Yeah it actually takes a bit to qualify for the firearms unit in the UK, most of the time they are seen protecting sensitive areas like airports or tourist hot spots with their MP5s. Other than that they are a response unit with rifles shields and shotguns in the boot of the cars, what they have depends on their designated role in the firearms unit and what the situation calls for.

It cracks me up whenever I watch a British TV show and a cop says “get an armed unit on scene now”
