The L number ("L" standing for Land Service) [1] or weapon identity number [2] system is a numerical designation system used for the type classification of British Army weapons and related stores.

The unit cost of the Mk 6 HEAA round is $25,000. [1] The Mk 80 Mod 0 Encased Novel Explosive (SMAW-NE) rocket is effective against caves, buildings, and bunkers. The SMAW-NE has an enhanced-blast warhead with a 4 lb (1.8 kilograms) charge of PBXN-113 and a slightly modified version of the dual mode fuze used by the HEDM rocket, the Mk 420 Mod 1.
[1] Despite its advantages, the Versuchmörser 06 did not pass its acceptance tests and was not placed into mass production because the German Army required 9 km (5.6 mi) range and lighter weight which was later accomplished by the 21 cm Mörser 10. However, enough test models were produced to arm two four-gun batteries.

The Mk 6, in its default configuration, is in dark green color. The British Army use covers to camouflage the helmet and adapt it to different environments. Covers include the British Disruptive Pattern Material in temperate woodland and desert patterns, [7] multicam pattern, Disruptive Pattern Combat Uniform, a pure white cover for arctic environments and a United Nations blue coloured cover.
The Mk.6 seat was developed from the earlier Mk.4 design by the addition of a rocket pack to enable zero-zero capability. [1] A variant of the Mk.6 was fitted with a compressed air cylinder crew breathing system to provide underwater ejection capability for the carrier-borne Blackburn Buccaneer aircraft.
[6] Taping magazines together in order to speed up reloading became so common among troops using the M1 Carbine that the U.S. military experimented with the "Holder, Magazine T3-A1", which came to be referred to by some infantrymen as the "Jungle Clip". This metal clamp holds two M1 Carbine 30-round magazines together without the need for tape. [7]
