Allow usage of M4A1 to Police

[BlackDog]

I'll answer that, no. Many police officers never even fire a bullet in their career.

There lies the key difference between the types of police, real world officers hardly fire their weapons outside of the fireing range for practice, while FL officers are thrown into firefight usualy every 30minutes, with less access to equipment than the people they are up against, even the SRU has this restriction.

It took over 2 years to get the SRU access to a sniper rifle because people claimed "It was overpowered" Yet the people they went up against on a regular basis had full access to the FL weapons list, from Tranqs to the previously 1 shot kill AWP, why is it even after so much time people continue to use this excuse to deny the police force the equipment they should have had access to the entire time to deal with the range of situations they can encounter on FL?

Situations and their equipment requirements:

Traffic Stop: Standard Sidearm/Tazer to Nothing at all dependent on how well the suspect cooperates

Traffic Checkpoint: Standard Sidearm/Tazer for standard operation with MP5 to M4A1 dependent on situation.

Apprehension of suspect: Recomended MP5/M4A1 due to high risk of suspect being equipped with bodyarmor and an assault rifle class weapon or higher.

High Speed Chase: Recomended MP5/M4A1 due to high risk of suspect being equipped with bodyarmor and an assault rifle class weapon or higher.

Warrant Service: Recomended MP5/M4A1 due to high risk of suspect being equipped with bodyarmor and an assault rifle class weapon or higher.

High Risk Warrant Service: Recomended M4A1 for cordon zone due to high risk of suspect being equipped with bodyarmor and an assault rifle class weapon or higher and the risk of suspects attempting to breach cordon to escape.

Barricaded Suspect: Recomended M4A1 for cordon zone due to high risk of suspect being equipped with bodyarmor and an assault rifle class weapon or higher and the risk of suspects attempting to breach cordon to escape.

Hostage Situation: Recomended M4A1 for cordon zone due to high risk of suspect being equipped with bodyarmor and an assault rifle class weapon or higher and the risk of suspects attempting to breach cordon to escape.

Grand Theft Auto: Recomended MP5/M4A1 due to high risk of suspect being equipped with bodyarmor and an assault rifle class weapon or higher.

Grand Theft: Recomended MP5/M4A1 due to high risk of suspect being equipped with bodyarmor and an assault rifle class weapon or higher.

Theft: Recomended MP5/M4A1 due to high risk of suspect being equipped with bodyarmor and an assault rifle class weapon or higher.

The list goes on, and just the sheer option to be authorized by the Sgt to be equiped with a higher caliber weapon for a temporary period is what those who play with the government on average dream of.

Like ive said repeatedly, if your afraid of seeing the weapons out everywhere, rules,policys and the like are what you need to keep it in line.

Require the Police sgt to authorize the use of said equipment and set out guidelines to help players know what constitutes a proper situation for this and what is not.
