    • Anyone heard of it? It’s for special forces but I would really trade my SAR21 for it in any battle.

      In our battlefield, I will rather use a weapon i was trained to use than one that I'm not, Furthermore, most of our combat will be at Jungle if not Urban. A sniper rifle isnt as easy to use as it seems, or else sniper wouldn't be consider elite

      did anyone tell anyone that it weighs 20over pounds...

      i'd rather have a soldier carry a gpmg than this..

      Singapore is semi-urban, so I may prefer this weapon over my SAR 21 and my accuracy isn't half-bad. I also like the armour-piercing rounds that come with it.

    • very good sniper rifle...but good for snipers only.

      I wouldn't trade my SAR-21 for this....needed full auto and short, tactical weapon...good for 400m enuff already, no need 800m/1.2k sniper rifle.

      If the opposition is carrying a draganov and my fireteam is just carrying SAW, GPMG and SAR 21s, I would suggest opening up a place for a squad sharpshooter with semi-auto sniping rifle.

      ask the anti tank to fire a AT missle over lar. Furthermore Dragnov isnt that accurate. iirc i saw a vid of how a US Marine gt pinned down inside a rooftop they use the AT4 and M203 to clear the Sniper. i will post the link once i found the video again Very Happy

    • Why would you trade an infantry battle rifle for sniper rifle? Its not as if a sniper rifle is one where anybody can pick up and use with proficiency anyway.

      SAR 21 and this AS50 is not exactly a one for one trade.

      2 things:
      My fireteam is always a target-practice on the field unless it has a counter sniper element. AS50 can be a designated light armour killer element without wasting a LAW. Technically, I am the sharpshooter of my fireteam and I like long-range minimal recoil semi-auto weapons.

      Wah.. now SAF got this term "fireteam" liao ah? I must be damn out of touch!

      A weapon like that can take out the engine block of light vehicles well. But I'm not sure I'd handle Light Armored Vehicles like M113s.

      Nonono. Same as you-it was sections. But for ranger course, divided into "squads", pretty close to the concept of a fireteam, I think. (never had fireteam then)
