That is not true. Severe cases of sweaty palms might get excuse from grenade throwing but i've never heard of any excuse firearms due to sweaty palms.
how serious is your sweaty palms?
have to be very serious then can excuse firearms u know?
no such thing at all... even if got, it's just a declaration needed prior to any grenade activity. then the officer/encik would see if the person still can carry out the action, or to excuse him. but in the event he still throws, commanders will exercise extra caution.
this is a myth not the truth

Cheers.
Seriously why want to get excuse from firearms.....if cannot shoot in the NS, then might as well try to get downgrade to Pes E....
If i was your officer, i'd just make you wear gloves.

thats what ts n most people nowadays want isnt it ..
more n more excuse.
no you will not be excused rifle.
it may be likely that a grenade might slip out of ur hand due to sweaty palm. and it is potentially dangerousfor yourself and others.
but it is unlikely for a rifle to slip off, since u carry with both hands, with a safety catch, plus a rifle sling. so u r still fit to bear firearms
Just wondering if sweaty palm a medical condition for foreign armies?
At the most, your chances of getting marksman is reduced.

even that is unlikely. I know quite a few examples of sweaty palms who have marksman. the only way it can affect shooting is if you are sweating buckets.
I disagree. It would depend on the rifle you are using.
