what does an mg42 weigh

25

yeah 150ish with ammo makes the load ok

plus 50 rounds

50 lmao

at least 50

500 at least

you don't want to run out

I'm talking bare minimum, not practical

the police force used 50 round belts dispensed from a backpack, essentially a 50 round magazine

I do think that kind of armored team would make a good terror/anti-terror unit

there's something awesome about standing in a hail of fire

but they would need someone to take out anti-armor teams for them

imagine 50 of those guys storming Hollywood and Washington DC

I do frequently

unstoppable

well

not unstoppable unfortunately

any serious weaponry does them in

Blitzkrieg tactic, overwhelm the police force

I think their best role is to show dominance

Nothing short of a 50 bmg or Lapua magnum could take them out I dont think.

how about high explosive of any kind

grenade, mortar, rocket

very easy to deploy that kind of firepower

Yeah, but who has those in a police force?

in DC?

By the time the military showed up, they would have hostages

I can't imagine what kind of swat teams are on standby in the capital

DC is a ghetto

the mall isnt

as far as I know

the seat of government is like an oasis of cleanliness and order in the city

I'm sure they have big guys on standby

A guy I knew was from Virginia and said "dont ever go to DC unless you want to get shot"

yeah he means the surrounding city which is a shithole

But Hollywood though, that would be a quick takeover

yes

highly viable

or any other California city

you could run mechanized squads through the hills easily
