Hi,
Thanks for your question.
If your relating to the SA80 then yes it is a fixed weapon system. However, it has a down grip that is moveable depending on the firers’ preference. It also has the ability to change weapon sights to include night vision capabilities aswell as added torches, lights modules etc.
The British Army as a whole is currently operating on most corners of the world conducting training, exercises, operations and sport.
I hope this answers your question
