lionnoisy SG What is it? from here ---SAF in Ex!!--http://bbs.news.sina.com.cn/?h=/g_forum/00/04/01/view.php%3Ffid%3D28924%26tbid%3D2121&g=1 Compare CIS 40mm Grenade Launcher (CIS 40 GL)
SingaporeTyrannosaur SG It’s a P90 dude… and the rounds it fire are a lot smaller then 40mm grenades.
moca SG Here's your 40mm grenade launcher. Used by SAF SOF. I assume for the "hush puppy" role - meaning sentry killer. I also assume that this was picked for a number of reasons. SAF has never believed much in sub-calibre SMG like 9mm or .45 as they are too low velocity, has round nose which lack penetration of body armour etc. But a 5.56 is probably not quiet enough for the silenced role. Hence, a PDW calibre of 5.7mm calibre was picked. (Another competing PDW calibre is H&K 4.6mm. Don't know if SAF considered this.) The 5.7mm has lower power than the 5.56 and thus more controllable full-auto. But its bullet is a good armour penetrator. Singapore has also picked 5.7mm as the kinetic part of the SSW - Section Support Weapon.
calvin2224 SG Well the comments posted by the other users at the forum arent too positive http://bbs.news.sina.com.cn/?h=/g_forum/00/04/01/view.php%3Ffid%3D28924%26tbid%3D2121&g=1
Fatum SG what do you expect ... those types only like to scratch their own balls ... no need to read too much into it ...
equlus84 SG well.........that the typical PRC military forummers. You dun need to take them too seriously, as most of them have no experience in the army at all. All their "military" experience is taken from CS or their summer camps held in PLA camps. There was once, I seen before this PRC forummer quarreling with other countries forummers, over a pic in which a PLA trooper is seen with finger at the trigger why trekking on a sloped gravel path. Most of the forummers point out that the guy is putting his mates' life at risk, bu the PRC forummer refuse to believe and he claims this is a PLA 'standard' and this 'standard' is more kilat................LOL!!!LOL!!!LOL!!!!LOL!!!
touchstone_2000 SG Neither of the above is particularly quiet. Some belief this is better. Or something much more authoratative at the expense of suppression.
