via my local free paper, I can’t find a link to the story.
Manchester Police are upgrade the guns their armed officers carry, replacing their Heckler & Koch MP5s with G36s. I’ve got to remember this for when I start doing Deputised Experts stories again.
Technorati tag: Manchester, Police
well it’s quite good if you use flater-headed ammo (that won’t ricochet) and if someone turns up in body armour you can put them down, even if it doesn’t penetrate, they’re also a touch more reliable, accurate, frankly the firearms, dogs and TAU now wear military type kit anyway, especially the rain smocks …
Just so long as they don’t end up with bullets that go through the bad guy and carry on down the road for half a mile or so.
