ETF question

[Pyr8]

Does anyone know what side arms as well as SMG the ETF use? For the side arm I'm assuming its the Glock, but what about their CQC weapons...H&K MP5?

The CKPS use AR15's and Glocks. I think iv seen an MP5 once too

OK. So what local police force's ETF are you asking about? You don't specify which city or agency you're interested in. Many local forces have Emergency Task Forces, as do the OPP. If it's too much for OPP ETF, they call in a TRU team. Other forces call their's ERT's (Emergency Response Team) instead, like Cornwall's CERT (sounds like a breath mint.) RCMP also have ERT's, and they use the H&K MP5 semi-automatic only. In fact I don't know of any agency in Canada (other than the Canadian Forces) that use true, full auto SMG's, they are all semi-automatic only. It's all about intimidating appearance.

If you're asking about the "Centre of the Universe" (Tranna), well TPS ETF entry teams use short (11.5") barrel AR-15's in .223 Rem. (5.56 mm NATO), and I know at least some of them them are from Bushmaster, not Colt. Their sidearm, agency wide, is the Glock 22 in .40 S&W. I don't know what the long distance people use, if anyone does, maybe they could fill us in on it.

Although this is all kind of off topic, isn't it?

Doing a search for ETF (Emergency Task Force) on Google and Wikipedia brings up Toronto ETF, now I will admit that the thread started did not state what police force he was looking for, but he did state ETF which I believe is solely used by The Toronto Police Services as the title for their "SWAT" team... now if he had said ERT that would have been another story as I know there are at least 2 agencies using that title.

anyways heres some info on the ETF http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_Task_Force

I thought it was pretty obvious he was asking about Toronto's ETF team.

He's located in the "GTA'ish" and nobody else refers to their "swat" team as ETF.

I stand corrected. OPP have ERT (and TRU, etc.) not ETF. And I didn't initially see the "GTA-ish" location identifier. Sorry.

But is anyone going to correct me on the firearms information, or add to it?

Actually you might get a better answer at: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/

Try the "General Firearms Discussion" Forum, or the "Black and Green Rifles" Forum. And it's 100% Canadian.
