National Shooting Centre hit by overnight floods

half of ammunition for SEA Games rendered unusable

---

At least 20,000 rounds of ammunition to be used by Singapore shooters at the upcoming SEA Games may have been rendered unusable, after floods hit the National Shooting Centre located at Old Choa Chu Kang Road overnight on Saturday (May 2).

Water levels apparently rose to about half a metre high in the Singapore Rifle Association's armoury. It is understood that drainage problems within the premises contributed to the flood.

The armoury stores about 40,000 rounds of ammunition to be used for the SEA Games, half of which got wet and may no longer be fit for use. If so, the losses could come up to about S$20,000.

The rounds were to be used by Singapore shooters for training and the actual competition. The Singapore Rifle Association said it is not taking any chances to ensure that medal hopes are not affected.

New rounds will be purchased on Monday. Delivery is expected to take about two to three weeks.

"When they opened the armoury this morning, our staff had a look and everything was choked up, water was in the armoury. We have been pumping all the water out,” said Mr Conrad Chung, a general member of the Singapore Rifle Association.

"These shooters are very particular; the rounds that are reserved for them are actually pre-tested on their guns and different rounds. Different batches perform differently due to the manufacturing process, so these are pre-selected rounds. Now the shooters have to wait for us to get the new rounds in and reselect them again.

"Hopefully there is enough time," he added.

No problem. We can afford to change everything.

Fucking prima donna shooters. Fuck lah, shoot only at 50m with a .22 kpkb until like that. Who the fuck can't hit bullseye at that range? .22 round is completely water proof. In NS can shoot wet 5.56 rounds, also 5.56 rounds with some dirt on it also can be shot. AK-47 rounds can be shot even under worse conditions. This fucking prima donna shooters should just take the ammo out, hand dry it, and try shooting it, they will find no noticeable difference. Ammo is more robust than their fucking egos. Same goes for any of the other ammo that they may be using for pistol like .32. The only ammo that might be impacted might be shotgun rounds used in skeet and trap shooting. I can see water damaging them.........maybe, depending on how they are made.

Even professional snipers who kill people at 2000m are not as guniang as these morons when it comes to their ammo. Conrad needs to tell them to suck it up, clean up their ammo and then try it out to see if its really damaged. Little bit wet throw away. what? Money grows on trees?

Looks like the SEA Games budget will have to be further increased.

How can you compare NS slave shooters with these professional competitive shooters? In NS, marksmanship awards you $200. Whoop-dee-doo.

Similarly, professional bowlers have their own custom bowling balls... can't just use a random ball from the bowling ball rack.

NS shooters get $200 plus montly pay increase. SEA Games shooter get what for winning or placing in the medals? A gold plated, silver plated, or bronze plated medallion? What is that worth? $5? NS shooters get paid more because they are the real deal. I put one sniper 1 km away and start sending it to them, you see them all hit the dirt and pee their panties. Wait long long for their .22 to get you at 1km range.

When Vivian opened the National Shooting Centre, he thought it was national gay club where horny men can shoot their cum on his face, ala Bukkake style.
