U wanna noe the weapons used in the past? Perhaps I can shed
some light. My father was the first batch NS ppls. He told me that
during that time ppls used the left over gear of the New Zealand
army. Like their uniform, which tears easily and is over-sized for
Asian, their boots that are veri crappy, helmet so big that it
covered some ppls eyes!
As for weapons, they used the Lee Enfield Mark4 rifle, the Bazooka,
60mm mortars, Self loading rifle(SLR), AR-15. During their time,
the AR-15 is considered as something veri high tech and a big
hoo-ha then. It is so medieval that it is not the round muzzle but
the 3 prong ones. The worst is the Bazooka, long and un-weldy,
difficult to chiong in even
Lim chu kang area. The best thing is, go live firing always miss!
Forget to say, he also use before the GPMG, thus you can imagine
how old the weapons we are using now, since late sixties to
now!!
