In London you could expect an armed unit to arrive within 5-10 minutes.Still a hell of a long time if someone is spraying an AK47 around.The other worrying thing is the firepower the armed units carry.Standard issue weapons for Met officers is the Glock 9mm semi-automatic pistol.And although some look like the are carrying machine guns, these are only 9mm Heckler and Koch semi automatic weapons.The longer barrels will give these weapons a longer range, but both of these weapons are only effective at close quarters.If more powerful weapons were required, they would take a considerable time to be deployed. |
