Singapore Country Report
SALW Guide Global distribution and visual identification Singapore Country report https://salw-guide.bicc.de Weapons Distribution SALW Guide Weapons Distribution The following list shows the weapons which can be found in Singapore and whether there is data on who holds these weapons: AR 15 (M16/M4) G HK MP5 G Browning M 2 G IGLA (SA-16 / SA-18) G Carl Gustav recoilless rifle G Lee-Enfield SMLE G Daewoo K1 / K2 G M203 grenade launcher G FN FAL G Remington 870P G FN Herstal FN MAG G RPG 7 G Sterling MP L2A3 FN High Power U G FN P90 G Explanation of symbols Country of origin Licensed production Production without a licence G Government: Sources indicate that this type of weapon is held by Governmental agencies. N Non-Government: Sources indicate that this type of weapon is held by non-Governmental armed groups. U Unspecified: Sources indicate that this type of weapon is found in the country, but do not specify whether it is held by Governmental agencies or non-Governmental armed groups. It is entirely possible to have a combination of tags beside each country. For example, if country X is tagged with a G and a U, it means that at least one source of data identifies Governmental agencies as holders of weapon type Y, and at least one other source confirms the presence of the weapon in country X without specifying who holds it. Note: This application is a living, non-comprehensive database, relying to a great extent on active contributions (provision and/or validation of data and information) by either SALW experts from the military and international renowned think tanks or by national and regional focal points of small arms control entities. -
Removal of Stock Parts (Impingement System)
Removal of Stock Parts (Impingement System): 1. Remove the upper receiver from the lower receiver. 2. Remove the bolt carrier and charging handle from the receiver. 3. Remove the bolt from the carrier. 4. Remove the gas rings from the bolt using a thin flat edge. Set the bolt and bolt carrier aside for later installation steps. 5. Remove the top and bottom handguards from the barrel by pulling back on the delta ring and pulling the handguards apart. If you don’t have standard handguards, remove any handguard(s) that might be on the rifle. 6. Use a 3/4” wrench to remove the flash suppresser or muzzle break along with the crush washer from the barrel. 7. Use a 1/8” hardened punch and a hammer to drive out the front sight pins that hold the sight assembly in place. Some rifles will have tapered pins. Check both sides of the pins to determine if one side is larger than the other and drive out from the side that is the smallest. Once both pins are removed, remove the sight assembly/gas block and gas tube from the barrel by slightly twisting the assembly from side to side as you pull it forward off the barrel. You can use a soft mallet (e.g. rubber, plastic, or brass) to tap the assembly off, if needed. 8. Remove the stock front handguard cap from the barrel Installation of Adams Arms Retrofit Piston System Components 1. Installation of Receiver Bushing: Install the flash suppressor onto the barrel by hand tightening it to protect the barrel threads during this step. -

International Military Cartridge Rifles and Bayonets
INTERNATIONAL MILITARY CARTRIDGE RIFLES AND BAYONETS The following table lists the most common international military rifles, their chambering, along with the most common bayonet types used with each. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. A Note Regarding Nomenclature: The blade configuration is listed, in parentheses, following the type. There is no precise dividing line between what blade length constitutes a knife bayonet vs. a sword bayonet. Blades 10-inches or shorter are typically considered knife bayonets. Blades over 12-inches are typically considered sword bayonets. Within the 10-12 inch range, terms are not consistently applied. For purposes of this chart, I have designated any blade over 12 inches as a sword bayonet.

John Charles Leighton Department of MIVMVI3 The University of British Columbia 1956 Main Mall Vancouver, Canada V6T 1Y3 Date DE-6 (.3/81) - i i - ABSTRACT Despite the availability of established, sophisticated methods for plan• ning and designing stable slopes in rock, comparatively little attention is usually paid to the problems of carrying out the excavation. Blasting should be carefully planned to obtain optimum fragmentation as well as steep, stable pit walls for a minimum stripping ratio. The principal difficulty facing a blast designer is the lack of prior information about the many critical blasting characteristics of the rock mass. -

International Traffic in Arms Regulations As of April 15, 2021 Page 2 of 246 How to Use This ITAR
International Traffic in Arms Regulations as of April 15, 2021 Page 2 of 246 How to use this ITAR NOTE 1: This edition is prepared by Exports International USA, LLC, and it incorporates all official State/DDTC changes through April 15, 2021. To aid understanding, we at ElL have reformatted this ITAR with an outline-indented format that makes the regulation much easier to understand. For reasons of tradition, U.S. statutes and regulations tend toward a minimalist formatting, with all levels of paragraph numbering and lettering sharing the left margin. This can get bewildering when there are four or five levels of logical subservience, and conventional indent-formatting is more easily followed. NAVIGATION LIVE LINKS: Clicking on the cover page will take you to the master TOC page. We added that master Table of Contents on Page 3, and it is live-linked to the pages in the ITAR. That is, if you hover over any TOC line entry and click, you will be taken to that particular page in the ITAR. Additionally, we live-linked each individual TOC at the beginning of each Part (120 thru 130) to do the same. You can click on the heading titles of the 11 main Parts (i.e. Parts 120 thru 130) to return to the main TOC. As an example, starting with the bottom half of the cover page, it is three clicks to get you to the Canadian Exemptions at § 126.5. And once at § 126.5, you can click on that 126.5 paragraph title to return to the individual Part 126 TOC. -
Firearm Sound Suppression
Firearm Sound Suppression Nature and Measuring of Firearm Sounds Philip H. Dater, MD Instructor, LMO Training, Henderson, NV ©2014 P. Dater Antares Technologies, Inc Nature of Sound • Air in motion • Pressure variation the human ear can detect • Pressures measured in Pascals* • Threshold of human hearing: 20 µPascals (0 dB) • Sound is a form of overpressure *NOTE: 1 PSI = 6895 Pascal Decibels (Db) • Pressures in Pascals are unwieldy numbers • Decibels are a ratio of pressures (named after Alexander Graham Bell) dB = 10(log10(P1/P0)) where P0 is the reference pressure (20 µPa) and P1 is the measured pressure Example: doubling (or halving) of the pressure is a 3 dB change, changing the pressure by a factor of 10 is a 10 dB change or a factor of 100 a 20 dB change If 1 PSI = 6895 Pascal. How many PSI overpressure is a 170 dB gunshot? Firearm Sound Sources Firearm sound generated by 1. Sudden release of hot, high pressure propelling gases in bore, and 2. Sound of bullet in flight (ballistic crack/sonic boom) which is generated outside the weapon system and cannot be addressed by a suppressor Firearm Sound Character Sound diminishes by inverse square law as observer moves away from source. Each doubling of distance reduces sound level by 6 dB. How Loud are the Weapons? P229 .357 SIG 162-163 dB P229 .40 S&W 161-162 dB P228 9mm 159-162 dB AR15 .223 162-163 dB (164 db M4) (All measured 1 meter to the left of the muzzle) Maximum Safe Sound Levels Maximum permissible sound exposure before hearing protection is required: • Steady Sound (OSHA) : 85 dB work environment (40 hr/week, 52 wk/year) • Peak Firearm sound (MIL-STD-1474D) : 140 dB (Assuming no other excessive exposure) Firearms and Hearing Damage • Hearing damage is dose related and cumulative. -
Explosive Weapon Effectsweapon Overview Effects
CHARACTERISATION OF EXPLOSIVE WEAPONS EXPLOSIVEEXPLOSIVE WEAPON EFFECTSWEAPON OVERVIEW EFFECTS FINAL REPORT ABOUT THE GICHD AND THE PROJECT The Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD) is an expert organisation working to reduce the impact of mines, cluster munitions and other explosive hazards, in close partnership with states, the UN and other human security actors. Based at the Maison de la paix in Geneva, the GICHD employs around 55 staff from over 15 countries with unique expertise and knowledge. Our work is made possible by core contributions, project funding and in-kind support from more than 20 governments and organisations. Motivated by its strategic goal to improve human security and equipped with subject expertise in explosive hazards, the GICHD launched a research project to characterise explosive weapons. The GICHD perceives the debate on explosive weapons in populated areas (EWIPA) as an important humanitarian issue. The aim of this research into explosive weapons characteristics and their immediate, destructive effects on humans and structures, is to help inform the ongoing discussions on EWIPA, intended to reduce harm to civilians. The intention of the research is not to discuss the moral, political or legal implications of using explosive weapon systems in populated areas, but to examine their characteristics, effects and use from a technical perspective. The research project started in January 2015 and was guided and advised by a group of 18 international experts dealing with weapons-related research and practitioners who address the implications of explosive weapons in the humanitarian, policy, advocacy and legal fields. This report and its annexes integrate the research efforts of the characterisation of explosive weapons (CEW) project in 2015-2016 and make reference to key information sources in this domain.
