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

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.Originally posted by SpecOps87:HUH?!!Sure anot,Army Open House 2002 I got go,every dae it opens,I go.But den nv get to see no FN P90 lorz.Only see te usual stuff.And besides,any idea has the FN P90 been liscensed to Made In Singapore yet?

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.

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.Originally posted by NathanG5: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?

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

so wat are the problem?Originally posted by dlte:There are some problem with the P90..... prefer the MP7. -
There exists photos of a combined arms exercise last year (air/sea assault on Sudong) and in some of the pics it clearly shows commandos going ashore in silenced P90s
-
O, I remember seeing it now, and I have been berrating the SAF for not getting the P90 which is my favourite assault rifle. So, I guess that from the P90, they could have come up with the SAR-21 - just guessing....
