    LEMMINGS!!!

    Haha, can't any skydiver play a game like this without trying to do low pulls you guys crack me up
  3. Erm, a tank? A dirty great big tank for blowing shit up?
  4. Just put the paintballs in the freezer before loading them up. Apparantly thats how alot of grudges get settled on the paintball field! Haha
  5. Hey, looks like you'll be jumping at same DZ as me in UK. I downgraded my car too! Bought my rig and paid for AFF. Still couple more jumps before get licence though. I should be there this weekend.
  6. Found this on another forum I post on, ex highway patrol officer... Might add some fuel to the debate.
  7. The trailer was interesting. As for the test. I got halfway through and stopped as the questions in that just become opinionated so not really a fair analysis. I think people should worry less about things though. If everyones in the same boat who gives a fuck

    LEMMINGS!!!

    Remember this! Totally addictive and fun game from the past! http://www.elizium.nu/scripts/lemmings/
  9. Pure scum. Maybe they should test their faith when they are looking down the barrel of a gun. Also a protest like this in the UK would be an offence under section 5 of the Public Order Act and I wouldn't hesitate to throw every single one of them in a van and show them what 4 concrete walls look like.
  10. Your real names not Ian is it? Nice avatar by the way. We all know where we stand
  11. Dont forget our most common firearms offences are more like kids shooting BB guns at others or firing paintball guns at buildings and gennerally not the violent heinous crimes. Even being in possesion of pepper spray/CS gas/Mace is an offence under the Firearms act
  12. Somone probably angry because theres no good UK black artists at the moment. Was funny, had interview on news the other day. Reporter turned round to artist and said: "maybe people dont want to hear you rapping about the ghetto because you have no idea what its like. You only rap about what you think goes on, if you rapped about going to comprehensive school and doing a paper round at 13 it wouldnt be so exciting" Classic moment. Loved it. Do you actually trawl through all the UK crime reports just waiting for one involving a gun though?! Your always right there with a point to make in no time! Haha Not that I can argue about this one. Ill write letter to my supervisor requesting we are armed. Will compliment my really big set of balls nicely having pistol strapped to my thigh. In all seriousness I think its getting worse and I do expect us to have a routinely armed police force at some point in my career. Its just doing it without havin public outcry which I unfortunately think is gonna take a few more shootings before they get public support on the matter
  13. Awesome, why scrub when this thing will do it for you!? We are becomming a terrible species. We are going to end up having arms and legs like pipe cleaners where we are so inactive in a few hundred years
  14. Looks awesome, well done. Also interested to see if you have uploaded any footage
  15. We were taught in our officer safety training that any use of force is potentially lethal. The action you take has to be justified. Ill give you a couple of examples and you tell me if you wouldn't have had adrenaline flowing. these are real and involved my colleagues... 1) Two officers went on a routine visit to a guys house to take details as hed said he'd been burgled. Officers went in, the guy locked the door behind them. Bit unusual, but guess understandably cautious, had been burgled after all. He takes them to what he claims to be the point of entry/exit (a bedroom window) while the officers assess suitability for forensics he shuts the bedroom door behind them and pulls out a samurai sword from under the bed covers. Miraculously both officers were unhurt, one gave him a face full of pepper spray as the other batoned his wrist. In this scenario I would actually suggest a gun would have been ideal. Keep your distance and drop the fucker 2) Double crewed patrol turn up to a domestic, guys gone absolutely banzai. Hes very drunk and also appears to be under influence of drugs. They have to restrain him so hes sprayed twice which has no effect (drugs can make you immune to effects). Hes then batoned on the legs and arms and again he doesnt even flinch. He then picks up a broken bit of glass from the window thats smashed and starts swinging it around in his hand as a weapon despite it cutting his hands to bit. The only solution is a baton strike to the head which takes him down... for a few seconds... and then he starts to get up again at this point back up turns up as had been already running due to violent nature of offence. Again, gun might have been preferable here or certainly suitable candidate for Tazor. In these high stress situations you cant do fine skills. We have a training scenario where instructor dresses up in a padded suit (FIST suit for those who know it) and attacks us. We have to use whatever we can. They dont tend to go lightly on you either. You have to kick, punch, headbutt, baton strike - do what ever you can. You get tunnel vision and you cant focus on anything other than what your doing. the hardest bit is immediatly after that you have to go and tactically handcuff a non compliant subject. It is one of the most difficult things I have ever done. You are totally useless after that until you've calmed down a bit. A common tactic is to let other officers take over once you've been struggling with someone as they arent as amped up as you are or tired and can deal with things better. I fail to see how this can be implemented. Sure they might train other forces with it but when it comes to the crunch it will all go out the window. I feel that if I had to, having been in similar, if not as dramatic scenarios as those, I would just shoot in offenders direction as quickly as possible. Fuck lining up the angle of the dangle, hes going to kill you if you dont stop him. But then we're not armed so I wont have to face that responsibility. If people had an idea what dangers were faced everyday they wouldnt propose silly legislation like this or claim that officers should be super humans immune to fear. One of those officers, cleaned himself up, took some time to get his head together and went back on duty, then went home to his wife and baby and did his family thing. Only human after all. People are often surprised when police show human emotions [/rant]
  16. Haha thanks, I think I remember that thread too. Wasnt it about phones being in low power or something. That was comical
  17. I seem to recall someone on here being mobile phone technician or designer or something. If anyone knows who it is can they tell me or PM me. Dont worry its not a silly question or a can you fix this. Thanks
  18. No doubt armed police have extensive training. But if you've ever tried even handcuffing an offender when your adrenaline is through the roof its very very difficult. Shoot the mass. Im sure even the best marksmen lose their edge in high stress situations which is why the likes of the SAS etc have constant training in high stress situations like 'the killing house' using live rounds. Anyway, besides the point. Any action you take using a gun is classed as deadly force and as such you should have to justify the use of the said deadly force. If minimum force will suffice, use less. Pepper spray, baton, dog. Adrenaline is your friend, embrace it but be aware of what it does to you. I would say if you can shoot someone without even having your heartbeat raise you are in the wrong job, should consider becomming a hitman or something
  19. Crazy and not practical. If the time comes for you to shoot someone (god forbid) the adrenalin you would have in this type of scenario would make it near impossible to aim for the legs or arms. The body can only cope with gross motor skills in these situations, fine skills go out the window as anyone would know if ever been put in dangerous situation If you have to shoot someone something has alread gone very very wring, so just do it
  20. What an amazing story! Bet he felt on top of the world. Loved the crowds reaction too
  21. Haha, I know the images of South East have been updated anyway And your right I went shortly after opening and the car park was full then!
  22. What... all 3 of the previous ones Chill out! The hardcore posters are beginning to look and sound just like that video of the kid screaming at his computer. Go outside and get some fresh air, get a nice cup of coffee then start posting.
  23. HAHAHAHHAHA. Brilliant! But how many guys marry only find its to an old goat many years later. At least he knows what hes getting himself into. Heres the story... A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal. The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders. They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi. "We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said. Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat. "When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up". Mr Alifi then called elders to decide how to deal with the case. "They said I should not take him to the police, but rather let him pay a dowry for my goat because he used it as his wife," Mr Alifi told the newspaper.
  24. You will have also no doubt learn that if you dare upset someone you will be publicly hounded. The forum rules are not the ten commandments. Give people a break
