Interesting choice of firearms brandished by this pair of Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) personnel at yesterday's Total Defence Day exhibition at the National Museum in Singapore. The sailor in the pixelised camouflage carries a Heckler & Koch MP-5K Personal Defence Weapon while the one in the fire retardant nomex suit is armed with a H&K 416 assault rifle (correct?).
The exhibition, which is free, ends on 23 February 2014.
Hi David, I believe the HK MP5 and MP5K have been in service with the RSN for quite a while, as is the HK 416. These were displayed by the NDU during last year's Navy display at VivoCity.

David,
ReplyDeleteDoes not look like a HK416.
Looks more like a FN SCAR
It's a 416.
ReplyDeleteAm sure it's the HK 416 11" A5 series.
ReplyDeleteThe red markings for Safe Single Auto on the rifle indicate that it is a HK.
ReplyDeleteBut the buttstock does not look like it is from HK. An aftermarket buttstock ?
Also lets one wonder why they dont use ST products.
Of course personnaly I wud go for an HK if I had a choice.
Likely because the 416 is well known for it's salt-water corrosion resistance and versatility:

sorry but they look a bit comical... help.
ReplyDeletethe MP5K and HK416 are modified, with the possible modifications listed below:
ReplyDeleteMP5K:
1. UMP folding stock instead of the sliding collapsible stock.
2. RIS (possible frm Knights Armament Company) replacing the standard flat hanguard.
3. Rail covers mounted on the 3 and 9 o'clock rails, whilst a foregrip is attached on the 6 o'clock rail.
HK416:
1. 10.5" barrel (D10RS) variant
2. 3 and 9 o'clock rail systems attached with rail covers
3. buttstock seems to be of 2nd-generation HK design rather than 1st generation found in M27 IAR and other HK416s
Regards.
Is the guy on the right katek Ayam or the guy on the left extra super tua chjiat?
ReplyDeleteWhy cannot standardize size, uniform or rifle ah?
Dear SipehKilat,
ReplyDeleteThe Star Wars universe has a clone army. The real world doesn't.
Our SAF servicemen and servicewomen come in all shapes, sizes and personalities but they share the same unbridled determination in achieving mission success.
The sailor happens to be of above average height.
Best regards,
David
