I've seen both the SIG P226 and FN90 and handled the SIG P226.The rest, haven't had the opportunity yet.Include the H&K USP .40 caliber.We do have it.

There are some other which I can not get the pic.

eh are there really ak-47 in singapore ?? heard from my fren it makes no sense to import them .. the main advantage of ak-47 is its cheapness .. but as importing them would cause quite a bit of money ....Originally posted by Joshua1975:There are some other which I can not get the pic.

Topic say 'some of us' and it 47 and not 74... just to make clear.Originally posted by BeEtHoVeN:eh are there really ak-47 in singapore ?? heard from my fren it makes no sense to import them .. the main advantage of ak-47 is its cheapness .. but as importing them would cause quite a bit of money .... -
We use all of them, not in real life, but in computer games, like Counter-strike, Battlefield Vietnam, Desert Combat, Black Hawk Down.
Yes, AK-47 is cheap and deadly. It is cheap due to weak Russian Roubles, it is expensive due to stringent laws on the import of firearms.. -
the ak is good as an auxillary weapon on top of your main rifle. it's reliable and packs quite a punch. but if we were to wage a war with our neighbour (God forbid), i think we'd be seeing steyrs instead of aks..

wat you talking? -
AK has been proven to be the most reliable assault rifle. It has been tested by numbers of ways and one of it was to dip into a mud pool and bring up put to firing without a IA.

i mean, let's say you were to conduct ops anywhere.. aside from your MAIN rifle( in this case, the sar-21, m-16 or m4) you could use an ak 'taken off the street' as your first weapon used in any engagement.

oic take from street, it not aux weaponOriginally posted by palmerised:i mean, let's say you were to conduct ops anywhere.. aside from your MAIN rifle( in this case, the sar-21, m-16 or m4) you could use an ak 'taken off the street' as your first weapon used in any engagement.

Ya, AK off the street also no need to zero one... Bound to miss under 100m anyways. LOL
-
AK was never big on accuracy to begin with... but does anyone realise that even if u picked an AK off the streets, how are u gonna find 7.62 "shorts" when everyone else is using 5.56 ???
-
off dead bodies.. well that's what operators in OIF and OEF did, particularly in OEF..

Maybe we should separate the men from the boys stuck on level 19 of games like Counter-strike, Battlefield Vietnam, Desert Combat, or Black Hawk etc.Originally posted by fkh:We use all of them, not in real life, but in computer games, like Counter-strike, Battlefield Vietnam, Desert Combat, Black Hawk Down.

anyway
RULE 1
NEVER pick up a weapon "off the street" to use. (i) it could be booby trapped, either by pressure release trigger device or modified for round to explode in the chamber, (ii) you may not be able to operate the weapon safely without familization (why we may import samples for certain ppl).
RULE 2
more importantly no ammo. Even if the AK47 is 7.62, it is not the same as the NATO round use for GPMG.
What you may need to update is that the AK-47 has been superceeded by the 5.45mm AK-74 which is less common in these parts of the world. Another post is right to say that we should think in terms of Styer and FN. etc. -

right... pick ammo off dead bodies... indeed...Originally posted by palmerised:well you do have a point..
scenario:
wow cool... got myself an AK... now lets just turn these stiffs over so i can reach their front ammo pouch...
oops! its booby trapped with a gre- *BOOM* ... -
erm, i have this tendency to pick up aggressor weapons to use during my TOD in battalion side. Guess it is just a nature of my trg
. Then u will have those aggressors whining that it is illegal to use their wpns 
Definitely the weapons might be booby trapped, but if it is not. it will always be good to have an extra weapon ard in combat.

disregard my entry..

actually if i not wrong there is AK-47, AKS-74U, PKM machine guns and other Eastern Bloc weapons in SOF armouries. During the Cold War period our Special Forces are familliarised with weapons cause the main threat during that period was Vietnam with its direct line of arms supply from China or Russia. There was also this old poster of the Commandos with a small picture of a trooper with an AKS-74, i think its the one with the HALO parachutist.
-
ummm...actually not quite true. the AK 47 can actually fire NATO round, but it has to be chambered individually by the soldier, without the magazine. thus, the shooter has to pull back the bolt, chamber a NATO 7.62 round, and then fire it, after which he has to pull back the bolt again to extract the cartridge and rechamber another round....its more for survival should a soldier run outta ammo....Originally posted by baer:Maybe we should separate the men from the boys stuck on level 19 of games like Counter-strike, Battlefield Vietnam, Desert Combat, or Black Hawk etc.

its all part of how the soviets build their weapons....typically tailored towards utilizing captured NATO ammo stocks if there was ever a WWIII. so even their MIGs and SUs have nozzle adaptors that can accept NATO-sized fuel nozzles should they overrun NATO airbases. Another example is the 82mm mortar that can fire U.S. 81mm rounds, but not the other way around.....widely done during the Vietnam war. -
I don't know... but won't you get shot by your own people if they see someone carryin an enemy's gun...

nah it's not cheap becuz of the way it's made.....it's made with cheap engineering processes....and the reason you dont gotta zero it is well..it's made so cheaply the sight aint worth nuts anyway ahah u zero also no useOriginally posted by fkh:We use all of them, not in real life, but in computer games, like Counter-strike, Battlefield Vietnam, Desert Combat, Black Hawk Down.

The AK is actually the Chinese version. Saw it at a unit exhibition.
