They need to issue these guys full auto P-90s. It has better close quarters combat agility for fighting indoors, higher capacity mags, and it would be easy for LEOs to get the AP rounds to negate body armor. Switch to a Five-seveN sidearm and you even have common ammo if one or the other weapon is rendered inoperable. Although mags aren't the same.
They can just carry the damn things on their person all damn day. You could wear a P-90 with the right sling on your back and barely even know it was there. 3-9 mags on the front of a vest and you're ready for a full on firefight 24/7.
I feel like overpenetration would be a problem then. 5.7x28 was designed for armor penetration, wasn't it? it might be better to go with something that won't penetrate as much, because keep in mind we're talking about SCHOOLS here.
Yeah, I thought about that after I posted this, BUT they make lower velocity rounds for 5.7. If they carried all but 1-2 mags with the lower velocity stuff that is pretty much the same as 22 magnum/9mm type ballistics they would be WAY better off than using a freaking AR with 5.56 rounds. Talk about over penetration. In a concrete building the 5.56 will just bounce around and kill everyone and anyone. If the shooter has armor you switch to a hot mag and end his ass. At that point the greater danger would be to allow the shooter to continue his/her killing spree.
A P-90 is a personal defense weapon. This is EXACTLY the job it was made for. Its a great close in weapon. Its made for halls inside buildings etc and anything outside under 100-150 yards.
In fact the only thing I can think of that might be a better weapon than a P90 is to use is a cornershot with the same caliber/magazine as the officers standard issue sidearm. Same setup. Its light enough he could just sling it over his/her back and carry it plus extra mags all damn day. Not as good against armor(unless you use a 5.7 pistol in it kek) but still the advantage of taking to fight to the shooter from around a corner would be devastating. He'd get ZERO peace from the officer to bother stopping and shooting a student/teacher. Would require extra training though.
The P90 is the simple solution. You full auto a 20 round burst onto a shooter even in armor he's not getting back up and you still have half a mag if he tries. Train the officers right and it solves every problem. Using an AR is like using a Barret 50 cal to kill a deer.
This is stupid. They're putting (six) AR's in safes in the schools, so LEO's can access them. Not teachers.
Remember Uvalde? Cops everywhere, guns everywhere. Didn't do a lick of good.
Cops aren't the solution.
There were dozens of ARs at Uvalde. Just sayin’.
Oh wait, you mean you have to actually shoot the AR-15 for it to stop the killer? Hmmm....
Weird, rite?
Gun Free Zones = Victims Everywhere
