Wah didnt know that SAF carried Car-15 too!

Vietnam-era weapons, but still extremely reliable.

​@@aliasgar4673they still do.

@@ArmyK9 Vietnam-era M16s are not reliable at all!

Just so you know Singapore's first standard issue rifle was the British SLR.

Aussie boy hi there

Was in shock when issued M16 in unit during 2018-19. Night shoots were a nightmare with it compared to SAR21.

What you said was easy. The worse is trying to lock the bolt to the rear to clear double feed while in prone! Awkward and super bad ergonomics as fuck. SAR-21's weapon manipulation and ergonomics is the worse in the world.

You remember LAW and 84mm ?

@@kwangfeilui9704 I fired matador, LAW was before my time , was supposed to be in the 84mm but was phased out during my ICT. I enlisted 2002 , finished ICT in 2018

What about Glock, MP5 and P90? I saw some SAF personals firing it in other videos on YT.

@@bhchen3079 Haha I've fired the SAR21, M203, Ultimax 100, GPMG, Matador, CIS 50, 40mm AGL, 25 mm bushmaster chaingun 30 mm bushmaster chaingun, threw Hand grenade and smoke grenade, Bangalore torpedo, claymore. Guess what vocation I'm from? Only 1 vocation in the Army trained in so many weapons.

Those are parade rifle. Lee Enfield is a WW1 rifle!

That would be an M16 lower with a AR15 upper. ;)

@@lyricaldistributionsupport3280Or also could be a Colt 604 from old USAF inventory.

@@lyricaldistributionsupport3280 It's the original M16. The original doesn't have the forward assist.

The SAR-80/88 was a PITA and quickly relegated to minimal service support units. Only saw very few of them in use.

Totally agree. SAR was a piece of crap.

Why?

@@tanhy1522 I prefer the m16 or AR too, it is much lighter and more balanced

@@lyricaldistributionsupport3280 Agree SAR-21 is shit. So heavy and bad weapon manipulation and ergonomics. Trigger is shitty as hell.

@@marktay7913 Agree SAR-21 is shit. So heavy and bad weapon manipulation and ergonomics. Trigger is shitty as hell.

yeah but they use the more modern a4 variant

that their problem ah sia

It all depends on what you want out of the function check. Weapon on safe Pull the trigger, hold Weapon should not fire Weapon on semi Pull the trigger hold Should hear a click Charge the weapon without releasing the trigger Release the trigger, should hear a clunk Weapon on Burst Pull the trigger, hold Charge the weapon three times without releasing the trigger Release the trigger, should hear a clunk is what USMC taught me on M16A4 (which has burst instead of auto). I don't know what the Singaporeans would do, anyways we never timed function checks, we did those carefully. When we time assemblies/disassemblies for fun we don't do function checks as part of the time. No idea what the SAR-21 function check is like but either way, it should be pretty similar. I think the man just kinda forgot a bit after all those years.

@@superfamilyallosauridae6505 For us the SAR21 assembly the fuction check is included in the time for how we are trained, I nvr trained on the M16 in the army tho i have shot a A2

I see, fascinating. I love the whimsical little differences between how militaries do things@@bryanloh7355

not the old 1 as shown in the video.... You need 2 fingers for this version.

A lot of documents to change the whole rifle system.

Agree

@@SmallCatHimself M4 is closer to the M16. SAR-21 is a complete new weapon system. Should have switched to M4 instead of developing the SAR-21. Now armies who are using bullpups are reverting back to conventional style. Bull-pups are falling out of favour.

Exactly, the length of pull is too long. The people who designed this weapon are obviously civilians without military experience. They never account for the thickness of the LBV and when shouldered over the LBV, the length of pull is too long. You're right about reloading. It's the worse to reload when in prone position. The gun so heavy and the length of pull is so long. You have to hold up the whole rifle with 1 hand when reloading in the prone position.

the soldier who had used it was unable to appear for the video

​@@yiming99 lol. Spicy memes.

Where got use thumb one? Just index and your middle finger. You got use before or not?

M16 takes longer to strip + Encik too long never strip liao mah.

What cock you talking?

A weapon is deadly if the user knows how to operate and maintains it well , it doesn't matter if it's a WW2 rifle or an advanced rifle

BR-18

@@bhchen3079 ok you use a bolt action iron sights to for UO

Since M16S1 is part of the AR-15 family. The Singaporean Army can purchase a bunch of M4 or any other flat top upper receiver and replace the butt stock with a collapsible one. I don't know about you, but I don't hold the M4 as the pinnacle of AR-15. That title belongs to HK-416, LMT MARS-L and Canadian C7/C8

@@rizaradri316 HK416 causes tons and tons and tons of problems. MARS-L is quite nice, and the monolithic Colt Canada C8s are quite nice. I can go into more detail on the hK416 if you want, but in USMC that weapon causes nothing but trouble, it's heavier than all its competitors. It only became popular because it was one of the very first free floated fully railed rifles available. M27s entered USMC service at like 650rpm on full auto M27s and M38s, now, have a 1400rpm rate of fire when suppressed and using the service ammo (M855A1), weigh as much as XM7, and are mathematically proven to be the least reliable rifle ever fielded by the US Marine Corps, with a mean rounds between failure of 40ish in the M38 tests. That's a failure in every mag! I can find videos on youtube, like six of them, of suppressed M27s misfiring, and when charged they spit out an unfired live round and just kinda start working again. Totally unacceptable. A bizarre weapon that is almost perfect in vague details but, in specifics, is terrible.
