Bloody hell... and they conficated my M-4 for a SAR21.. :( I want my M-4 back!! lol :P
-
Haha are you AI? I guess as a door kicking grunt, you are deemed not good enough for the M-4.
These guys have some non-standard equipment. Their combat rig and water bottle pouch are US BDU woodland, probably cause our standard issue ones are not molle. The guy's camo scarf is also not no4 and not Marpat, it's some cheapo cloth.
-
lol, sorry, don't do doors. I got airforce slaves to do that for me :P (Probably because door vs me, door wins. lol ) The scarf is probably classed under personal items, you have to get it yourself, same as balaclavas and sniper veils, not sure about the rig though, they could have gotten it online? SF/(ADF?) guys have a certain amount of leeway in regards to their personal equipment.
-
I also wanted the M-4. But considered myself lucky to have the M-16.
Anyway I understand the M-16s were nearing end of serviceable life but your M-4 should have plenty of life remaining right?
-
Yeah the M-4 was still ok, they were going for logistical commonality I guess, but that didn't stop us from asking our brigade commander 1st in-camp back after the change:"What can the SAR do that our M-4 with scope can't? LAD? We have to shoot, we're screwed anyway." But I can see the easing of maintainance and parts logistics from the support side, and the SAR is passable as a weapon, easier sight picture, so it's 50/50 I guess, not to mention we can grab a gun or mag off a body in wartime and use it with some familiarity. Now if only we can teach those NSF not to oil the #$%&%* optical sights. Our fam shoot, one of my platoonmates was BOBO(WOWO for you oldtimers)-ing and we were wondering what happened, none of us are THAT bad shots. Found out someone oiled the sights with a very thin film of oil, parallex got thrown off. (And Sepecat said it can't happen, yeah...right...)
-
Wow your M-4 had scope? I previously heard from a Commando that even their M-4 had a fixed handle, no rails, with nothing on top. Sometimes they secure the LAD to the forward grip with black tape.
-
Btw the guy on the right, he definitely has something up his sleeve. Wrapped around his arm like an armband. Any guesses?
-
You mean the officer in the middle? Sorry, can't tell, angle wrong.
-
The guy on the right, can tell his sleeve is bulging.
-
Seriously can't tell lol. I see the buldge, looks like the size of our earplugs box, would be ironic if that was what it was, though I doubt it, hard to get to. One far out possibility, and this is extreme guesswork, is a field survival kit? Remember my E&E, part of the kit when working in foreign teritory is a written note in the native language asking for help (and SAF promise of reward) and some local currency. Maybe they put it there? But it's extreme speculation without more info. For all we know, it might be his GPS.
-
Yeah, I agree with you it's probably an emergency thing that they carry even if they ditch their combat load. But it's a really strange and inaccessible place to keep something.
Either that or it's a secret thing.
-
It's our top secret pocket thermo-nuke. :P
-
Could be pop tarts and other non-standard treats, or an ipod with earphones under his camo scarf.
-
lol so true. I had a friend who deployed with a walkman. Don't blame him, it IS hurry up and wait.
-
Or someone stole the whole unit's pineapple tarts. If they end up melted he can kill himself.

ear plugs box????which army were u from?and who are you?
from my guess u are trying to impersonate a sporean like a malaysian dude that comes in here yakking military stuff even though he hasnt done ns in his own life.
u must get the kicks by pretending to be someone u are not!

only pineapplle here would be the one thats sitting on your head believing he has even fired a m4 in his life..why dont u ask underpaid detailed questions about his army surroundings etc which cant be found on the websites easily... -

do u realise underpaid has never posted a single post under commando/ ndu etc???probably afraid he would be revealed as a fake who read someones thrown away notes to watching too much war movies !:) -
Troll is troll. Singapore's M-4 has a 2 point stock extension, the pic you see above is the unextended mode, short and handy, to extend it, you press the back of the half-Y shape on the bottom of the stock and pull. The Y is actually a lever on a pivot, pressing the back pulls the locking pin out of the 1st lock hole, and once you pull it back and let go, it springs back into the 2nd lock hole at the back. Surroundings... hmm... Try this one: The exit from the midpoint of the ghostwalk training building in Hendon camp is above head level. They'll leave an ammo crate there for a reason. :P In your face Missman Chiobu, you remind me of a chiwawa barking at a St Bernard. Now go away before I squash you with one paw.

did u get that info from a diary of a dead commando?paws would taste great when boiled slowly together with squash.

lemme do the questioning:
