Default Re: More UK OOB Errata

I was reading about the SA80 and saw this paragraph:
"One new Under slung Grenade Launcher (UGL), designed to be
mounted beneath the barrel of the IW, will be issued to each fire
team, replacing the Rifle Grenade General Service (RGGS) and 51mm
mortar ? significantly reducing the ammunition load the infantry
section carries, while enhancing its capabilities. The UGL will be able to
fire 40mm High Explosive (HE), smoke and illuminating rounds out to
a range of 350 m to destroy, obscure or indicate enemy positions."

I noticed that in the OOB that there is only a RGGS and no UGL. Is this an oversight?
