Guys,anyone see P90 in SAF service?Since when?Read that e 1st exercise of the year they[commandoes] use P90.But den,ain't it weird since P90 is 5.7mm,SAF must get a seperate ammunition for it right?

Please help,thanx.Real interested in this.

It’s not really the commandoes that are using such weapons… this group belongs to the special ops forces…..

Also,shud P90 be considered as a Rifle or SMG?Cuz the round it uses is actually quite similar to rifle rounds.And its been rated to be able to penetrate the standard PAGST II helmet.Help me out man.

There was one strapped onto the mannequin rigged for freefall during the press day. There wasn't any signboard explaining what it was but I guess those of us who know what a P90 is will know one when we see one. The P90 was just slung onto the model.

That's why it was mentioned in the biz times article but after the article appeared they changed the weapon during the actual Open House. That's why you didn't see it. Evil or Very Mad

*sigh*

NathanG5 SG

i remember..izit during 2001 NDP there was this abseiling show done by the Spec Ops guys..one of the guy was carrying a P90 rite?

SpecOps87 SG

ChineseJunk SG

Correct. I believe ST published a photo on Aug 10 but that picture was taken during one of the rehearsals. I missed that demo because I was in the carpark stalking the medevac chopper + assorted SAF vehicles.

*sigh again*

NathanG5 SG

btw..i miss it too...was with the GOH..think we were abt to march in..

There are some problem with the P90..... prefer the MP7.
