On the contrary, I think I succeded in getting the forum to
generally agree that the ideal SAR 21 needs to be lighter, have a P
rail, not have a LAD, not have a Kevlar cheek piece etc.
Unfortunately I was outstation for a couple of weeks and did not
pick up where I left off in the SAR 21 thread. If the SAR 21 is so
good, other armed forces wud have already purchased it by the
thousands
What are you talking about? I suggest you reread the SAR-21
thread.
If anything, the your arguments against the LAD revolved mainly
around your ignorance of the very thing and drawing up rather
nonsensical points about it or riding common misconceptions about
it to the death, playing more on emotion then logic and assuming
that our average SAF soldier has an intelligence somewhere between
a banana and cow. At the same time you consistently skirted the
answers that were given to your questions, and it seems to me that
your position is more one of stubborn denial then actual
The people who actually know and use the weapon quite conclusively
proved that there is a reason behind most of the quirks of the
SAR-21... and many of the so called flaws turned out mostly to be
certain people deciding to view it with an extreme bias, some who
never even held the weapon more then 20 minutes to begin
with.
And what "improvements" are you talking about? The SAR-21 has
ALREADY been developed in those variants that are your so-called
"improvements"... long before you even bothered to dream them up.
If you haven't realized if it seemed that anybody "agreed" with you
on the "improvements" it was actually because they are actually
pointing out the rather obvious that one had taken the effort to
read up a bit before splitting hairs on LADs and stuff.
AFAIK, your main grouse should be with the SAF, not the weapon in
itself.
- the fact remains that no one else likes the SAR 21 - for the
moment that is - until it is improved.
Lots of people use Windows even though Mac is often far
superior.
Some other guy already answered this question on the oversaturated
small arms market. Objectively, if one looks at it the Ultimax and
SAR-21 are accepted by reviewers to be among the best of their
class, but at the end of the day market forces play a large part as
well. Are the finest weapons systems the most widespread?... as far
as I checked... no.
And what's up with your constant
judging-a-thing-by-how-many-other-armies-use-it anyway? Have you
bothered to look at the underlying logic instead of shooting off
another one of your "everyone else" posts?
This your "improvements" to make it "sell better" have already been
long implemented before you could even dream them up.
So what exactly is your point in here? Except to raise rather
useless and irrelevant objections that have no bearing on the very
topic at all? Should you be surprised that given your recent
comments on the Terrax you should meet with such hostile
reaction?
Maybe it would do good to actually READ UP and come up with proper
questions or points before posting. It would save everybody A LOT
of time.
