This is a big paragraph of plenty of exclaimations
and very poorly english, really sad for an SAF "officer".
Firstly can you highlight the weapon distribution plan of the
SAF in such an eventuality or are you pulling it out of your behind
like most of the things you've come up with in military nuts?
Secondly if our AA defences, one of the densest in the world,
can be penetrated, especially around our bases and our initial
warstock taken out, what makes you think you can even get your new
weapon from the reserve warstock without suffering a similar
fate?
LOL this is a pretty rubbish statement. Compared to
sights like ACOG or even the British SUSAT sight the SAR-21
sight is pretty primitive.
Please qualify yourself, what do you mean by "our sight
which auto lead our eye to do correction"
Do you have a "storywolf internal logic check which auto lead
him to do basic logic correction?"
Plese refer to testimonies of SAF soldiers who actually use the
product in field conditions.
In any case you answered your own question, they were using
fresh, off the line rifles. The whole crux of your argument falters
because everyone in here is pointing out that no matter what,
eventually the factory zero will slip once the rifle gets enough
typical use, and of course to truly take advantage of the rifle,
you got to optimize it by zeroing it anyway.
If you are not a bad shot, you should be able to hit targets
with the factory zero on a fresh weapon, this is hardly a surprise.
We are not arguing that the factory zero does not work, just that
it is far less useful then you are trying to make it out to be
given that even under moderate useage the weapon itself will need
to be rezeroed in time.
In fact you are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, do
you need me to post the testimonies of other gun experts who are
less then happy then the SAR-21 when they were evaluating it for
export? And also the reason why it has not found much
export while it's twin, the TAVOR is leaps and bounds
ahead of it?
Heard of the case one evaluator refered to the rifle
as "worthless for the artic role", not because it jammed or
something but because something as basic as the fire selector could
not be operated with gloves?
So what you going to do now? Argue that global warming will
eventually make the SAR-21 useful in such situtations just like
magical bombs and shells can penetrate our AA and counterbattery
defence that seek out our initial warstock will spare our
reserve warstock and allow us a chance to use factory zero?
Nice try, but no cigar.
You are saying our AA is densest in the world - 100% cannot
penetrate ? Hello - people so near to us - shoot artilliry
rounds - you tell me how to intercept arty rounds !!! ? Think you
have worst thinking then lionnoisy !
Popular Mechanics are not dumb - they did their homework before
they publish !!
As you have asked
From Janes Defense magazine -
http://www.janes.com/defence/land_forces/news/idr/idr000531_2_n.shtml
The
reticle of the SAR-21 sight is such that it also leads the
shooter's eye naturally to the target, another advantage which will
certainly inspire soldier confidence in the rifle because it
enables him to quickly acquire and hit targets to the limit of the
rifle's effective range. We were impressed not only with the
simplicity of the sighting system, but with the ability to achieve
a high percentage of rapid-fire hits at 300m without any zeroing
whatsoever
Would not operate with gloves ? - Seem those folks can sure
operate with gloves. As someone from guard unit - i am sure you use
gloves often - tell me frankly - Did you have a hell of problem -
fire selector with gloves on ?
Ok good - post me the real gun experts that
is less then happy with SAR-21 ! Yes there is a few
who feel that selector would have been better if it was there and
this - but those are minor things - which they too say - it is good
to have but all on the whole still think overall - it is a good
rifle. Go ahead - show me some respectable real gun expert -
that say that overall it is not a good rifle.
If your view on export - you seem to say - that if it did not
export that well mean it is not that good - that mean if it export
well = it is very good . Strange - you seem to have slam that very
ideal in the discussion on 40mm grenade rounds, when someone told
you that singapore is the world lead in 40mm grenade ... !!!
