True, but the government's acknowledgement of that would be tantamount to an implicit admission that their "Speak Mandarin" campaigns through the years have been utter and dismal failures.And the SG government, as we know, never does wrong!
I think it's a skill .... a good workout for the brain .... to pick up another language, any language ....

too much info ! ...
You want more info I can give....this gun can load 78 rounds in one go on the revolving feed magazine.
You can feed the rounds up to the gun mount such that 4 will be in the loader drum, 6 in the screw feeder hoist (transfer station).
And then you can load another 10 rounds into the magazine. The total now would be 88!
If you press "fire" with the round still in the RFM, it takes 5 seconds. From the transfer station, 2.5 seconds, from the last station (loader drum), 0.5 seconds.
Happy?

Dunno what happened to him.But thanks to that, the RPs, MPs at my side kena f-ed upside down, and they "upp-ed" the security checks. I say "upp-ed" because a lot of people are still sneaking camera handphones in.

All this, of course, assuming that the Windows-based OS of the computer controlling the FCS doesn't crash.

7 years for Thunderflash, plus court martial after that.
Wow....Dave's life was ruined by a assault rifle, this one by a thunderflash.

This one is fully mechanical. The computer is there only to tell us where the rounds are and the status of the gun. That's how it aids us. Previously, on the old one I trained on, it took guess-works and some cryptic messages to figure that out. -
