It is described as more reliable, accurate and ergonomic, and replaces the Singapore-made Ultimax 100 SAW.
SINGAPORE – By the end of July, all active units in the Singapore Army will be equipped with, and progressively trained on, the army’s newest light machine gun , said the Ministry of Defence on July 17.
The LMG has a multi-purpose laser aiming device, including a torchlight and infrared laser, to help soldiers in different combat scenarios, especially at night. It also has dual firing modes – semi-automatic and automatic. LMGs are infantry support weapons for a soldier to provide firepower so that a squad of soldiers can move or advance.
Other features of the gun include the Picatinny rail system, which allows easy attachment of gun accessories, and adjustable parts to make the gun more comfortable for users.
