The MG used in the video is of German origin...wonder how it is compared to our MG from Belgium? Any one used it before or have info on it?
-
Their MBT looks solid compared to our AMX-13

I think MG is all most or less the same la......Originally posted by tankee1981:The MG used in the video is of German origin...wonder how it is compared to our MG from Belgium? Any one used it before or have info on it? -
The standard GPMG of the Swedish Army is indeed Ksp. 58, which is, essentially, the license produced version of Farbique Nationale(FN) MAG, while the MG3s as seen in the video (can't recall the Swedish designation) was received as the "package deal" along with the Leo 2s, if the memory serves me right.Originally posted by tankee1981:The MG used in the video is of German origin...wonder how it is compared to our MG from Belgium?

It does appears to me from the clip that the rate of fire from this MG is higher as compared to the one SAF is using but i am not sure. Anyone have the specs? Thanks
ps: I wonder how the Swedish environmentalists will have to say when they see how their MBTs knock down trees in their training area! -
Our MBT is AMX-13?? I tot was the centurion or something, the AMX was light tank.Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:Their MBT looks solid compared to our AMX-13 -
have u seen ours? if u have, u won't say that.Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:Their MBT looks solid compared to our AMX-13 -
Yup I have heard about a number of 'other MBTs' in SAF service besides our Centurion MBTs.Originally posted by saline:have u seen ours? if u have, u won't say that.
But I won't risk getting myself in trouble for revealing it here... For some of us to know and for others to find out...

BTW, I just found out the Swedish desgination of MG3 is Ksp-94.
The latest variant of Ksp-58 is Ksp-58DF:
The new modifications include:- A new and shorter flash suppressor, in order to reduce the length of the weapon.
- 10cm shorter barrel, in order to shorten the weapon and reduce the weight.
- Cutouts along the barrel(fluting) in order to reduce the weight and increase its heat emitting capabilities.
- A new gas regulator - reduced to four positions is made at half of the trail weapons. The last position is painted red and is intended for "emergencies".
- The carrying handle is shortened to half its original length, in order to increase the space to the benefit of added sightsystems.
- A MilStd 1913 "Picatinny Rail" is added. Half of the weapons has a adjustable rail - the others a fixed.
- During the trails the weapons are equiped with a Aimpoint red dot sight (the same as used by the AK-4B).
- The trigger group is marked with the weapons serial number.
- The safety levers positios S and E have been colored.
- A retractable buttstock has been added and half of the trail weapon also have gotten a butt rest.
- Half of the trail weapons are painted black, the other half is painted green.

I am a bit impressed that the foreign conscript( in our terms NSF) soldiers are allowed to carry their weapons and go shopping! Swiss soldiers are even allowed to keep their weapons at home and they have been doing this even before WW2! I am not so sure about the Isareli soldiers, but i think they are allowed to do the same as well. I supposed that i won't be seeing this happening in Singapore any time soon, imagine the look on the taxi uncle's face when you carry a M16S1/SAR-21 in FBO when you book out on weekends!
ps Our newer tank is as good or in some sense better than the Swedish ones! Just hoping they will finally reveal the older ones during NDP since our Malaysian counterparts have already showcase their much newer PT-91. -
Most European countries allow their soldiers to bring their weapons home. This could be because most of these countries have hunting seasons and thus their populations would most likely have weapons anyway.Originally posted by tankee1981:I am a bit impressed that the foreign conscript( in our terms NSF) soldiers are allowed to carry their weapons and go shopping!

Not quite.......Originally posted by |-|05|:Most European countries allow their soldiers to bring their weapons home. This could be because most of these countries have hunting seasons and thus their populations would most likely have weapons anyway.
Sweden ==> only homeguard ( 40'000) can keep their weapons at home.
Switzerland ==> every soldier keeps his SIG550 at home and after leaving the military gets to keep his weapon.
In Denmark, the national guardsmen can keep their weapons at home, aswell.
One should remember that neutral nations like Sweden and Switzerland have no allies at all, they must mobilize to defend themselves as quickly as possible. -
Norway get's to keep theirs also dont they?Originally posted by Polyshot:Not quite.......

The Norwegian home guard used to keep their AG3(H&K G3)'s at home too, but the end of the cold war ends of the need for quick mobilization and some Home Guards' AG3 were used in criminal and the like, has made the military decided to recall them and\or makes the Home Guards to surrender the firing pin and keep the scrap metal that remains. (But AG3's firing pins can be bought over the internet, so it's strictly politics.)Originally posted by |-|05|:Norway get's to keep theirs also dont they? -
Ahhh ok thx for clearing that up.Originally posted by Polyshot:The Norwegian home guard used to keep their AG3(H&K G3)'s at home too, but the end of the cold war ends of the need for quick mobilization and some Home Guards' AG3 were used in criminal and the like, has made the military decided to recall them and\or makes the Home Guards to surrender the firing pin and keep the scrap metal that remains.
