Support Weapon) is a magazine-fed squad automatic weapon originally intended to provide fire support at a fireteam level. Its barrel is longer than the L85A1 and has a shorter handguard with a support stock with lightning holes protruding from the front holding a bipod. The stock has a shoulder strap and rear vertical grip. The weapon is otherwise identical to the L85 version on which it is based, and the same 30-round magazines and SUSAT sights. The bolt and trigger system is modified to fire the gun from an open bolt.

Trivia

Although designed with the Automatic Rifleman Role in mind, it became a marksman's weapon in practice until replaced by the L129A1. The L86A2 was phased out of service by the British Army in late 2018.
