The Lyrics
The British Enfield EM-2 (aka Janson Rifle) was a post-WW2 bullpup design that took German tech with intermediate rounds and came up with a rifle that fired .280 ammo (7.1mm). The British Army picked it up in 1951 but Churchill pulled it from service, opting for NATO standardized 7.62x51 mm in the Belgian FN FAL rifle which went on to serve 90 nations! However, the EM-2 influenced the return to British bullpups with the SA-80 which at first would use a new 4.85 mm round. Again, NATO standard meant adopting the 5.56x45 round!!!
The Enfield EM-2
Bullpup pride
German intermediate round clues
Down to 7.1 (mm)
For the new gun
Churchill didn't like it
Didn't think it sound
Went with NATO standard
7.62x51 all around
(FN FAL was British Army bound)
The Enfield EM-2
Bullpup pride
Bullpup died...
Low round used
Finish- crude
Not good with abuse
It was temporary
But decades in future
Rebirth indeed
As the SA-80
In time was meant to be
The Enfield EM-2
Basics survived
(Will SA-Ultra next Gen succeed?)

My politics may be right-wing, but I shoot long guns left handed. Bullpups just ain't my thing. British troops are unlikely to have any firearms experience before enlistment, so they can more easily adapt.
