@@Chardansearavitriol A lot of HRT operators are recruited from Delta and Ranger regiment. MP5 use when this was filmed wasn't an SAS influence, really. It was shorter and lighter than the M4 Carbine, and the significantly shorter barreled MK18 didn't exist yet. When operating in a confined space or from a vehicle you want the shortest barrel realistically possible, and the MP5 family fit the bill well for the time. This is also why the SAS used them.
ppl don't know this but during the filming of this segment the reporter Joan Lunden invented the "double-tap", a shooting technique that was subsequently adopted by a wide range of CT/SOF units.
@Adam Beeson Don't know why?? I think multicam should be for the military and with black i think the FBI does not wanna look like LAPD SWAT. I think a green flight suit with a tan or black vest would be better for them than multicam.
@@johnglock685 Multicam blends into any environment, also all black or green uniforms stick out like a sore thumb on NVDs. With almost any organized terrorist group having access to NVDs nowadays, that's why almost every tactical unit wears Multicam now.
If... and in case if i need a female Body Guard i'll give you a call or email and you'll be hired right on the spot.... because you're such a tough lady and not afraid of anybody.... compliments Joan !!
Yes. But a former "unit" guy would now this. ACE and HRT train together quite regularly. FBI agents can be no older than 37 on their appointment, unless they are already employed in federal service. Mandatory retirement is 57, but LEO's can remain til 60 with a waiver. Going through HRT selection at 40 is not impossible, but could be challenging. However, there are several salty 40s aged guys running around CIRG.
The MP5 in 10mm is such a cool concept. Too bad it didn't last. I guess the wear on parts was just too much, as well as the widespread adoption of the AR platform by police agencies.
@Jack Benton Not to mention domestically manufactured ARs are far cheaper to widely adopt than dealing with importing expensive German hardware ;-) I have a semi automatic SBR'd MP5 in 9mm and if in close quarters I would pick it over any of my AR's. I can put more rounds on target quickly and most imporantly, the concussion isn't deafening. Short barreled AR's in particular are especially rough in terms of concussion, even more so in doors. Moot point though, the age of sub machine guns is pretty well over.
@Jack Benton From the "operator" perspective, that makes sense. The AR is clearly ballistically superior, even with a short barrel. I can only speak from the perspective of a civilian gun enthusiast who owns both an MP5 and AR's. If I had to pick one to run indoors without access to a suppressor, I'd pick the MP5. Pistols are still viewed as relevant today, and I see the MP5 essentially as a bridge between pistols and long guns- due to the stock, it can be fired more accurately than pistols, and the longer barrel provides better perforance than you'd get from a standard pistol. So in my opinion, subguns aren't as good as rifles, but they are still better than pistols.
The 10mm doesn’t wear as much as you think, those guns can last 30 years if you take care of them. Use the right locking piece and replace extractors and ejectors every half decade and your good. You can get a 10mm clone for around $3000 which isn’t much and that’s brand new
Joan Lunden: Great Video on FBI HRT, but Hun, You tensed up Your Muscles, anticipating the recoil of the H&K MP5 SMG, and, the buttstock of the WPNSYS ( Weapon System) sat too high on Your Right Shoulder. Other than that, Bravo Zulu, Luv.🇺🇸🦅🗽👮🚓⚖️🗡️
Since 1982AD, The FBI HRT has been, and still is, a Tier One Special Missions Unit of The United States Department of Justice, specializing in CounterTerrorism, Hostage Rescue and Direct Action. Servae Vitas.
Key cards gate open. Walks off w out being sure it closes. Tailgating? 🤔🤔 But big picture, HRT are excellent. Can pull it off w out anyone being hurt. That's hella skills
When firing the H&K, you would have thought the range instructor would have seen that the buttstock of the rifle was not properly seated in the pocket of her shoulder correctly and should have stopped the exercise to address and change the issue and then continue with training. It’s all about the fundamentals and if someone trains wrong then they will revert back to that once shit hits the fan.
It’s good that FBI HRT has its own transport to incident. Sydney Police special response in Australia has to fly commercial airline to the incident. When the entire team arrived on scene the locals had already dealt with the situation. Another time the team leader denied permission to use tear gas in a hostage rescue because the cost of cleaning up afterwards was too high. The reason for this comical situation was because the government put an accountant in charge of the special response team.
Certain people in news are just unable to make a program without tooting their own horns. Kinda gets old that some in media think the American people are too stupid to see through the stuff. Other than that a pretty good video.
Man …back then all the Counter terrorist operators looked fast and aggressive in their raids and approach …… these days it’s just slow af and too technology dependent .

Can a 40 year old former unit guy serve in the HRT or is there an age limit?
With an age waiver.
A 40 year old unit guy is by no means an ordinary 40 year old and comes with a TON of experience so I reckon that’s possible

Sort of, you can enter the tactical recruitment program so you only have to serve 2 years as a SA
Tactical recruitment program gets you to HRT in 2. Nobody goes to HRT after the academy. But you can go to a Divisional SWAT team while you wait.
