While I've never used one, I don't think a laser dot actually helps much outside the range, there're all sorts of factors like light levels, textures, and colours which could stop it working very well.Friendly Lich said:EDIT: I have come up with a second proposal as my initial one seems to be very flawed. Please scroll down to read it.
New Idea: One trained security person in each school with bullet proof vest. Possibly a veteran as they have trouble finding jobs and their war experience could give them an edge over the less experienced shooter. Laser point sight on the gun for maximum accuracy, but I don't know exactly what gun would be best for the situation; defiantly not an automatic though as less bullets in the air would be ideal.
Can you help me develop/refine this idea please?
Also they shouldn't work alone, they should have a partner so that one can cover while the other one moves/does anything which prevents them from aiming a loaded weapon at the time, such as opening a door.
Ideally they should be different races, and have different attitudes towards the rules, as this seems to work rather well once they sort out their differences and realise each others worth.
As for their equipment, I'll make a list.
Body armour.
A hand held torch.
Glowsticks.
CS gas canisters.
Flashbangs.
Periscopes.
A pistol with night sights, in case their main weapon malfunctions or runs dry, or they need to aim a torch in a different direction to their weapon.
An accurate SMG for indoors, with small, hollowpoint rounds unlikely to penetrate walls, a vertical foregrip and red dot sight to increase aiming speed, and a barrel mounted torch, the breach should be further forward than the trigger, so that if they go around a corner, they can hold it on whichever side of their body goes around the corner first, without the drawback of spraying hot casings into their face.
If they're only dealing with one guy, I think it would have enough stopping power as a semi-automatic, that being the case I reckon it might be worth making it lighter, more compact, and handier by removing the stock.
A semi-automatic rifle for outdoors, it should have a scope to improve accuracy at long range, but since they're already carrying other stuff, it should have a collapsible stock, and the firing chamber should be behind the grip, so that it can be more compact without having a shorter barrel.
EDIT: Just want to add radios to the list so they can keep in touch with any other cops who arrive at the scene.
