Cool

Skymarshals have already been recruited into the APS, which is the security side of the AFP.

To be run and trained by a couple of very reicent EX SAS senior NCOs.

I belive, but as yet unconfirmed that even one of our very own Pruners may be involved, any comment K.

I do think that many here would be plesantly surprised by the tactics and weapons used by these officers, including very low velocity bullets and non leathal incapacitation devices. I don't belive that all the info will be released to the public, but am very sure that an appropriate and blunt demo will be made and shown to the public in the very near future.

Now, no system of weapons on aircraft is perfect, but I certinaly give this one a big thumbs up.
