[Video] Police Snipers train for Super Bowl LIV
- Thread starter B4Maz
- Start date
Gotta stop those...streakers?... from 100yds away with a .50 cal LOL
That looks like 50 brass coming out of that gun to me. Why in hell would they need a 50 in there? In case somebody drives onto the field?
Looks like an AI AE MKI, a R700 in a AT chassis, and a Cadex Tremor.
I’m more interested in the bullet traps they’re using. That’s some cool shit.

Is that in case certain player don't throw the game when they're supposed to?
That was a regularly scheduled Tacflow class on Sniper Response to Public Venue ran in the 2nd week of December.
Several agencies including some not associated with Superbowl security attended the class. Tacflow does include a block on The Role of the 50 Cal in Venue Safety and covers vehicle threats.

I can't imagine a scenario where a 50 inside the building wouldn't create more problems than it would solve. There is some frangible 50 rounds out there, but why 50? Maybe some local yocals want to show off their toys.
^^^ Yup, what Terry said... I was a visitor in one of their courses with some SWAT Teams from different counties in SoCal
Don’t worry about what weapon systems they use. Those that play stupid games will win stupid prizes...
And they use 2 different bullet traps. One from MGM Targets and the big one for the fiddy is called the MIB2S (Modular Interlocking Ballistic Barrier System) through KF Armory

Why no suppressor? I'm also curious as to why our military and law enforcement still use the Leupold MK4 scopes with so many other great choices out there?
These questions were in reference to the first shooter in the first vid. Sorry
Just what I want to do, go into an arena unarmed with 100k people I don't know and sniper teams with 50 cal telling me it will be ok.
I trust thier judgment as much as they trust mine. It's not biased, it's reciprocal nothing more.
Hell no !

Exactly. Watch what happens if some idiot lights some firecrackers. The only other time that you would see a stampede of that magnitude is on a 1950's television episode of "Rawhide."
@Snuby642 dude, wtf are you talking about?
For one, you prolly won’t even know where they’re at unless you have Binos trying to find them.
Bring me a statistics of LE Snipers using a 50 in such events.
That video is from a Stadium Surveillance course which Snipers need to be qualified for liability purposes. They have to demo all kinds of platforms, not just short action systems
They’re going to be shooting a 308 if need be.
The 50 is for armored vehicles/ hard targets.
Sit back, relax and thank them for their service whether they have to face F*k someone or not.

"Reciprocal" should not need an explination.
Going places unarmed, I'm guessing you don't have to comply, but strangely expect others to comply and just get over it.
LMAO

I’m staying on topic with the OP’s post. Which is the use of a 50cal.
It looks like you’re trying to dive into this “gun free zone”.....

Gun free zones never are.
A lot of bad element out there don't you think?
Evidently the snipers practicing think protection is needed but only on thier terms.
Not my kind of place.
Enjoy your ball game.

First guy's trigger pull is atrocious. Slapping that thing like it was his hoe.
The snipers don't make any of the decisions you imply. Not even the decision to be there in the first place.
They got the opportunity to shoot in a stadium, so they took all the guns they wanted to practice with and gather data for and had a good day of shooting. Simple as that. During the game, there will not be a guy on the 50yd line with a .50cal rifle, nor in the overheard.
Ignorant fucking conversations like this are exactly why posting video of such training on the internet is a bad idea. The public is neither mature, nor educated enough to understand what is really going on.
$$$$ is always the issue.
Some of you criticize LE for practicing for potential situations because you feel its unnecessary for whatever reason like it gives them an unfair advantage over you or something retarded like that.
Anyone trolling this thread with stupid comments actually go out and get high/low angle DOPE to see how gravity plays tricks?

There's no win when it comes to LE. Practice and use equipment that people deem "unnecessary" and there's outcry. Make a bad shoot because of inefficient training and equipment and there's outcry for lack of training.
I know. It's a conundrum argument that ignorant poors make all the time.
I trust thier judgment as much as they trust mine.
You people just confirm thier judgment.
I'm in control is all that matters to me, right.
You all sound like gun grabbing Democrats. Herd people up take thier guns, promise protection and pat yourself on the back while spewing self righteous acalades on each other for nothing more important than a game.
Only support 2a on your terms like a politician.

You're still locked in on this gun free zone thing. None of us are even remotely referring to that. I'm with you on the gun free zone thing: they're stupid. It's not a police problem, it's a politician problem. Get out and vote out the commies you disagree with. This thread was just a showcase on learning points regarding high angle stuff.
Having a gun free zone argument about this is ridiculous. The whole area is a soft target and nobody with their pocket pistol is going to change it. Being in an environment with 100,000 drunken fans who essentially hate each other is just a shit show anyhow.
You enter in an environment like that, you have to live with a police presence because its necessary. The easy answer to this is don't go if you don't like police snipers with glass on you.

Ding ding ding
How about my neighborhood.
How would you feel about glass on you or your friends?
Reciprocal? Mutual respect?

If I'm that stadium during an event I wouldn't have a problem with it at all. The hard part would be convincing me to be there in the first place. By glass, I'm also referring to spotting scopes and binos; they're not scanning with rifles.
Yoteski, you're spreading too much common sense.
Ya I don't participate as a soft target iether. Nobody in my family does .
Amazes me people willing to do that when they know what they're worth to the "players" as it were.
I have no delusions about my worth to others.

Thank them for their service? While they willingly violate the 2nd, 4th, etc all the time.
Lol ok
They shouldn’t have any equipment or be able to carry when a “normal “ person can’t. Cops and politicians both.
Ie ccw
Ie assault weapons /stingrays/ 50s/ MGs etc.
Just like the mob they (politicians) cause a problem then demand freedom and treasure to fix it.
Ie terrorist importation and sponsorship
Ie banning ccw than demanding a a bigger budget and more power when crime goes up
What equipment are they using in the video that is not accessible by you or I?
I was talking about all the stuff they have tucked away in their armories. Or stuff like retired cops being able to buy and own “assault rifles” that the tax payer can’t buy.
But to you’re point 50s are banned in Ca and silencers are banned in a pile of states.
Yep, more stupid from one of the usual suspects. It happens every time. A thread starts with some Law Enforcement subject matter and some dipshit turns it sideways. Then, someone like NoLegs24, Terry Cross, JHuskey, or another of us with real-world experience and wisdom instead of just internet "knowledge" comes along and tries to inject a little truth and understanding into the discussion and they get beat up for it, argued with, and accused of violating rights.
Just go away, man. Go be your little armyjerry self somewhere else.
Says the guy who’s tag line is “violating rights”
Go be a “just doing my job” elsewhere.

There is some funny shit in this thread, some laughable, some pure B/S. Not everything is as it seems to the so call,... educated.
Standing by while this thread is promptly redirected to the bear pit where it belongs.... fuck politics.... go talk shit about LE there.
