[POLL] Why so many old bird NSmen say M16 very good? Moi think SAR21 way better leh! :(

[Nuclear Boy]

But if not going war and only wayang, then the fancier, lighter, shorter weapon, IA all the way is still ok.

M16 is longer, but lighter than SAR-21.

 

[Nuclear Boy]

What are the drawbacks Bro Nuclear Boy?

Weight, rate of fire (on full auto), magazine placement, sub-optimal handgrip position (esp if you're a smaller person than design avg)

I think biggest drawback is that it can't use standard STANAG magazines like on M16, in terms of logistics. We still have M16 in use, plus Ultimax SAW, all share the same mag (SAW got extra holes punched, but otherwise can still be used in M16).

M16 is longer, but lighter than SAR-21.

Heavier is a poor choice unless the weapon is more robust and has greater firepower.

 

[Slowdown]

Moi only use AR15.

Heavier is a poor choice unless the weapon is more robust and has greater firepower.

Minor plus point would be less muzzle rise due to recoil, counteracted partly by the addtional weight.

But a rifle spends most of its time being carried around, not being fired, so...

 

[crimsontactics]

They are just a member of a regular infantry section. They are not snipers.

Moi know, but tiagong their marksman criteria ish harder cos their targets are further away Bro Nuclear Boy?

 

[crimsontactics]

Yeah, as long meet the minimum height requirement to fire from foxhole position. Each hole got a spec beside to supervise and assist de.

SG so liberal de Bro Nuclear Boy?

 

[crimsontactics]

can't even learn how to pilot a fighter jet

wasted
but everyday can book out, k laa

Your sergeant allow chiu to shoot full auto Bro Nuclear Boy?

I don't think so. I could be wrong, but I think they're issued a bog standard SAR-21 like everyone else for marksmanship session to make it fair.

Moi never used before Bro Slowdown...

But tiagong the sharpshooter's SAR21 got 3x scope Bro Nuclear Boy...

I did it secretly during a live firing range session. Everyone also firing away, PING-PONG-PIANG-PING-PONG-PIANG~, the supervising officer also cannot tell.

The slow rpm and recoil mechanism really does wonders. It is very easy to handle even on full auto.

"You might very well think that. But I couldn't possibly comment."

Those using AR15 should be Grandpa grade liao.

 

[Nuclear Boy]

SG so liberal de Bro Nuclear Boy?

They deem it safe enough I guess. All the rifles are chained up on the spot too. Can only fire while it's rested on sandbags.

 

[Nuclear Boy]

I'm not sure, but just in case.
