When we mentioned that they should equip their H and K pistols with silencers and lasers/lights... they said they are experimenting...
They do not make entry with SMGs or carbines, given that illegal arms are a rarity in their country. They do not train to fire with silencers given that this will reduce explosions in firefights in a clandestine drug lab with explosive gases and materials. A raider from the unit told us-- that things need 'approval from the Minister of Justice' and that their enforcement unit does not have the same heavy duties as the US DEA...
We feel this is wrong... a full set of SWAT (Police) training should be offered, retraining programs should be in place, and shooting for all special units should be, SF standards with pistols, shotguns, sniper rifles, carbines et al.
Always enter with full weapons and gear compliment to make the bad guys surrender quickly with no firefights. But unfortunately the drug agent we spoke to said they don't want to have so much gear that the bad guys would run away. Our experience suggest that lasers and super bright weapons lights would be more than adequate to stun the occupants.
