Hey all,
Im trying my best to persuade my department to issue AR15's to all members of the patrol unit, not just SWAT members. I have a question in regards to that.
First off, my department does not have the funds to supply every officer with their own weapon. There are 2 available as of right now and each shift only has 2 guys on. So it works out. The main concern from some others is that each person will have a different zero on the weapon. Forgive me if I dont use the correct terms.
If the weapon is zeroed to the one officer who is 6'2 and is then passed on to the next officer on the next shift who is 6'0, will there be a problem in POA/POI. Both officers have been trained the exact way, exercise the exact stance, both are using iron sights and both wont be engaging targets in a use of force scenario outside of 100 yards.
in a situation in which an armed suspect was holding someone hostage, and precision shooting would be required, these officers would not be the ones taking the shot. I am merely talking about hitting a man sized target in the torso to incapicitate.
Thanks for your input.
Also, please please please dont let this spiral out of control about why officers need military weapons, or JBTs, or police use of force or the training involved. This is a simple question and has nothing at all to do with politics or RKBA. Thank you.
