insouciant SG

Anyone can identify this weopon being carried during the demonstration? Didn't know we had it in service.

gaoxingdcf SG

SAR21, t-rail with a 3.0x scope.

LazerLordz SG

I've played with it a few years back. Heavier but has a better centre of gravity.

Hope they solved the mount integrity issue. Laughing

mr_sotong SG

for show only.. Laughing

sir sickolot II SG

it’s a SAR 21 with alot of ‘add-ons’... basically i think it just means it’s heavier, not anymore practical than the original one.

*me plays wayang kulit music* Mr. Green

freedom4ever SG

the 2nd one looks like super soaker.

ktk SG

the "scope" is actually an EOTECH reflex sight, super ex piece of equipment IMHO.

sight alone 300 USD...

boka SG

Why don’t the have es c90?

cloud210 SG

the front grip can provide much more stability.. i think it outweights the fact it is heavier

ktk SG

trust me. the front fish bone IS light.

ever seen a M16a4 RIS?

i have handled a real KA one and boy does it feel light! less than 400 grams IMHO... (just the RIS, no gun = =)

should be even lighter on the SAR21 given that its smaller,shorter and made of aircraft grade aluminium or al/mg alloy.

Hellraiza SG

It’s part of the ACMS

insouciant SG

Yes, it looks like a shorten SAR21. But heavily modified. Is it in operational service? Or just testing and show?

Whats ACMS?

Hellraiza SG

advanced combat man system

chanjyj SG

the answer should be pretty obvious lah Laughing
If it's in service it'll be in service with some elite group. Normal infantry will never see it.

Hellraiza SG

one day all infantrymen will use it! pretty cool toy. holodot sights, guncam, and a few features i'm not sure i can say. Laughing it reminds me of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2

eagle SG

Is there a SAR21 replacement for carbine?

chanjyj SG

Buddy, if they can SHOW it to the public I don't see why the features can't be said Mr. Green

chanjyj SG

Hmm... lol.. I wonder if I can "bang" into the gun during NDP Laughing

sir sickolot II SG

one day....... but when will that day be?
I still think it's too costly to equip all the Bns with such technology. Actually cost is not an issue ( with MINDEF since when was cost an issue) but whether it is cost effective, now that's a different set of problem.
