See this is an interesting debate.
I have used both weapons over the course of my time on BF2. More and more I have had experience firing the
L85A1 due to my new practice of picking up dead medic kits and reviving the medic. Of course then I have their kit and because most of them unlock the L85A1 I get to use it. As for the G36C, it was my first unlock because my first kit I played almost all the time was Spec Ops. So my verdic...
G36C is a superior all around weapon. When it comes to fighting, running, going prone and shooting at medium range and then quickly getting into a close combat situation, I have found that the G36C is superior.
However...
When it comes to a support role in which I am covering people or I am going to be at medium range quite a bit then I find that I like the L85A1 better. I find that my shots find their mark more often and its also easier to see.
Now.. is one more accurate than the other? I actually don't think so. I believe that the L85A1 has a superior Zoom sight which is one thing I dislike about the Iron sights of the G36C. Over time I got used to them and can shoot rather well now. But I mean come on EA/DICE.. was putting a better sight on the gun that much more work?
If the G36C had the zoom sights of the L85A1 there would be no hesitation in my mind that the G36C is the better weapon.
