Probably the M1 Carbine, its used by a few other police forces in the world, including a few US law enforcement agencies, and the Royal Ulster Constabulary in Northern Ireland. Isent the thing you are joining more of a militia or is it a real police force?

It's sort of like a WELL armed neighberhood watch. 9 MM's, .45's, M-1's, and a couple M-16's

cool :D, too bad we dont have armed neighborhood watches here

We're encouraged not to shoot, until we have at least a years experience with the weapon. Otherwise we're supposed to trail and call for backup, or try and subdue without firing any shots. If shots are fired and it's justifiable, than it's ok.

The M-1A is an M-14 CapC.

Yeah I knew that..... That was the point I was trying to make. You can have all the benefits of a Garand with a 20 round magazine instead of 8 round clips. Actually it is a semi-auto only version of the M-14. The action has been modifed extensively so it can't be converted to full auto.....

We have a BIG problem with our police using their firearms here in the States. Everytime a white cop pulls his gun on a black man, people scream racism even if he justifiably pulled out.

Here in certain places if an Israeli pulled a gun on an Arab they would throw a banquet in his honor.
