I’m a lieutenant for FSP and I still think this assault rifle idea isn’t needed.
Yeah, sure it’ll be cool and will help us in certain situations, but this only increases the risk of abuse and crossfire accidents.
We rarely use our firearms, as we’re a traffic-based LEA. Continuing from this, a full auto firearm would also just be useless in our main jurisdiction, as shootings rarely happen on the 401.
We usually respond to CD when we’re requested, and then we finish the scene off with our glock. It’s simple enough.
We have shotguns, and we also have cars that we can take cover in and behind.
You just need to get good.
semi vs auto is pretty easy to handle, if you understand combat physics and use real life tactics.
