I now have two contacts who I can speak to about WMFS (fire brigade) and WMAS (medical response). WMPS, on the other hand ...

I also come with no gifts but I bear the fruit of Rangie labour, kind of:

Thanks, yeah it should really be alot further along, it's been a bit neglected. Also, forgot to mention that the Vectra is no longer being included as a police vehicle, due to a lack of evidence of its existence. However, I don't like getting rid of my models, and luckily, I saw a few days ago a WMAS Vauxhall Vectra RRV being towed by a blank van, so that mesh becomes that. Expect pictures soon :)

Range Rover SE ARV - marked, blue grille lights, all-blue Vector-style lightbar on top.


Wow, never seen that lightbar before in the WM, but cool :D
As usual great work with all the new updates.

Yeah, but I'm basing it off a picture of a scale model because it's my only reference, lol.

Just got some info to update your first post with the information on it but I thought it would be inappropriate for me to quote the whole thing:
The AFO, plain clothed AFO and Armed Raid Police carry a pistol and the standard one is the Glock 17. In addition the submachine gun is normally the Heckler and Koch MP5A3 but they alos carry Colt M16 and Heckler and Koch G36C Assault Rifles. Another non-lethal option is the Heckler and Koch (see the theme!) M104A1 Baton Round gun.
There are very few plain clothed AFOs outside London if you could post a pic that would be appreciated!
Armed Raid Police are sometimes referred to as SFOs (Specialist Firearms Officers) but that's not always the case. They also carry Remington shotguns to breach doors with.
Finally, all UK polcie firearms are Semi-Automatic, no bursts or Automatics.
Riot Police are more commonly called Public Order.
Raid Police are sometimes referred to as TAU (Tactical Aid Units).

Other than that the mod is looking really great and I look forward to its completion.

well, unless youre including the SAS Counter Terrorism Teams, the G36C and M16 is not a weapon used by regular armed law enforcment units , there is no such thing as the M104A1 Baton Round gun after extensive reaserch, all/most police forces do carry a Baton and/or Pepper Spray, also Armed Response ave access to a new Tazer Shotgun which is very effective :laugh:

Armed Police teams do use the G36c as well as the MP5. As far as I know they don't use M16s.

Anyway I think we should get back to topic. If you want to talk about this then use PMs.

I don't know if it's true for all UK police cars, but it is true for most, I think.


As for USAR, maybe I will.

Sounds like it would require alot of scripting to give it changeable loads.
