I would appreciate your input regarding A (PSU) Port Security Units weapon of choice.
To summarize and compare what we do , we are responsible for access control to an area , think of it as a road block for cars of course instead of cars we stop boats and ships.
every one agrees that the weapon we use right now is not the most appropriate weapon (the C7) THE VESSEL WE WORK IN IS CLOSE QUARTERS WE CANT MANOVER AROUND OUR OWN BOAT WITH A LONG RIFLE.
My recommendation. C8 with grenade launcher. it affords us range and penetration. as well as the stopping power of the grenade , and the flexibility to use less than or non lethal.
I feel that the ability to use non or less than lethal would be appreciated since our concept of ops does not allow us to leave continental North America. and we primarily deal with your aunts and uncles here in Canada.
and the grenades would give us options against swimmers / divers
My second choice is the Remington 870 with collapsible stalk. again for the same ammo flexibility as the grenade launcher , I also feel that the 1/4oz deer slug is one of the best rounds for stopping a boat. not to mention that the round might cause less collateral damage in a urban environment given its lower velocity.
Third and last choice not my choice the MP5 given the weapons compact size it is easy to maneuver around the boat the 9mm round might be considered a safe ammo for use in an urban environment . i don't think this round would stop a boat or penetrate a hull to hit a driver.
