xRAZERx Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 British Police ain't armed <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Some are.... actually not entirely true, scince the handgun ban, regular POs dont need guns so they dont have them but the ARUs(armed responce units) are armed all ARUs - glock 17 most ARUs - MP5 (various configurations) rarely - various assault rifles, including ster AUGs, G36 (unknown varient), and 100 L85A1s that the MOD couldent be bothered to upgrade to the A2 my local ARU (milton keynes) has 8 officers, all with Glock 17s, 4 with MP5seA5(with RDS, 10 round mag, and the 'se' means safe and singleshot, no full auto or burst) rumors are that they are getting 2 of the SA80s soon <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not all armed officers use the Glock.... There will be no L85s for ARUs Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Well if the ARMED response units aren't armed then they wouldn't be called that would they? I was refering to those on the field and the smilie showed i wasn't all too serious. Gosh, some of you guys are so critical. Link to post Share on other sites

M1911A2 guy Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 AK-BS (Beita Spetsnaz) I heard from Futbolpunk along time ago that the word "Spetsnaz" is some word in Russian. It is the name of their special forces over there in Russia. Hold on a minute and let me check on google.... ~P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't belive the AKBS from TM was based on a real Ak carbine, but rather invented by TM. Just like the G3-SAS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was what I always thought was going on. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 @ ED-SKar Armed response units are armed? @ All Anyone else here got Jane's Guns recognition guide, it be darn good. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i have it, it is good, but in some places it isn't totally accurate probably because its so big . And i've never heard of ARUs having single shot only mp5s or having l85s. Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 @ ED-SKar Armed response units are armed? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it seamed right when i wrote it, (who proof reads forum posts anyway) and i saw somewhere a report that 100 L85A1 AND 10 L86A1 being transfered to the british police (note we made 320k L85s, all of them got upgraded to L85A1 but only 200k got upgraded to A2s, so where did the other 120k go, to terrorists mainly) Link to post Share on other sites

ED-SKaR Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that looks just a little bit like a police officer with a SA80 IW, or am i going blind (can i say i told you so yet ) Link to post Share on other sites

Enforcer Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 The Chinese produce the Type 56, not the AK47. It's a copy. Most "AK's" in the arabian region are chinese because they are cheaper. But the difference is hard to tell. Link to post Share on other sites

Prometheus Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 correct! the AKBs is VERY loosely based on the AKs74u but is mainly a TM made up gun <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I never said that it was used by real armies or anything. I merly stated that the name was the name of the special forces in Russia, I think. TM named it that because it was too be a special forces tactical version of the AK-47(74) ~P Link to post Share on other sites
DrJackal Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 AUG is used by quite a few other countries as well including Saudi Arabia, New Guinea, Oman, Nigeria, New Zealand, Moracco, Ecuador, Cameroon, Bolivia, Tunisia, annd I have seen a picture of what appeared to be french troops using AUG Carbines, but I don't think it's confirmed.

TimeToDie Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Who cares whether there's extra rivets or not - are you going to stop a fire fight to say "erm Mr. Bad guy - how many rivets are in your reciever??" No an AK is an AK by design no matter where it is made or how many rivets there are Link to post Share on other sites

But the difference is hard to tell. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> what is surprising is that the type 56 is a licsnced copy of the AK47, most AK47s in the world today (over a milion working units according to the 'guinnes book of records) are unlicenced copys made by local, small, gunsmiths simply because the AK47 is so bloody simple Link to post Share on other sites
