There are thousands of ex infantry soldiers, who have done many many hours of this exact training. And have also did this for real on many occasions. Lots of them/us would gladly, volunteer to be re-trained. And for those that pass training and all other tests and evaluations. Many would happily join as a special armed officer, or civil defence force. It would increase the police copacity as we could even be sent out with an officer. So they can then go single handed. It would also cost very little, as pay would only be paid on duty days. Similar to TA. We know this will never happen. But it would be good if the government did something sensible for once!

Well considering there are over 5000 armed police operations in London alone each year (about 13 per day on average) with over 80% being by ARVs on routine patrol duties, not specialist firearms teams, they will gain experience quickly. By the end of their first year they will have more experience of live ops than most squaddies get their entire career.

I am British and I like the system. We have obviously done something right, we have very low gun deaths and police have killed a very small number of people. Part of the difference is that in Britain guns are on the most part illegal and thus criminals can’t get hold of them, ie police don’t need guns so therefore it is sensible to not equip all officers with guns. It works for us.

[@russianpate3715]

What about the sudden increase in knife crime

[@YourLittleDeath]

If in Britain if guns are on the most part illegal I would think that would only stop those who are law-abiding from getting them I would imagine. The fact that they are illegal wouldn't really figure in the thinking of a criminal, assuming of course that criminals could in some way still get access to guns which may indeed be more difficult because of reduced availability on a 'black market' so to speak.

L85 is not a carbine, it's a bullpup rifle. It has not been manufactured for decades. The requirements for police weapons are different than military, and the SA80 would be unsuitable.
