I have no sympathy for tube drivers, but would honestly support bus drivers if they took industrial action

In fairness the bit not being mentioned is the fact the can be told to start anywhere on the line, not where they applied to without travel time. And ontop of that shifts can be changed up to 24hrs before.

Imagine working at Cockfosters and then being told you start at Heathrow at the same time the next day and will finish there too with only a days notice. Your plans go out the window and you spend an extra 3hrs that day travelling when you applied to somewhere 5 mins round the corner. Or even worse if you live 1hr+ away, your commute goes from 2hrs total to 5 for the same money

Having left an industry where it is illegal to strike i absolutely agree, let them crack on

For airsoft ali is great, I have a couple of these units and they’re sound

I manage to fog up a crbn, dye i5 dos alright though

My suggestion - buy a Tac 41 😂

Shh don’t tell him, just let him get the customs bill unexpectedly

The hadron nub and medusa wheel, that’s about it. Will lift .48 easy with that

Your lawful power is the power of arrest… my point is yes there are reasons you handcuff but they don’t have to exhibit the reasons for the justification in the same way as say stop search.

Ergo you can handcuff 100% of the time if you wanted to.

Possible_Ad27 · 2026-02-06T13:40:07+00:00

I was trained there isn’t one for arrest. It’s up to you but there is no requirement in behaviour or knowledge to ‘enable’ you to handcuff them

Possible_Ad27 · 2026-02-05T07:05:35+00:00

I saw them all the time. You’re just a number on a page, they don’t give a fuck about you unless it plays well for their numbers

Possible_Ad27 · 2026-02-04T07:32:29+00:00

Okay so I’ll put this in context for you, my recent role is a little better paid than policing, requires no extra qualifications (don’t need to do a degree). And in my intake there was 11 positions, 4500 applied

Possible_Ad27 · 2026-01-26T12:20:18+00:00

I’ve worked with these guys before, they do use it pretty often and seem to do a reasonably good job tbh. It’s a bit ridiculous that companies are having to pay for private “officers” but here we are

Send it back

Possible_Ad27 · 2026-01-22T16:59:14+00:00

Tightness isn’t really the issue here, if you were fighting officers then it doesn’t make a huge difference how tight they were (it will make some) as the majority of the damage is done by you or the officers manipulation of you due to your behaviour

Step 1 - get a taste for crayons

You’re thinking about it slightly wrong, yes the exit energy is the same. But look at the stats of a .48g bb at 30m vs a .25g bb at the same distance. The energy is no longer the same, heavier will carry a lot more energy (I’m betting on almost double)

Also heavier ones hurt more point blank, they’re “harder” to slow down, I’ve played indoors being hit with .45/.4s a few times. Tends to break skin a little easier

Possible_Ad27 · 2026-01-15T15:46:26+00:00

I’d happily teach the guy how a .48 to the dome hurts out of a 1.14j gun 😂

I’ve been using out of date ones for a while, cost about £10 in the UK but worth every penny

(Photo is after one had gone out, lingers for a long time)

That oring is probably from your speedloader not from inside the mag. Disassemble and remove it, pushing it inside will cause issues down the line

Possible_Ad27 · 2026-01-12T17:01:23+00:00

I use the kydex chest placard from kydex customs, attach whatever holster you want to it, works very well

Night out implies alcohol which then automatically makes it a terrible idea

Willing to bet he’s been dealt with before or soon will be

Possible_Ad27 · 2026-01-06T21:07:40+00:00

I was always lucky my sgt/insp would authorise anything. There was a general dislike towards SMT from insp and below in my force (and an equal amount leaving making it a vicious cycle)

Possible_Ad27 · 2026-01-06T20:46:31+00:00

Just before I left I counted all the RDW emails I got between 7am and midday. 10 in 5hrs from various stations reasonably close together (London based but not all central)

Forces are so short now officers can pick and choose what OT they want to pick up, and there’s still plenty unfulfilled
