Raiza you just graduated outta CQC? Congrats!
I was with Ace when they did their Company Block Live Firing. Some time in June if I remember correctly... Take whatever he said about the heat and multiply it x10!
Those Ace troopers were really chinstrapped by the time they started setting the charges... I had to help em dig the hole for the land-flame mine when the RSM wasn't looking!

Was at Changi airport a few nights ago, on the way back to the UK. Saw 3 policemen with the US SWAT type tactical jacket, the one with the silver rings/ holes all over the back.
Is this just a LBV or it has some ballistic protection? -
whats CQC and LBV?

i doubt the armor can protect the wearer from .50 cal bullets

Thank God... phew... I can see what is the medical problem you are suffering from...Originally posted by ceecookie:just to tell you, due to my medical problem i should be extempted from the NS service and mauybe do some stupid office work... -
Think of it as a long kick in the nuts... At the end of which ADF troopers are supposedly able to know enough to join the regular companies without tripping over their own feet.
In practice... Like in so many other schools and courses, some critical lessons are only taught once, then trainees are given ONE chance to try it out in the field, and that one time trying it out in the field is ALSO an assesment.
But make no mistake, despite its shortcomings, CQC is tough! Hell, I should know... I was a trainee under Master Ross, when he was still a Staff, over at 3 Guards... And I fully understand the problems that the training cadre face; it's not easy getting the troopers fully up to spec in less than .
Oh and to know what BPV is... look at the thread title!

Don't talk about bullet proof vest siahz...I give you ballistic shield also nt enough to protect you from .50cal lahz...Think about it,people can use .50cal to take out vehicle engine blocks,can penetrate through some light armoured vehicles...the bullet vest armour no matter how many plate you put in also not as strong as the armoured vehicle's armour lor...

its not what u think...ask renorenal what the problem is...Originally posted by GargoyleR:Thank God... phew... I can see what is the medical problem you are suffering from...
and by the way is the Singapore Army using M107 or M82?
its quite good...being able to penetrade 1 mertre of concrete and can knock through multiple ppl at once..with a range of 1500m -
The Barrett M82 is not the most accurate rifle out there. It's not meant as a sniper rifle, it's meant as an anti-materiel rifle. As of now, the SAF is still using the Steyr SSG. They were evaluating some others for the long overdue replacement of the Steyr...
Beyond that, like what the rifles that were evaluated were, the results of the evaluation and the time-line of the phasing in of the new sniper rifle... I can't tell you. Suffice to say that it's still the same calibre and will NOT be appearing anytime soon in most brigades. -
its not for anti-personnel useOriginally posted by ceecookie:its not what u think...ask renorenal what the problem is...
