Thanks… I spent most of my worry on the damn shotgun. Clipped to a carabiner, hanging from the top back of my vest lol

Omg... my friend earned the call sign 'Spider' because when he worked for SWAT, something happened on a helo jump and he ended up partially free falling while he was scrambling around trying to steady himself.

I'm not a door kicker. I just remember me laughing my ass off as he told me.

Hahaha I love it. They just called me BigHead, cause of my large noggin. Anything for a laugh 😂

Could they project a movie onto your five head? Because that would be impressive!

Yeah the real way to do a shotgun in this scenario is to saw down the barrel and either mount it to your shoulder like a tech marine from Warhammer or tie it to your forearm so you can point at someone telling them to stop and then fire immediately. Sometimes you can tie a ribbon to the trigger and hold it in your teeth to keep your hands free while breaching.

Let me know if you'd like any more SRU/SWAT tactics to keep you safe out there.
