So, exactly HOW does this give them more firepower than a 9mm sidearm? Hey bri, what were you issued in Afghanistan, a Nerf gun? ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

It has a stock and looks badass.

So, from the sounds of it, the Parliament Hill detachment officers are being issued Tippmann A5s?

Don't forget the higher capacity magazines. (42 pages--all pictures.)
Speaking of pictures; the soldiers in the picture above really need bike safety helmets. (They would be that final touch to make it "just right.")

Significantly higher accuracy due to the longer barrel, and by virtue of being a shoulder fired weapon. Ottawa police also has about eighty cruisers with our version of an M4 carbine in the back; these ones with 10" barrels, 30 round mags, EOTechs, and surefire foregrips. Ottawa police also has a full time tactical team, and lets not kid ourselves and assume there isn't something else kicking around my nation's capital that we don't know about. JTF2 is also based about 45 minutes away. The MP5s are being issued, from what I understand, to pretty much all Parliament Hill officers as essentially a 'patrol carbine'. Parliament is not a good area for full automatic fire. Don't think for a second that this is the sum total of Parliament's security. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

For what it's worth, many Capitol Police carry shotguns, and most carry only pistols. Then again, there have to be a couple hundred of them around the Capitol, and there are still dozens with M4s. One of the coolest things I saw in DC when I was there in 11th grade was the Secret Service escorting someone past the Capitol. Half dozen Suburbans filled to the brim with suits, all of whom appearing to be shooting laser beams out of their sunglasses at the crowds. It was really pretty impressive. /off topic ------------- BU Engineering 2012 |

On the contrary. If Parliament was in session, it'd probably do more good than bad if you catch my drift

Yeah I'd take a semi MP5 over a handgun any day of the week.
Being a shoulder fired weapon, with better sights and a longer sight radius it is better than any handgun. The only reason for selecting one in semi auto over, say, a semi auto 5.56mm, is it is more "picture friendly" than an assault rifle. You still see cops with MP5's, so they aren't "evil" yet. Toting an AR makes you look like a soul-less child killing soldier. I'm willing to bet those are the two cinsiderations they used. 1) It IS better than a handgun 2) it isn't a child killing AR. KBK |

They should definitely go with the AK-74s (with wood stock and grip of course). |

When I am king of the whole planet, my cops are gonna be armed with AN-94's with GSN-19's. I WANT people to be scared of them. I don't want smaller, photogenic guns. I don't want "respectable" weapons for them.

When the lay man (in regards to firearms) thinks of increased weapon capability, I'm positive that the vast majority of them thinks increased fire rate and perhaps the ability to launch a person farther into the air than a weaker gun. You can thank the movies for that. -------------

Uhoh. Tallen is starting to claim he knows people on here too. I think someone else is rubbing off on him. We're going to have to start asking for proof of acquaintenceship for some of these people. Maybe we should kill Tallen's buddy so he can post an obituary as proof? ------------- Skillet: I've never been terribly fond of the look of a vagina |

You'd have a blast if you came down to shoot that seeing as how Paul's house resembles an armory that has everything you could imagine from the Roman Empire onward. His other most recent purchase was this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_cm_Granatwerfer_34 - Granatwerfer 34 It's a usable tube. He's got no functional rounds though. They're a bit expensive, especially when you add in the $250/round in taxes.
His name is Paul and he's someone who you don't want to mess with. This is Paul: 
If you've read Sgt. Rock (the comic book) in the past year, then you've seen him before: 
He acted as the historical consultant for the writer and artist. In return, he's the German sniper antagonist of the story in "The Lost Battalion" Here's his personal Granatwerfer-34: 
Needless to say, you don't mess with Paul. Great guy. Extremely intelligent and level headed, but I feel sorry for anyone who would ever try to invade his home or threaten his family. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |
