I don't know if you heard about this but i just got word from cyberpionner in facebook that the Singapore army does not have any plans to adopt the ambitious looking SAR-21A, folks do you have any views on that?

SAR-21 introduced in late 1990's for the infantry, SAR-21 is then introduced to BMT units in 2005-6

Forum keeps chopping my post, 3rd time and tired to retype.

Basic rehash, 21A is just the SAR with a P-rail, which the SAF don’t really use, so not much improvement for us. No point spending the extra for the same basic item.

SAR-21A can be used amidextourously, will be good for the lefties. Like me..

Mr Milo SG

how about HEL (High Energy Laser) weapons for the infantry?

It’s illegal.

Violation of the Geneva Convention.

Mr Milo SG

Why is this so?

Since this is an advantage, why not allow it?

Blinding danger, violation of Article 4 of Ban On Certain Conventional Weapons. Causes permanent blindness. Similar to landmine danger, it only cripples, not kills.

And I think your link’s the wrong one, it’s to a movie. And a pretty propagandish one at that…

Mr Milo SG

That is too bad

Many useful and powerful weapons exists and do not get to be used just because of this Article 4

Naplams, cluster munitions....they are examples

The last thing many Iranian soldiers ever saw. Iraq used their T-72 laser range finders for this.
