im really getting alot of halfdays at oeti recently, today again..reason being we went for a site visit to st kinetics ode, in jurong industrial estate..damn..all the times i passed by tt place in the past, and i din even noe tt its the very place where singapore makes all its guns and military hardware!!
anyway, i finally finished with my last practical on the 120mm mortar today morn, and after lunch, off we went to stk. well, it was definitely an eye opening experience. there was this wonderfully done up gallery with all of stk's weapons and joint projects with foreign ordnance companies, followed by a short viewing of some weapon ads, some of which were damn corny.
went to the live range for a test fire of the sar21 afterwards, which i think was quite exciting to some of my platoonmates who nv touched a live weapon before, let alone fire one..best part was we got to see the other variations of the sar21, with p-rail mounts and red dot sights, shortened barrels etc..the stuff of spec ops, heh..final part of the visit was to the plant to see how the sar21 was made..gawd..the way the aunties at the assembly line put together the various mechanisms and components of the weapon really made all of us feel like a whole lot of idiots..hah.
