as has been stated on UK telly repeatedly " an officer is responsible from the moment the trigger is pulled till the moment the round stops" so any fire arms trained officer has to really be paying attention, if the bullet hits the target and goes through into a secondary target the officer is liable. ( i actually paid attention to the talk and descriptions, on the section on this at the royal armories in Leeds). Id be happy foe Even more "non overpenerative" rounds to be used, im guessing they arnt issued due to cost ( I hope im correct in thinking something like glasers).
ill stop tangenting and add looking nice so far the camos far less splodgy than i normaly manage

But for the fact I have sworn off buying any more kits (lusting after a very expensive lens for my camera), I would probably go and get one of these in a flash! Looking very good so far.

Steel P.....ur right in all you say.....glasers would be way to expensive and have (app) way less penetration...I read they would struggle to penetrate a door due to their construction.....great PD round...as long as nothing in the way....thanks re th paint scheme....

Pyro.... They are £1.99 at my MZ at the mo...if you want one or more posted to you I can we if they got any left and post them.....no worries re that......H

This must be some lens!...............but I remember saving all of my pennies to buy a Nikon "Perspective Control" lens about 30 years ago. I still use it, and several architect friends pay me to take pictures of buildings as a result..

Looking good mate

Rather spiffy, yes! Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR. Trying to find a second-hand one, as they're about £1600 new.

Very nice build H, I could do with trying to acquire some of those at that price. The colour scheme looks the part and brings it up to date too.
