@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor Oh you must be right mate. Quick call the IOPC, tell them you're an expert in firearms and you need to make a complaint about how the police do it.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor I'll take the advice of numerous police firearms instructors over some random internet baby batter flinger.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@barkuspeckers @AVintenAuthor I could, nothing would happen 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor I take it you're former military.

Police firearms training and military firearms training are two very different methodologies.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor You are not a trained professional, and have no idea what you are talking about.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor I can assure you that before they have event to hand over firearms to untrained officers, the firearms are proven to be unloaded.

Part of being an AFO is cleaning and maintaining weapons. I will use the trigger during this to test function, as I know it is unloaded.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor Yes, no magazine, breach flagged.

Proven otherwise.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor Amazing, but not what the MPS use.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor I'm an Authorised Firearms Officer, I know what Im talking about.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor They really can't be inserted incorrectly.

Met Police employ armourers whose it is to maintain weapons, ammo, and to issue them.

No-one is altering ammo or breach flags in the Police. Any damaged ones would be discarded.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor The flag can only be inserted one way.

The flag wouldn't be in use if it was cut.

The flags have no reason to be altered.

There are thousands of those breach flags in the Metropolitan Police, they're all the same.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@JustinKuntz1 @MyNamesGuy Not in the Metropolitan Police.

Rule 1 - ALWAYS establish whether a weapon is loaded or unloaded, whenever you pick it up, hand it to, or take it from any person.

You can use your eyes and brain and figure it out.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor No, you establish if the weapon is loaded or unloaded.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@real_moneyshot @cositsonmyphone @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor Orange plastic insert is a breach flag

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@lotionorhose @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor Probably the first time they held a gun.

And the gun in that condition won't be killing anyone else she beats them to death with it.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@lotionorhose @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor Those people should probably have checked it had no magazine and no round in the chamber.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@lotionorhose @Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor If you know the weapon isn't loaded, you can do what you like with it.

If I clean a rifle, I'll check the trigger functions as it should, and I do so knowing it's safe to do so.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@Lewis_BGA @AVintenAuthor The weapon in that condition is never ready to fire.

[Foxtrot Oscar @Foxtrot_0scar]

@julian_voelcker @AVintenAuthor It's breach flagged, therefore no round chambered.

It has no magazine inserted.

There is no danger in that image.
