Man suffers gunshot wound while cycling in restricted forested area near SAF live-firing activity

[106gunner]

What weapon? SAW or MG? Unlikely SAR21.

The General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG), specifically the FN MAG, has an effective range of 800 to 1,800 meters when mounted on a tripod. When mounted on a bipod, the effective range is typically shorter, around 800 meters. The GPMG is a versatile weapon used in both light role and sustained fire (SF) roles.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Effective Range: The GPMG can be effective at long ranges, with effective ranges varying based on the mount. On a tripod, it can reach up to 1800 meters, while on a bipod, it's typically effective up to 800 meters.
  
  
• Sustained Fire (SF) Role: In the SF role, with a two-man crew, the GPMG can deliver a high volume of fire (750 rounds per minute) at extended ranges.
  
  
• Rate of Fire: The GPMG has a cyclic rate of fire of around 750 rounds per minute.
  
  
• Caliber: The GPMG uses 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition.

“The public is not allowed to access that particular area, which has signages warning against unauthorised entry into a live-firing area," the police said.

Signage serve no purpose as durian season is near. Expect more trespasser in other restricted areas.

Yah, the sniper can't be purposely aiming at no where or concealed target.

Precisely my unit have sniper platoon and usually are corporal and SGT minimum and I seen they fire before

 

[gilcrest]

How about the OCS cadet who shot fellow cadet close by nong nong time agoi

Why is there range on a Sunday?? Even reservists don't do range on Sunday, let alone NSFs. Which unit booked the range on Sunday morning?? Come clean!!!!

Who say no range on weekends one

Cyclist never demand that the bullet stay 1.5m away?

they will demand that the live firing range must move and give them 1.5km whenever they cycle

My friend lagi worst, went in go pick durian with other friends. Area quiet and that was the era when they changed to pixelated uniform. Suddenly a company stood up and charge forward scaring them running amok; end result twisted his ankle. point of the story was the pixelated uniform worked

The shooter shld earn his marksmanship badge and $200 instantly.

 

[gilcrest]

Exactly and it's not exactly like just outside the range...He was quite a distance away..

Circled is the range..the dotted dash lines are the known illegal trails...The rest are basically vegetation...

Likely shot the sky, 2km range, bullet got no eyes

 

[samferguson]

How about the OCS cadet who shot fellow cadet close by nong nong time agoi

Wah that case misfire, really sad sigh...

 

[gilcrest]

At most he will only be charged by NParks for unauthorised access to Nature Reserve.

That is provided can prove its outside the demarcated area; ib inside SAF area consperm different charge
