Unfriendly Fire Two people have been arrested on suspicion of selling illegal weapon parts for use in M-16 rifles commonly found in the Singapore army. The shop owners are from the military surplus market at Golden Mile Food Centre, usually referred to simply as "Beach Road." Parts available include firing pins, retaining pins and blank attachments. They are harmless on their own, but may be used to build a functioning weapon if other parts can be obtained.
