Easy guys, that's why I asked. As far as scenarios, providing cover for a special response force boarding a ship that has terrorists coming into a port. I know that's the primary responsibility of the Coast Guard, but if they aren't close enough.... Another would be a tanker truck full of fuel flying down a highway with good intel that it's going to crash into a school. And you have no conventional way of stopping it and you have managed to clear traffic. I'm not trying to start a flame war. Again, that's why I asked. Hell, the SWAT team here has a tank with an M60 on it. I assume they have a reason. Another would be heavily armed drug smugglers that have lightly armed officers pinned down in the middle of the desert. The smugglers have AKs, and the officers have 9mm handguns. If your in an aircraft, avoiding fire I doubt your scoped weapon would be very effective while your pilot evades. I could go on, but I am NOT a leo. I just want to know if it may be a viable option. So far it's 2 who think I'm fucking insane. Fair enough. But that's why I asked.
