@daltonagre that sucks...shooting is fun here in the US. You should visit and go to a gun range where you can rent the guns out and use them for target practice.
Such as someone wrote below:"Because the M249/Minimi is more accurate at longer ranges, takes a belt feed, has a higher rate of fire, and a heavier barrel. Automatic support weapons like this never really caught on because there's no need for an intermediate between an infantry rifle and a support weapon in the US military. It's not a bad weapon, it's just a solution to a problem that doesn't exist."
As a support weapon, i believe that the SAW is far better, I think that the Ultimax shines in its ability of being a mix between an AR and LMG, its lighter then the SAW and less bulky, and it holds more ammo then an AR. Its low recoil and accuracy is amazing. I wonder if you could put a 40mm gl under it, that would be Awesome.
@Xiia0Sn00pY dude..i m a a regular... saw sucks at blanks ... but live ammo its great.. it depends on the operator knowledge and understanding of the weapon
used to handle this in the army as a SAW gunner, bloody accurate and low recoil when clearing my magazine of 30 rounds. Only problem is when using blanks. like this gun
tell that to the DoD. lol... the M249's hefty...
I tried telling them! The weapon is dead accurate and it is built solid, and I just wonder what those monkeys at Pentagon were thinking when they ditch it.
ultimax uses constant recoil operation, meaning that the recoil that is felt comes in a continuous stream, instead of you feeling the recoil of each individual shot like bump bump bump
In the last scene, something is moving when it gets hit and explodes. Suicide bomber? just kidding but something is moving maybe an rc car or target rigged with explosives? Mini Mujahideen?
Haha problem with the US is that they do not like the drum style magazine, opting for the m249 one's instead. Low recoil, and very nice control, what's there to not like??
it was like he was using a garden hose.... zero recoil and perfect accuracy. i'd say these were blanks, but the splashes in the water say so otherwise.
@jiapau I have a feeling the SAW you have been getting is more than 2 decades already. I tried the newer ones. They are very reliable. I have say though, most of the SAW in the SAF are more than 2 decades old. I seriously feel that they should introduce the Mark 5 soon or we will end up with rusting rifles......
Because the M249/Minimi is more accurate at longer ranges, takes a belt feed, has a higher rate of fire, and a heavier barrel. Automatic support weapons like this never really caught on because there's no need for an intermediate between an infantry rifle and a support weapon in the US military. It's not a bad weapon, it's just a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
heheh.....i've juz shot that weapon weeks ago, in the army camp. It's a nice weapon, only thing is u need to get the correct drills done before u get any misfire.
A belt fed LMG while nice and all, is totally impractical for the kind of warfare they were fighting. Try using a belt fed while dashing through cover in an urban shoot out isn't pretty.
Mainly, magazine loaded weapons are easier to train with. You don't need to be a genius to slap a mag into a rifle.
Also jams are relatively easy to clear with a mag weapon but messing around with a snagged belt feed is a little more complex than that.
Great technology, but IMHO poorly executed. It has been the universal standard of every military since WWII to use belt feed for their machine guns for so many reasons. If this could be modified then maybe, but it would take more than a small adapter, the receiver may even have to be inverted.
It may have a niche as a "Heavy assault rifle" but for the kind of volumes of fire used with even light machine guns, belt feed is a must.
Apparently the low recoil system will be used in USA's new SAW.
The reason it's drum/magazine loaded cause the armies in SEA region mostly use magazine loaded small arms, mostly 5.56mm. So when low on ammo can just find some ammo off a dead ememy.
Also the Spore armed forces use yankee made M16 rifles before U100 SAW was intro. Hence any M16 mags will fit no prob. M16 mags and 5.56mm universal in SE asia, we designed it for pratical purposes.
This made in singapore weapon btw is BATTLE TESTED in a conflict zone around europe FOR YOUR INFO!!
You should check out the LSAT Light Machine gun that uses the Ultimax recoil reduction principal (under licence I think). Jut put "LSAT Light Machine Gun" into wikipedia and it says all about it and it really is amazing what they are trying to do with this weapon with caseless ammo and incredibly light at 4.5kg.
So called "constant recoil" it noticeably reduces felt recoil as the weapons just seems to have a constant recoil force like a high power hose so it is much easier to hold on target.
It works by having the heavy bolt group recoil a long way back where the spring is designed so that the bolt is decelerated back then accelerated forward at a constant force, never hitting the back of the receiver with force.
It has much potential though many questions remain.
Well, this is a lot more complicated than a regular design, there are questions as to whether it is suitable for use in modern warfare. Although well used in the Balkans and SEA region, it has had no where near the same mileage as other designs.
Also, the Army is not some gun club, they can't just casually adopt any gun as they become available. They need to be logistically sound with maintenance/spare parts, training and so on.
I don't think so, the "LSAT Light Machine Gun" (wiki it) uses a belt feed only, special plastic (or case-less) rounds and a new pivoting chamber type of action that has only been seen on auto-cannons before now allows for forward ejection. It also has a quick change barrel yet is a pound lighter than the Ultimax 100.
There are really very few mechanical similarities between the two weapons. Not the same nor developed from.
My bad, though this gun was considered for USMC replacement for M249. Although you saying this gun being a poor execution is not fair seeing different preferences by each force...
Yeh, "Poor Execution" is a bit harsh, it implies that it is a shoddy design/poor manufacturing when it is a beautiful design and is built to the highest standard.
Maybe it would be better to say the Ultimax 100 is poorly marketable by using an unpopular drum magazine that most armed forces are not too keen on.
Singapore doesnt really have that high a reputation and experience when it comes to marketable guns, though the SAR-21 and U-100 are very reliable and better suited for homeground defence than export imho
i'got the gun in my hands once ...the charging handle was kinda flimsy and its really well balanced but the magazine catch is kinda troublesome especially if you're in a fire fight...never got to shoot it though and its suprisingly light for its look...plus the original 100 rounds drum magazine is made from plastic...so u can see how many rounds u have left...well roughly that is...u need special holes drilled if u want your m16 mags to fit in the ultimax..u get to use it in rainbow 6 iron wrath
Personally I'd rather have the MK48 or M60E4, because of the 7.62mm round. But all in all it's a great LMG. Having absolutely no recoil and running around with a tommy gun look-a-like would be pretty epic.
# of rounds put down range at any given time. A minigun that fires 5.56 has a really long effective range. Beyond that of what a single 5.56 would be considered. It's just semantics. The US won't have a proper rifle till they ditch 5.56 anyways. 6.5 SHOULD be the future.
it runs on a patented "constant recoil" action which is in fact a simple effort to avoid the heavy bolt group slamming against the backstop in receiver. This is done by elongating the stamped-steel receiver (and available bolt travel path) and by carefully calculating the strength of return spring proudly developed by Singapore technologies kinetics. :)
After so many years since developed in 1982, from MKI to MKIII version, it is still the "World Lightest Machine Gun" with such a low Recoil. It was used in more than 10 countries around the world and saw action in the Balkan War.
this section automatic wpn was introduced in 1983 to the SAF - it is in my humble opinion the best SAW any infantry section can ever hope to use - light, accurate, low recoil and very dust resistant. However the forward pistol grip is too stubby and the barrel is too long. other than that I love delpoying this together with the 7.62 GPMG with my Tiger force - treally suppresses enemy movements.
The Ultimax100 was designed by the same American gentleman who designed the AR-15 / M-16. Singapore mass produces it.... I'm from Singapore. Was in the army and I had my hands on it. The only problem with this support weapon is, the 100 rounds drum mag has the tendency of dislodging from the weapon by itself when it is fully loaded... otherwise, it has a near zero recoil. We call this weapon SAW in Singapore.
coz we had the mk2. Those they sell overseases are mk3/4. My unit's supposed to be the first to attack when the button is pressed but we could never get more than 5 rounds out on our pieces before it jams.
nice little weapon, i let loose on it when training with singapore SF. Problem was it wasnt the strngest...i cocked it and tore the cocking handle straight off it...not aussie soldier proof lol.

Perfect weapon for the anarchists to fight the stupid fucking asshole shitfucker Marines. We'll take 100,000 of them. We don't need to F you up, you're a-hole government will do plenty of that to you. Only a stupid retard would join the US military.
so a guy willing to risk is life for his country is a retard? youve clearly got no clue wat your talking about around my country we call those boys ballsy and brave and we call you guys fucktards.
once again your right but wat made the m249 such a beast, low recoil, massive mag capacity, long range, and a controllable rate of fire. not as intense as the ultimax but it can be tamed.
Es una buena arma automática, es relativamente liviana de unos 6.8 kilos (con bipode y cargador tipo tambor de 100 tiros) se puede disparar sin culata y el retroceso es el minimo... trabaja con la acción indirecta de los gases y posee tres posiciones que regulan la presión de éstos y se cambian de acuerdo a las condiciones climaticas :)

this section automatic wpn was introduced in 1983 to the SAF - it is in my humble opinion the best SAW any infantry section can ever hope to use - light, accurate, low recoil and very dust resistant. However the forward pistol grip is too stubby and the barrel is too long. other than that I love delpoying this together with the 7.62 GPMG with my Tiger force - treally suppresses enemy movements.

This video is amazing. I think I've watched it like 20 times :)

rate of fire looks at about 600 rpm in the video, but the operator can change it from 400-600 rpm at will.

The Ultimax100 was designed by the same American gentleman who designed the AR-15 / M-16. Singapore mass produces it.... I'm from Singapore. Was in the army and I had my hands on it. The only problem with this support weapon is, the 100 rounds drum mag has the tendency of dislodging from the weapon by itself when it is fully loaded... otherwise, it has a near zero recoil. We call this weapon SAW in Singapore.

coz we had the mk2. Those they sell overseases are mk3/4. My unit's supposed to be the first to attack when the button is pressed but we could never get more than 5 rounds out on our pieces before it jams.
The few that work? Rock and roll =D

Perfect weapon for the anarchists to fight the stupid fucking asshole shitfucker Marines. We'll take 100,000 of them. We don't need to F you up, you're a-hole government will do plenty of that to you. Only a stupid retard would join the US military.

the rate of fire isn't impressive but everything else should be ideal for the marines

Who cares about rate of fire, with recoil like that, you'll hit every shot.

true dat but more bullets on target at a fast pace would make this gun even more beast

the rate of fire is extremely impressive. Smart soldiers like lower rates of automatic fire. Lower = more controllable, less waste of ammo, win.

once again your right but wat made the m249 such a beast, low recoil, massive mag capacity, long range, and a controllable rate of fire. not as intense as the ultimax but it can be tamed.

Is this a Mk4? Seems like a toy, no recoil!! Had always avoided this rusty crap like plague in my army days.

I thought he was shooting blanks until I saw the splashes in the water. Essentially no visible recoil.

Es una buena arma automática, es relativamente liviana de unos 6.8 kilos (con bipode y cargador tipo tambor de 100 tiros) se puede disparar sin culata y el retroceso es el minimo... trabaja con la acción indirecta de los gases y posee tres posiciones que regulan la presión de éstos y se cambian de acuerdo a las condiciones climaticas :)
