So moi enlisted on 2011... :(

During BMT and medic school, we use SAR21 to train... :(

Very good gun, short short so easy to move around, then got scope so very easy to shoot... :(

Some more charging handle by the side so easy to pull... :(

Then moi got posted to Air Force and we are forced to use M16 because we are considered rear units... :(

The M16 so long move around so mafan... :(

Then the iron sight so jialat so hard to shoot... :(

Charging handle also at the back which make it hard to pull... :(

But why so many old bird said M16 better? Is it nostalgia? :(
Which one easily IA?

I only used AR15 during my time.

First of all, the term is "rifle" and not "gun". In SAF terminology, "gun" refers to artillery pieces, mortar those "dua kee" weapons.

M16 is "better" from the NSF/NSmen because it is easier to handle, weight is lighter and better distributed than the SAR21.

Whilst SAR21 comes with built in scope, the scope can get fogged up, the carrying handle and other parts of the weapon are sharp and can cut/scratch you and it is much heavier with poorer weight distribution.

I used M16 during full-time NS, went through SAR21 conversion midway during reservist, find that yes the scope for SAR21 helps you shoot more accurately but overall, I find the M16 a more user-friendly weapon.
