And always overlooked, understandably, the .5MG is also a last-ditch weapon against air targets.
So an overview of missile defence includes, AMM (anti-missile missile), chaff, 76mm, 20mm, 0.5". In my opinion it should be enough to ward off most missile attacks.
well, i doubt .5mg can be really counted as AA weapon lar... at least not anti-missile.... dont think it can engage fast enough to ht the missile.. unless it is a prop plane or smth..or a kite...
think that .5mg may be called more of as a gen purpose gun for shooting at random stuff that tries to kill you (smth like a small knife lar), but i wont trust a .5mg to stop the missile...

its true that if you put a battleship right next to the most advanced warship today, the battleship will blow it away, however, there is the issue of getting your battleship there... with regards to that, battleships are not really at home in today's naval environment, with the advent of more lethal and longer ranged weapons.
if you ask me, what i would prefer would be a navy based on larger ships (etc destroyers and lpds) supported by a base of smaller, "mosquito" vessels. having the ability to sting hard and disrupt the enemy. in my view, this can't be acheived by aircraft carriers or battleships for singapore, as they would be a huge drain on resources, and would be rather restricted in their operations, and rendered heavily vulenerable, due to the prescence of multiple chokepoints around us, losing one would mean we lose the whole war....
just my 2 cents worth of thoughts over the past 5 mins.

MLRS is solid-fueled right? so the time required to prep and launch would be minimal.... however doubt that our stuff would be in place and ready in a MLRS first-strike situation... however, in a second-strike (or further) situation, this arrangement might actually be viable.
oya, lionnoisy! can dun post so long posts? or alternertively just post the main points in front in a diff color or smth... rather confusing with your posts there...
note: im hideously "jealous" of lionnoisy- his topics always seem to generate more replies than me........ T.T ..sad thing is. i might be lying..lols.

currently, i face the following problems:
>my left arm is stronger than my right ( i tend to lean alot on to my left arm during pumping)
>right arm is thus considerably weaker
>probably as a result, unable to do chin-ups
>have a competition involving kayaking in 2 weeks. apparently it requires both arms to be strong
>how to train one arm specifically and in a short time?any tips?
