Malaysian Army M4 Carbine Holistic Review

http://home.comcast.net/~shooter2_indy/m4.html

Caliber - 5.56mm NATO (.223 Rem)
Capacity - 20 or 30-round magazines
Action - Gas-operated semi-automatic
Barrel - 16 inches
Weight - 8.32 lbs. w/ empty magazine

Performance
The rebuilt M4 received its baptism by fire at the DETC Carbine I/II Course in Racine, WI. The new upper had about 200 rounds on it going in, and I fired another 650 or so through it during the course. The gun had been cleaned and lubricated prior to the start of class, but received no further cleaning or maintenance during the entire two days of shooting. It performed admirably; reliability was 100% – save for a misfeed caused by a faulty magazine which was quickly identified and discarded - and it proved accurate enough to hit torso-sized steel plates out to 300 yards!

The Bottom Line
I like the M4 pattern carbines. They're somewhat of a fashion statement in the world of AR's, but they are also eminently practical. I appreciate the lighter weight and quick pointing characteristics of the M4-profile barrel, and the VLTOR stock is sturdier and more comfortable than the standard fixed or collapsible stocks. The flat-top upper and rail system forearm provide improved cooling and give a multitude of optics and accessory mounting options, though I prefer to keep mine relatively uncluttered. Maneuverable and handy, but still accurate and hard-hitting - the M4 is equally well suited to the needs of Special Forces personnel and armed citizens!

Malaysia Armed Forces Unleashed High Energy Laser/Electro Optical Mission (HELLO MISS)

I will be resting for a while. Demam..flu and fever.

RMAF C-130 Installed with HELLO MISS

Putrajaya — The military is inching closer to using laser weapons on the battlefield after recent tests in which lasers were used to shoot down a drone aircraft and were fired from an airplane to damage a vehicle on the ground.

Royal Malaysian Airforce recently test-fired its Advanced Chemical Laser from a C-130 Hercules, vapourising an old Panhard APC in Gong Kedak Testing Facilities. And last month the Army and Air Force teamed with CTRM Sdn Bhd for a demonstration in which lasers on the ground shot down drones at Putrajaya Lake, Putrajaya company officials said. "everyone thought it was a light show... but its not.. the drone were vapourise into dust.."

Laser weapon projects in the works include the Army attempt in creating a smaller tactical laser which the sucessfully installed ontop of a PT-91M MBT.

“The technology is there,” said Pendekar Sudin, senior research engineer at the Army’s Program Executive Office Missiles and Space in Kajang Selangor.

“What we need to do is get the systems put into more rugged configurations so that we could have a Laser Tank that can beat the crap of any MBT in this world.”

One of the reasons the Army is interested in lasers is because lasers travel at the speed of light, which means such systems have a quick reaction time, Sudin said.

"..the enemy won't even have time to utter the word 'Pisang'.... he only manage to say 'pis...' then he died"

Some laser weapons the Army is working on could be ready in as little as six months, but fielding those weapons would take longer due to procurement and production processes, Sudin said. The HELL TD could take two or three years to put together, he said.

Ibrahim Pendek, CTRM program director for High Energy Laser/Electro Optical Mission for Directed Energy Systems, described HEL TD as a “tracked mobile laser cannon” with a range of eight to 10 kilometers.

Air Force officials declined to be interviewed for this story.

Malaysia has spent RM 230 million on HELLO MISS research since 2000, and hopes to develop such a weapon to destroy anything a release said. Other uses mentioned include taking out smaller ships, including pirate skiffs.

“It just burn you into a fine tiny nano dust, as much as a lot of other offensive weapons would, which is one of its advantages and disadvantages,” Usop Sontor said.
