The UDMC S5-DGIS, The Filipino AR-15 Rifle

[@gabrielpalmones3980]

There were reports of UDMC rifles experiencing stoppages and critical malfunctions. Partly the reason why only a limited number are in service with different AFP branches and that majority of small arms in the Military are procured thru US brands.

[@bad.international]

That’s actually true. There were rifles from UDMC that didn’t pass the test of various AFP branches. The rifles will work properly, but parts need to be replaced in order to make sure of proper functions. It’s actually why the rifle in the video has parts from other companies

[@jerryyu7270]

Hey PJ, great video. Appreciate the content you've made. Hope you make more videos. I want to ask for consumer advice as a novice gun enthusiast, I'm really interested in purchasing a UDMC S5 DGIS, it has an attractive price and it's locally made. However, I am apprehensive about the reliability issues, some points you touched on already in this comments section. With all the modifications you've done for the upper and lower receiver of this gun, have you had any other issues or has it been completely resolved? Cost-wise, is it cheaper/worth it to modify the UDMC or should I just get a Colt M4A1(or some other big name manufacturer) and put my mind at ease? Thanks!

[@bad.international]

It’s actually cheaper to modify the UDMC S5 DGIS than it is to buy a Colt AR in the Philippines. The base model Colt ARs are going for 190k pesos for a base model AR with thermoplastic handguards from Topspot. You’d still be modifying the base model Colt ARs. Better go with the S5 instead

[@MrAnimeMilitary]

On March 4, 2024, it was announced on the news that the PNP will now once again allow semi-auto rifle ownership for civillians again and would be effective in approximately 15 days or so from the announcement. I am thinking of getting a DGIS S5 myself once I upgrade to a type 3 LTOPF. I do have some questions though. 1. Is that a 16" barrel with a carbine-length or mid-length gas tube? 2. Regarding the stoppages and issues you experience thus the upgrades you did, is this a 1st Generation unit that you acquired before the ban was put in place? If so, are the current Generation DGIS S5 more reliable now? 3. Was the rifle not tuned properly and under-gased causing cycling issues? If so, did you have the gas port enlarged a bit to cycle effectively? 4. What buffer weight are you using?

[@bad.international]

1. It’s a 14.5” carbine length barrel in the video. You can ask them to make a 16” barrel with a mid length gas tube. It’s actually what I got for my second rifle from them 2. The rifles we got from UDMC were prior to the 2016 rifle ban. We’re unfamiliar with the reliability of the rifles that they’re producing now, but we’re hoping it’s more reliable now 3. The gas block front sights were not aligned properly which was causing one of the issues. It’s why I switched it out with a low profile gas block and changed out the handguard. We’ve heard from certain people online that the hole for their gas block on their barrel is too big which causes some issues for the users. 4. It’s a Spike’s Tactical T2 buffer

[@MrAnimeMilitary]

@@bad.international Can your rifle now run fine from low grade steel-cased ammo to brass-cases Milspec ammo with hotter loads? What is the rifling twist on your rifle? And is the barel rifling button cut or cold hammer forged?

[@bad.international]

@@MrAnimeMilitary Haven’t tried running steel ammo through it to be honest with you. I’m waiting until the ban is lifted completely before running low quality ammo through it for research purposes. The barrel is a 1:7 twist

[@MrAnimeMilitary]

​@@bad.internationalDo you know if the barrel's rifling is button cut or cold hammer forged? I am picky with barrel longevity.

[@michaelcair1843]

Can a company UDMC make a mini 14 style for civilians,3lbs.trigger pull with match grade barrel/bull barrel.

[@bad.international]

There’s no point in getting a Mini 14. If you live in the Philippines, there’s no weird restriction on firearm like a pistol grip ban similar to that found in ban states. If you live overseas, UDMC has yet to export any of their firearms like Armscor

[@PedroPinatian]

When did a law here in the Philippines allow a Rifle to be owned by a civilian? Please explain.

[@bad.international]

@@PedroPinatian February 2013. RA10591 was enacted on that date. Under the law, civilians can own rifles without a limitation on caliber as long as it fits the classification of a small arms rifle. Basically as long as it’s a semiautomatic rifle that’s not crew operated, it’s legal for civilians to own them in the Philippines

[@PedroPinatian]

@@bad.international What do you mean on "Not Crew Operated".

[@bad.international]

@ Crew operated means you need 2 or more people to operate it. Those are considered Class B Light Weapons

[@PedroPinatian]

@@bad.international Ok i get it. crew operated guns are such as those like the M2 Browning Heavy machine gun. Guns operated by more than 1 crew. Am I correct?

[@PedroPinatian]

@@bad.international ok I have another question. Can you give me a category or classification that a rifle can be considered a small arms rifle? Does that include such as the 5.56x45 M4, M16 or AR platform, 7.62x51 M14 platform ??? What is the limit that a rifle is no longer classified as small arms rifle?

A budget friendly option would be the SAM Trailblazer, but if you’re looking for good quality AR15s, I’d recommend the Daniel Defense ARs from Nashe
