Agent Team SWAT with Close TRADE THE TOOLS

I like the uniform and how they carry a lot of their equipment. The main weapon I may forgo as I liked my mini AR15 with adjustable stock. It made being on the SRT team fun. Oh for those who do now know SRT stands for Special Reaction Team. It is the armys version of the SWAT type team. I had to spend 3 weeks on a airforce base learning about SRT.

I see why you might like the mini AR15 better. Nice and compact from what I can see and understand.

They sure compress a lot in to one person, one would need to keep in decent shape.

Crowd control is something very different than SWAT. In the riot type police you are using less than lethal means. In SWAT type policies it is kill first ask questions later.

Yes I think swat teams often are in a better tactile position then crowd controllers. Be nice to see better equipment for them as I think it is terrible when they are hurt (or worse) trying to protect people from rioters.

In riot situation you sometimes come across a group of people who are using the riot as a cover for some serious damage. It is these groups that seem to cause the most trouble and may even be the root cause of the riot. It is in these clashes that the police officers or others are serious injured or even killed. This is something that we prepare for and train for. We know it is going to happen but not when. The protective equipment we have for riot situations has been proven valuable. IF the riot gets worse and more modern weapons are used then we will invite SWAT members and maybe the military to break up the riot.

How quick is the military or swat team to get out if required? I was debating which would actually be fasted and decided location location location, is the most likely factor.
