Thanks to Bloke on the Range, I have the weights for the L85A3.
The MoD lies!
The basic rifle isn't 100g lighter.
Loaded the L85A2 is 10.4 lb. (11.3 lb. with SUSAT)
The L85A3 is 10.5 lb. without optics or accessories.
The Elcan SpecterOS is 1.1 lb. The Shield CQB is 0.1 lb. The Grip Pod bipod is 0.2 lb.
So an L85A3, as pictured in most places, is 11.9 lb. loaded.
That's a chonky 5.56 gun.
Again, the famously heavy M16A4 with ACOG, vertical grip and light is "just" 10.6 lb.
