New Primary weapons issued to Armed Response Units

[GPR]

That realy is light and meaty,

are they open for purchase by the major CP companies yet or is it still a closed military/ Law Enforcemnt market.

I.E are ou likely to be using them n your courses any time soon?

In the midlands the G36k seems to be replacing the HK53 and the l96 is used for marksmen, although in London they still use the licensed copy of the G3ka4.

CO19 use;

Accuracy International Sniper Rifle (2 x Different Calibres)
G3 + PSG1 Stock
G3K
G36K
Remington 870 Shotgun
Hatton Gun (Door hinges and tyres)
HK 38mm Baton Gun
M26 Taser (moving to a newer model)
HK MP5A3
HKMP5SD (RARELY USED)
HKMP5 SMG (RARELY USED)
HK MP5 Kurz
Glock 17
Glock 19
Pyrotechnic Distractions

I think that is it, interesting and longwinded on classification days.

they dont use g3's - they use g3k's with psg1 stocks, they also use the sig p226

[co19]

Valor, I must have been dreaming the day I was issued with one (G36K) then, and they do not use P226's, I left in 2004 and visit and speak to the guys on a regular basis. I also used to draw out a G36 + PSG1 STOCK which is not the K version.

[valor]

No, I dont mean the g36 I mean the G3k- thats why I underlined it. The g3k is the Kurz version of the g3. The G3KA4 is designated L100A1 by the British. These were most likely fabricated from receivers produced locally under license, along with G3A3/4s at the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield. They have now been phased out, however the sfo's still use them

[co19]

You got me going now, I mean the G3 NOT G36, They were just coming in as I left.

I dont suppose it could be a SCAR?? I know a lot of US SF and SWAT teams have started using it. Mind you its not bullpup design so maybe not

[valor]

The US SF have not issued it, they have been using the hk416 for about 4 years now, I don't believe any swat units anywhere have been issued with it. Also what were you referring to as bullpup?

[Colin]

When referring to Bullpup I was answering the original message in this thread, as I had misread it. As for the SCAR I have seen pictures and footage of US SF carrying what certainly appears to be a SCAR. Could have been promotional pics I suppose.
