ALL YOU GLOCK GUYS AND NOBODY'S MENTIONED THE MOVIE "REVOLVER"!!!   Your all gonna pee yourselves when you see it!  (Yes, theres a 20 round clip involved, and many people feel the wrath)  SEE THE MOVIE.

While I didn't "pee myself", I did like seeing the Glock 18 take care of business there at the end. And I also liked the MP5 and Mini Uzi too!

so ya, i dont carry a back up hand gun while on duty, i know some guys who wont go on duty without their back up.  if i were to carry a back up it would have to be the glock 27 since i carry the glock 22 and magazine compatibility ect.

G22 and G27 is what my B-I-L carries on duty.

A reason given to me when I asked why police departments require all patrol men to carry the same weapon.  "Suppose two officers are in a shootout.  One uses all his ammo and the other has only fired a few shots.  The officer still having a spare magazine can share his ammo.". 

If officer number two has shot out three magazines worth of ammo and we're still in a fire fight...  HE'S NOT WASTING ANY OF MY BULLETS!!!

Not too long ago we had a police shoot which 3 officers were envoled in, 60 some odd shots  2 hits, upper arm and ankle.  This was all at less then 10 yds and one of the officers had a ar( he didn't hit the guy)  Some one actually had to reload and keep shooting to reach that round count.  Make me feel real safe...

Both our and the Vietnamese governments confirm an average of 20,000 rounds fired for every confirmed kill in vietnam... 

If in some mad, insane world I ever had a say in it...  The average foot soldier would have semi-auto, and three round burst select fire rifles.  Only two guys per squad with heavy full auto's (M60 variants). ALL would be .308 caliber (Yes I still love my AK's, but thats a whole other scenario.).

We need about a fifth of the Police force we have in this country.  What cops we did have should be getting training more along the lines of special forces.  Wilson combat 12 gauge, a G21, & G30 backup as full time carry requirement (while on duty they would never be without them. PERIOD).  To much gun for you to handle properly?  Dont apply.  Only SWAT teams should be toteing rifles for special situations (with even more training in their case)

Some of the cops in Spain carry what looked like an MP5 and body armor.  People DID NOT F with them!!!  They dont waste time on, or give a crap about traffic violations, or a little scuffle on the sidewalk.  Stupid crap like that took care of itself or citizens stepped in and settled it as needed.  But, if somebody got caught for robbing a house, attacking a woman, ripping off a store.  It was game time!

Maybe thats all just German heritage talking...   Dont get me started on what prison should be like!

According to the History Channel, that number is more like 100,000 rounds per kill...

I believe them more than I would any governmet.

What I had read was refering to small arms fire only.  Lord only knows how much other munitions were wasted.

Lack of proper training and supervision has lead to to much corruption here.

The reason I couldnt say for sure about the weapon Spanish cops carry is that it was NOT smart to look very long, make eye contact, or draw their attention.  They were quick to get in peoples faces, and more than once I saw guys talk back and get "jacked up", quickly followed by a car ride down town.  Most cops here are to corrupt to be given anything close to that kind of power.  It'd be a very tough change to impliment.

Use contractors in the interm of the change over?

When I was in Germany (late 70s early 80) you were not alowed to take a cops picture.  If he saw you he just took the camera, opened it, destroyed the film and then started to 'talk' to you to find out 'why'.  I saw it happen.
