Leadmill Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Been wanting to make this thread for a while as the Americans seem to have a thread for every single sub division of every branch of their armed services. After asking permission from a mod I got the go ahead to start this thread. Its for loadouts based on UK Police Armed Response Units and the Met's CO19 division. I know a number of members have such loadouts but they would be inappropriate in the SWAT thread. So to kick things off, heres a few of me and my team. Some more recent pictures of the team. I'll post some more up later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kyrian_Zenda Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I know from previous threads that some of the stuff you guys wear can be pretty difficult to source...but is it expensive to put together? And do you have any ex- or serving police officers on your team? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And do you have any ex- or serving police officers on your team? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> R_Buxton, the small chap with the short dark hair is a serving officer in South Yorkshire Police. Bella is joining the police shortly I understand. yes the kit is a right pain to source and expensive too but the best way around that is to start with replica kit and gradually build up to real issue kit.

MDK_Marshal Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) I'll have to see if my mate tom has any pics of his kit around... not technicaly a brit police loadout, but he's got something rather close; Riot armour (leg and arm guards and so on), S10 respirator, Black helmet, black trousers and shirt, black vest, black everything. Looks rather SAS/CO19, IMHO.  EDIT - Pic. As I said, not strictly Police, but is it close enough? That's for you guys to tell me   Edited again as I didn't realize the pic was smegging huge jsut a thumbnail linking to the image now Edited July 18, 2007 by MDK_Marshal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hey guys! Ive just come back from holiday (Skiathos, 2 weeks) and i saw the police outside the airports (Because cars cant get near the termainal anymore) and they were using G36Cs with dual optics. Looked bizzare! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leadmill Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 SYP use Eotechs on top of theres although I have seen them used with Aimpoints too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltSky Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Last time I saw armed police I think they were carrying MP5A4s with iron sights but that was quite a while ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MDK_Marshal Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I was at bristol airport for something a while back... possibly when I went to france with me (now ex) Girlfriend, but that's not relevant... There were at least 2 armed officers there, both with G36c's, with the standard 10 round loads in the mags, and no optics, just iron sights. Â Take the minor details with a pinch of salt, mind, it was at least a year or two ago and I *have* been drinking tonight, so... yeah. Definately G36c's, though. Â Also, my mum claimed that when she went to manchester a few days ago there were police with some kind of huge gun... didn't ask for details as she's not a gun nut, but from the sounds of it I'd guess at something like G3 length, probably a bit shorter. Anybody got any idea what this could be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 could be a wide range of things but probably a G36C Though I think CO19 do use a G3K + PSG-1 stock for sniper roles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
