So today a group of me and my friends were at capitol with a hostage sit and most of us were armed inside when we were inside and shooting with the swat they pull out there shields like this: https://gyazo.com/1f12b169575ce53843cc5246ec488447 this wasnt the only case of this happened it happened what 3 or 4 times. And for all you CRT/SWAT saying were toxic for making this were not it just gives you a unfair advantage so I would like if possible there to be timer for the shield to be pulled out or make pulling out the shield at all during a shooting frp. I honestly urge one of the owners to make a delay on the pull out time of the shield. please discuss about this and vote
Its a RIOT shield not a bulletproof shield that’s meant to defend you from gunshots. In what word did riot shields defend from gunshots their like plastic, with that many shots realistically it would break
At this point, put a timer on every tool. Why not.
It is unrealistic to whip out a riot shield mid-gunfight, however, Actvl, it is also unrealistic to have fake “hostages” at your hostage situations. You don’t see us making public forum posts about it.
I’m not a toxic guy, but if you’re gonna complain about one thing, at least be fair about another.
Nobody is perfect. In a panic, when you’re about to die, if you have a tool that can prevent it, of course you are going to whip it out without thinking about realism.
SWAT have been told not to do it, however, as it is unrealistic to do.
I do see you’re point with “fake hostages” but you have to understand, with all the FRP that goes on between both Criminals and Cops, real hostages aren’t a option anymore.
They always walk off, don’t even comply with us in the first place, or just FRP mid fight/negotiation.
And I’m sure fake hostages aren’t totally unrealistic I’m sure some criminals have had fake hostages before to give them info when they are out of the building, not a bad idea if it’s never happened.
