Except the Singaporian government won't sell you anything. You can dream on.....I just heard that they finally allow the sale of chewing gum again just awhile ago.

Dream on? I hear through certain grapevines that a US company is negotiating a manufacturing license....:p
BTW - I dream in Technicolor...
 
Then you can be very sure if it won't be open bolt for you mere mortal in the US. Besides, it will be a miracle if the US state dept will allow exportation.

Seriously, I doubt that will happen since LWRC won the contest for the USMC IAR, which the Ultimax was hopping for.

At the end, you are just getting a very heavy rifle.......I can live with semi, as long as it is open bolt and belt fed.
 
aan open bolt gun has a fix firering pin on the bolt face , there is no locking mecanism. they are consider machineguns in the US even if they are semi only, in canada they are legal. a good exemple would be the sten gun or the non restricted gevarm 22 lr carbine
 
So the firing pin is fixed and exposed, and it only punches the primer when the cartridge is fully inserted in teh chamber and stops?
 
With a closed bolt, the bolt and carrier are forward and locked, with a round in the chamber, and the hammer back until the trigger is pressed.

With an open system, the bolt and carrier are held back until the trigger is pressed. At that point, the bolt and carrier jump forward, strip off a cartridge, force it into the chamber, the bolt locks, and the gun fires.
Open is used on belt feds due to the great heat created by burning 50 or 100 rounds in one go. If a round was chambered soon after, it might "cook off".
 
Kinda like buying a porsche but living in a perpetual school zone.
I'd still hit it, or at least go to the demo.
