A quick overview. For those that are unaware of the term "Bullpup"; it means that the magazine, action, and charging handle are behind the pistol grip. This allows for the barrel length to be the same length as a standard rifle, but for the rifle itself to be a hell of a lot shorter. The L85A2 is the model variant directly after the L85A1. There are many different variants of the L85, including:
The L86A2:

And now for the rating. This applies to only the L85A2, not any of the other variants.
Range: ***
Accuracy: *****
Recoil: ***
Capacity: ***
Mobility: **
Stealth: ***
Weight: ***
SAA: ***
Overall: ****
The L85 has great range, as well as amazing accuracy. It doesn't have bad recoil, and it has the average capacity. Mobility is fair, and it's better on stealth seeing the bullpup design. It has a decent weight to it, and is shocking as far as its first glance. Overall; I give the L85A2 a 4 star rating.
I now bring this post to a close by saying that I have always been impressed with the L85 as a weapon system.
