Heard that SAR21 got right hand/left hand versions..


Anyone can confirm?
ok. my idea of the rifle (M16) could be outdated, as i ROD'ed in 1990...
Then again, even if the new SAR21 got left-hand version, the left handed is still disadvantaged when it comes to other weapons like the machine guns, which are designed to suit right-handed pple...

In the army, the rifle is built in a way that the empty cartridges (this is the shell of the bullet that needs to be ejected from the gun after firing every shot) will be ejected on the right hand of the rifle. This is manufacturer’s design…

For right-handed pple, this is fine, as they will use right eye to aim, and right hand to pull trigger, therefore the head is on the left side of the rifle - and is safe from the hot/burning empty cartridges when they come flying out after each shot.

For left-handed pple, because they use left hand to pull trigger and left eye to aim and so the heads are on the right side of the rifle, the cartridges will come flying towards their heads/bodies. This is a problem unless they can find a deflector to block the cartridges flying towards them…

Also, if dinner table is not too spacious, i think many pple will try to avoid sitting to the left of a left-handed person, to avoid two hands ‘clashing’…

And anyway we are used to type more nowadays! 🙂 🙂

Yesterday at Sunday School I caught him colouring with both hands at the same time!

His brother started off similar but has now settled on his right hand and seems to have lost his ability to write with the left hand.

about tilting head to kiss, it’s really dependent on where the other party is from. some people kiss one side, some kiss both sides.

At school, most of the time he will use his right hand as he copies his friends and the teacher but when he is doing colouring at home he will swap hands. He will often colour the right side of the paper with his right hand and the left with his left hand. Yesterday at Sunday School I caught him colouring with both hands at the same time!

Mawar:

My DD can write with both hands but only when she needs to copy chinese phrases. She does it when her right hand gets too tired. This ability applies to using chopsticks. Her right hand is the more dominant and natural choice. When I first noticed it, and asked her how she could use the left hand, she said just practice.


.. ..Thanks Mawar, so indeed mixed handedness can be trained.
Better than ambi really.. Have to recap which hand to extend out before a handshake, remember to tilt face the right side for hello kiss.. :faint:

OT a little. Just being curious.
Tilt face the right side for hello kiss - is that something common? Only with angmohs? Everytime one meets them?

Hmm. Maybe that's the reason my DD confuses between spoon & fork and fork & knife. Sometimes I catch her glancing at my hands and changes her cutlery. I thought she could use either hand quite well because of her years of practicing the piano.

Discovered it when I tried to wear my watch on my right hand and realised that it was tighter than when i wore it on my left…


had tried to write with my left hand too, but CMI…

I thot most can write with both hands, just the level of neatness & a matter of practise?

That would be mixed handed.. ..really handy.. 😄
I am curious if fluent 'mirror image' writing can be trained or one really need to be ambi..
It took years to decide which is the 'watch' wrist, and booboo of checking time on the wrong wrist.. ... :oops:

It is fun to be able to speed read and read backwards as well, but terribly embarassing when you sit through a meal and your 'hands' kept swoping the cutleries.. ... :siao:
