- A leading police firearms unit has revealed it was "inundated" with requests from unarmed officers to retrain after the Paris terror attacks last November.
In a special report after a week of exclusive access to the West Midlands Police firearms section, Sky News has followed the recruits aiming to join the team that protects almost three million people in the biggest British urban area outside London: trib.al/VTyrvqs

All of my relatives are police marksmen! Apart from my grandfather who's a bank robber. He died recently-surrounded by his family.
Bank robber.... That's almost heroic. Hahaha
Tell me about it
😂👏🏽😂
At least he went out with a bang
LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:34 I didn't know dara o briain had joined the police!?
LOLL
Carbine gun is the most reporter grandad term other than fully semi automatic
Isn't diversity our strength??
Still in there Floppy
what I question though is why the police seem to have better rifles than our military, like our military mainly use the l85 which is a carbine rifle and when talking to veterans and soldiers currently in the army they seem to mainly complain about the rifle
L85 is not a carbine, it's a bullpup rifle. It has not been manufactured for decades. The requirements for police weapons are different than military, and the SA80 would be unsuitable.
plus theres deaccessions of the L85/SA80 being replaced soon. Think the marines were deciding to change it to the Canadian-made C8 Diemaco although im not too sure.
That looks like a H&K 416 or something and not a carbine gun
It’s a rifle
Edward Tai thanks
The 416 has multiple variants but it seems like some sort of civilian ar15
buckshot 452 its not a civ AR-15. Def a HK or SiG
@@para_magnus2200 it is semi automatic
buckshot 452 SIG 516. It just looks that way but its a sig sauer SIG 516
3:11 Are they serious? That is either inaccurate or a lie? Arm Yourselves In England... "Blam Blam Blam Till Dem Fall"
People like this reporter are like “ this is the fully automatic assault 12 gauge 50 cal canon gun”
Edit: Thanks for all the likes guys!
MantisGaming ikr. It's not even full auto
“The carbine gun”... :-D
Hahahahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Read that in his voice as well😂

Am I the only one slightly annoyed by the amount of squeezing one eye shut with EOTechs
Dude, it's literally day 1 of training...
No your not
Kaj Einar Granath bro majority of them are people doing recerts
Asking a left handed person to shoot right handed. No wonder she is squeezing her eye, she cant see out of it.
It’s no secret that government organisations teach stupid firearm handling habits, especially the police. Honestly don’t understand why she has to shoot right handed with a rifle like that, minor technique adjustments and it’s fine.
I’m from Northern Ireland and all police are armed ; it works
Caleb Emerson up the ra
All police should be armed. Blessed my country has frontline officers armed.
It’s bc of the IRE,
And the public can still own pistols too. So it's all fair in Northern Ireland.
Caleb Emerson so why are they Focusing what’s going on other Countries the uk police where armed way back to the day when the IRA where about in the uk
Huge amount of respect to our police who risk their lives to protect us :D
While they let terrorists in by the boat load
"The carbine gun," he says. Lol silly reporters knowing nothing about firearms.
Connor Gannon it is a carbine but that ok
It's the M4 carbine... Isn't that correct?
@@mostlymessingabout no it's a c8 Canadian rifle
Connor Gannon it is a carbine...
HK 416 I think
It's ok, this world is CT sided anyways
lol
+Ben White loool

Counter terrorists win
"This is day 1 with the Carbine Gun."

Very clever
Leave them alone. They are some of the most honorable people I have come into contact with.
Northeastbaseball calm down
Scanning the scene in New Dehli tonight!
Hahahha
My heart skipped a beat here 7:09 until I realized it was just an exercise. At first I really thought it was a clip from a real attack somewhere. Phew.
chillout1109 yeah good job nothing like that actually happens in the real world.
give the uk back there pistols
Their*
Exactly sometime tazer do absolutely nothing and it was a shame to see them struggle against a guy with a machete in a video... Courage to the UK police from France 🇬🇧🇫🇷
haha no way, we dont want to end up like the USA
Until we accept and admit who our enemy really is, we will forever be dealing with the symptoms and never cause.
Corona virus
@@johnbriny1126 lol
Gotta respect the awesome power of a Carbine Gun.
@Blake I used sa80 a2 in the army nice weapon.not much stopping power thou
Clifftonic Studios LOL the SA80 is probably one of the worst weapon systems used in any developed nations military
@@clifftonicstudios7469 *chuckles in jamming*
The UK Police should be allowed to carry handguns on themselves
Salute to all police sir /ma'am. .
That training is like a daily routine in the backroads of Franklin,Tn. #merica
Just not as good right
I feel for the bearded gentlemen. Those stocks can pinch your hair and it's bloody terrible.
Steven Premmel 😂
For sure! Let's hope he doesn't get much recoil lash from those rifles lol, I had my rifle pull a beard hair out of my face. So incredibly painful.
Nobody wants to see armed police on British streets but the situation is forced upon us by those who use violence to achieve their aims. The officers who carry firearms have my full support and total respect.
As a rainbow six player I face palmed when he said "carbine gun"
james lyddall It is a carbine....
A carbine is just a short barrelled version of any assault rifle. So technically he’s right
james lyddall
It is a carbine though
**facepalm**
If police or military have them they're called "carbine gun"
If civilians have them they're called "assault weapons"
double standard hypocrisy.
Drop those EOtech XPS's for the MSE AQC's :D
Yup 7:25 -7:30 second man in line shot the shield guy in the back of the head. Thank god it wasnt live fire
No he didn’t that’s just the angle
Joey Minet Just the angle
2:04 rip headphone users
Only armed population can stop it
@MR. Right It's not dumb, that is how reality works
Why are so many US citizens in this chat proud of the fact that their normal police are kitted out like our specialised counter terror police? It’s a sign of the times over the pond and not a good one
2:25 Position and hold must be firm enough to support the weapon straight out the window there, hope the instructor got on top of that before letting her out on the streets with her "Carbine gun"
djeq721 it is a carbine
The guy literally says it’s her first day with a firearm, not everyone knows how to hold a firearm properly on their first day.
I feel bad for police officers who would be in this situation because they have a few mini-seconds to decide if someone needs taking out or if they aren’t a threat but the rest of the world has hours and days to decide if they made the right decision
Yeah i feel for them, it’s totally not easy mentally.
The police need to get more ex-forces into their firearms teams, it would beat these muppets that can’t fire 5.56 without hitting the ceiling.
Half the stocks aren’t adjusted properly for their draw lengths, and there’s a lack of weapon handling on most of these officers
HeeHee I am every bit as armed and I am joe citizen US living in AWESOME WV own 63 guns including 27 pistols...
That's just unnecessary
TRAINING FOR TERROR. MY BEST GUESS IS : COCK YOUR GUN, AIM.... FIRE AT THE NEAREST IC3, IC4 AND IC6. JUST SAY HE VAULTED THE BARRICADES OR THREW HIS GUN IN THE PARK OR WAS CARRYING A TABLE LEG!
TRAINING COMPLETE!
1:23 Yk they were itchinggggg to show this brudda😭😭😭
@Im not a terrorist , @Im not a cop... but I've the same Training 🤐🖖👁
Literally no one cares.
21st Century Police Training.
It's my dream to become one of them
Hows it going?
Train to react not to think "could I??"🙄
There are thousands of ex infantry soldiers, who have done many many hours of this exact training. And have also did this for real on many occasions. Lots of them/us would gladly, volunteer to be re-trained. And for those that pass training and all other tests and evaluations. Many would happily join as a special armed officer, or civil defence force. It would increase the police copacity as we could even be sent out with an officer. So they can then go single handed. It would also cost very little, as pay would only be paid on duty days. Similar to TA. We know this will never happen. But it would be good if the government did something sensible for once!
Or just join the Met 🤷
I wish this girl would stop telling her nanny she got the job 🙄
Do we have no knock warrants like the USA, do we need them?
Wtf is the point of $500 Eotech if ur gonna shoot with 1 eye closed?? -an American
I wanna join Armed police
This was 2016. Little did they know what would happen a year later.
It's so sad that it's come to this.. What an awful world we live in :(
Think the American police need to be trained by UK police as the training UK police receive is so much more complex an make the armed police only shoot on a last decision! American police get trained to shoot on the spot before even speaking to the suspect!
I agree and they should probably bring in metropolitan police officers London to help Philadelphia New York New Jersey State Police. And for the West Midlands police force what would it be in the closest American police unit equivalent because their training should reduce police violence.
I thought they used the g36, not the Canadian c6....
So much for British cops not carrying guns. It is nice to know that when seconds count the police will be there in minutes.
Uk Police they need more support
watching this as an American who owns 2 ar15s watching them shoot is just funny
Was thinking the same thing.. I like how they're making a big deal over something my friends and I have fun with during a normal weekend at the range.
Good job 👍 boy’s and the girls well done 👏
the armed police of the UK are carrying the same amount of firepower as a ordinary US police officer...
Oh so do all ordinary US police officers carry semi-autos and shotguns?
@@michaelcollins4752 yep
Thats not a good thing us cops shouldnt have guns tbh
Michael Collins Yeah, lol
Michael Collins Yep. 1-2 Semiautomatic pistol in the belt and a patrol rifle in the car.
I am British and I like the system.
We have obviously done something right, we have very low gun deaths and police have killed a very small number of people. Part of the difference is that in Britain guns are on the most part illegal and thus criminals can’t get hold of them, ie police don’t need guns so therefore it is sensible to not equip all officers with guns. It works for us.
What about the sudden increase in knife crime
If in Britain if guns are on the most part illegal I would think that would only stop those who are law-abiding from getting them I would imagine. The fact that they are illegal wouldn't really figure in the thinking of a criminal, assuming of course that criminals could in some way still get access to guns which may indeed be more difficult because of reduced availability on a 'black market' so to speak.
@@russianpate3715 Our police manage to take down machete wielding people without the need of a gun.
@4:32- 4:35. . . for a malfunction and recovery drill? He loaded a snap-cap (fake practice cartridge) into the magazine. . .
Correct
and here in America we can just go buy the parts and make our own guns in our homes. They make it seem like its such a big deal to have a gun, as if it were a burden lol
All police should be armed period. What good is a cop if he can’t fire back to a active shooter. Useless
All those lovely peaceful imports from the 3rd world spreading their delight
Especially at France I saw police with guns and I also saw GIGN
Rishi Rai they’re called the Gendarmes, they’re a military police that cover large areas with a small amount of people. Just like how the Brits do it. U wouldn’t of seen the GIGN and if u did u wouldn’t of know it was them as they’re the special forces and have no specific identifiers so they don’t get targeted
Thomas Morgan LOL I think Rishi Rai has been playing too many video games
NYCYTC u don’t say?! 😂 I’ll give it to him tho the GIGN are technically the police but my point still stands
Armed police show up to my house? I'm not rlly scared.. he has a beard? No thanks.
2:31 he can't be holding is right else the recoil on 5.56 wouldn't be like
Why are they looking at the left side of the receiver during stoppage drills?
Both eyes open when uring an eotech fella...
what an exciting job. I can't wait to join in a few years :D
Tom Notts good luck
GL
MR. Right Most U.S. police do, it's a shame that 30 second Twitter videos continue to portray U.S. police as psychos
Tom Notts Goodluck serving your community, stay safe
Hows it going?
Only took 5 terror attacks
They were always there, in Britain they tend to use the SAS more.
@@ciaranbrk they really don’t
@@thatguytimmo yeah they do they have armed response but when they can't do it SAS are on standby.
@@ciaranbrk That's incorrect, SAS hardly ever deploy in public. In a issue like the Iranian Embassy, yes. SAS will deploy. However to any other calls around London or wherever, Armed Police deploy. Then if it's worse CTSFO deploy.
Did they get the November attackers?
should focus on finding where is the next BOOM!
we're the same. My country is currently facing a tough situation. some terror groups connected to ISIS spreading terror attack on some parts of Mindanao. And it is really scared me because I know how cruel the terror group were

In America we are all armed and educated and held accountable and are police are all armed it works folks
Wow intense, taxing and difficult training! Meanwhile, in the U.S., just an ar platform and they are fun to shoot!
Maybe if u had gun laws it wouldnt be a problem but u know ur country is a shambles so
@@itsonlymat1594 Explain exactly how his country is a schambles.
@@itsonlymat1594 Actually we do have gun laws. I also want to know how our country is a schambles?
they US navy seals film and show how they clear rooms but the police in UK can't film it on youtube!
CRUSADERS!!!
King richad the lionheart would be so proud of them
I'm suspicious too many of these guys will think they're SAS when most of them have zero military experience in live situations.
Well considering there are over 5000 armed police operations in London alone each year (about 13 per day on average) with over 80% being by ARVs on routine patrol duties, not specialist firearms teams, they will gain experience quickly. By the end of their first year they will have more experience of live ops than most squaddies get their entire career.
@@PaddyInf I think the recent London Bridge attack proved otherwise. They see a bomb vest so shoot him dead...in the chest, endangering everyone. Obv we know now the vest was fake but they didn't know that.
@@PaddyInf Also, pretty sure a vast majority of those raids are either drugs related or hoaxes and not live terrorist situations.
This is a complete different world from the SAS though. Plus being trained to be an armed officer in the UK is actually something that's pretty hard to do, and should be respected.
X-Hvntrr-X well if that were the case officers would be shot on a regular basis, which is not the case
I'm curious to how British Armed police would handle being out on America's streets. Surely, even with their training, the number of shots they would discharge would go up considerably.
Well obviously due to the higher amount of guns, they’d also probably have different ROE due to the different laws and carry laws in the US
They have a holographic scope
Have we even got enough guns to give them? Last I heard we were on our arses. I’d thought they’d be using spud guns and water bombs
Don't mention Islam... Don't mention....
To that "human rights" guy I'd say, "Better TOO MUCH than TOO LITTLE".....

THEY SHOULD EMPLOY US VETERANS AS A TERRITORIAL POLICE FORCE
daniel spillett They need only teach the UK police and soon we can cause this to be the norm
Every police officer should be armed. As they are in Finland.
cintu lator Every man should be armed
@@ksztyrix No that's how a gun culture arises like in america. Remind me how many people get shot there every year compared to England. Only those with licenses who have been vetted and questioned should own firearms and nobody for self defense
@MR. Right Why idea I'm american? And I will not shut up
ksztyrix I want an AK-47 and a Desert Eagle .50 AE but I live in the UK and can’t get one but if the gun laws were tighter around handguns and Assault rifles I could but they would be more common leading to more school shootings and other gun violence so we can’t and it means I don’t fear going to school thinking I might get shot and why I don’t wear a Kevlar vest wherever I go because I don’t think someone is going to pull a gun on me but if I lived in America it would be different. It would be polar opposite so the US government should have the same rules as the UK if the US government really does care about its citizens
And Finland also has compulsory military service. You'd like that to be in Britain too?
