A couple buddies of mine are on a H R T unit, and they ask me to come play with their unit at their training facility and try to help them with some "issues" their encountering more and more with rookies. I was a bit confused becuase I'm not a Pro doorknocker by any means. I'm a mid-close to long range longarms guy. But 3 days in their facility sounded fun and interesting. So I pack my truck and went.
We spent most of saturday in their shoot shack, after a litle time on the warm up range. It was impressive watching them maneuver through the situations. They weren't the fastest unit in the world but they did it right and no stray shots, even towards the end of the day with the floors cover in shell casings to make things difficult as hell they were very efficient.
Sunday we moved out to their urban/ rural area and things went to hell. After the way they performed in the shack, I was expecting similar results here, I was just plain shocked. The same guys that never missed in the confines and chaos of a building couldn't hit shit at ranges beyond 50yds, literally 1 good hit for every 15 rounds fired. I couldn't believe what I nwas seeing. No trigger control, fire disapline, pretty much spray and pray. And they send these guys to H R T??????? can you say liability? They'd be better off with a bunch of ******** with hunting rifles.
I straight up told my bud get these guys on a range, you need to drill and drill and drill trigger control, disapline and sight alignment and longer ranges on silohutes. they don't need to be Carlos Hathcock but a bunch of Barnie Fife's is just asking for trouble.
Where did all the riflemen go? Most of these guys are my age but i don't know their backgrounds so I'm guessing they're city boys who never held a firearm before police training. I don't understand how these punks have the balls to be HRT when their as likely go kill an innocent as they are a BG at a distance over 50yds. I wouldn't want to be in the same county when these guys get called up. I guess they either know some1 or think it's just a big game. This ain't playstation you only get 1 life. It's scary if these are the best the police have to offer what the hell are the other guys like.
