Proper use of the Condom in the SAF
-
I keep hearing about using condoms to somehow waterproof the weapon during water-borne ops. Now that doesn't sound logical to me because even with the barrel covered, water can still get into the weapon. When i did river crossing, non of us bothered to use protection; we just slung our rifle and swam.
So my qn is what is/how do you properly use the condom in the context of water-borne ops? Also, the barrel of 5.56mm rifles is clearly too thin to ensure a proper fit. So are rubber bands used to secure the condom? Or Is the use of the condom just a myth? -
use those wrap food plastic sheets lor

guess u haven't been posted to overseas for exercise or training before right?
-
I have. Taiwan and Brunei. And nope, haven't used the condom (on a rifle i mean). I'm guessing the condom is used more to keep dust out of the rifle? But then i keep hearing about the use of condoms to prevent water from getting into the barrel.

i think using condom to cover the barrel is NONSENSE..
cuz anyone who is in unit esp. infantry who did river ops, river crossing etc, will know water WILL get into the rifle mainly through the bolt carrier cover and the center part of the M16. Anyway it doesnt matter EVEN if your rifle is soaked with water, cuz it still shoots and works.
Our rifle is based on the percussion cap explosive technology not the last time POWDER and igniting type. Well, sometimes too much rush may cuz rifle to jam and chamber explosion, etc.
But using condom to water proof the rifle is CRAP!... -
I sorta agree with you.
However, i can see the value of the condom as an imporvised barrel cap when operating in muddy+swampy or dusty terrain (like iraq). -
negative. To share with you all youngsters, here goes:Originally posted by lwflee:Manager, did you happen to go to taiwan in 2002. I remember a very hum sap reservist grinning all the time he was on the RnR bus...
1994 went to ROC as NSF. Advance party somemore. Winter somemore. Cold like fuck. Confirm at that time already had 'call gals' following SAF troops ( your eyes must be sharp to findout ). These gals fetched around by their OKT, hint ( Black Honda Accord ).
1996 went to ROC for the 2nd time but this time as NSmen aka Reservist. That year and month also the same time PRC shooting missile over. ( Or was it 1998? ).
1998 went to ROC for the 3rd time and while R&R in the hotel hugging my team mate sleeping ( joking lah ), hotel shake shake! Earth Quake! Famous and hot news in ROC that time. But not sure over in Sg news got report or not but what the heck, continue sleeping lah.
2002 suppose to go ROC but cancel due to major parts of areas SAF deployed heavily damaged by earthquake sometime back, the famous 928 earthquake. ( correct number or not? ).
2004 step down as I completed my last ICT.
2005 waiting for my first ever B.I.T
Any SAF trooper who went to ROC sure turn into a super Hum-Sap becos of culture shock. Way back in 1994 you still can find tiger show stage at the road side! No joke. -
talking about ninja vans/pickup/lorry, I remembered 1994 while driving down a narrow and busy road, this van comes side by side so close to my door and the dancing babes call out to me and one of them pull down her dress showing her neh neh to me! OmFg, I see untill almost bang at the front tonnerOriginally posted by TVaddict:tt time got mobile girls meh? now only see the mobile vans aka ninja vans following the troops... -
