Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Mounties) Emergency Responce Teams
These guys were responsible for all of the Canadian Anti-Terrorist duties until JTF2 took over in 1993. They are comparable to FBI HRT, GIGN, GSG9.

I've seen most of those pix before. At least all of the rappelling ones.

The bow and arrow...friggin' Canadians.

In the proper hands that could be more effective than a gun. It makes no noise, therefore preventing the person from hearing it, and they are extremely powerful. Why do you think they use them to hunt big game?

If your idea of "big game" is a defenseless deer...then yeah. If you want to hunt elephants (what I call "big game" :D ) then you use the biggest f*cking gun you can find. :cantbeli:

I wonder though...does the Bow come with an Elcan sight? Aim Point maybe? :lol: And how about the arrows? Hollow Point? :D

[Merik]

Wow Mounties have big guns???What happened to all the horses??Lol just j/k. :P rofl

[He219]

EvanLoyd, I thought you said that these guys are RCMP Emergency Responce Teams. Why would they be hunting game unless they are responding as game control? You know they make silenced MP5's and Sniper Rifles. A crossbow would make more sense if an arrow is preferred. They do mount scopes on Crossbows.

Ironically my cousin is in RCMP special teams and she joked about getting an arrow in the butt while countering those restless Indians a while back....

It was just sooo funny in context with:

They are comparable to FBI HRT, GIGN, GSG9.

Ever noticed that some British soldiers carry crossbows on operations?

????????? When?

[FallenAngel]

yeah...ya know. They make a hit look like a hunting accident with an arrow...

...although I don't know how believable that would be in a war zone :D

[Loke]

Hm, I've seen bears and elk hit with broadhead arrows, and they took forever to die.
One bear was trapped in a top of a tree and shot three times, the arrows naild it to the tree-trunk, but the bear had to be dispatched with a 357mag. revolver after over an hour of bleeding.
The arrow creates no shock effect when it hits, so the wound channel is pretty small compared to what a high velocity bullet makes.

[andyrew_21]

i think under the right circumstances, a bow could be a very useful and effective weapon.

[GLax]

while we're on the subject of bows, you have to remember 'big game' animals are all bigger than people, so comparing a person getting hit with a bow to a bear doesnt really make sence. i bow hunt, and a bow is extremely powerful, i have a reflex magnum, i get 360 feet per second, whicked speed for a bow...

didnt anyone here about that person that got killed with a bow down in Penn.? went rite through his head...

imho, there is no reason to be toting a bow/crossbow around for military or police duty in todays modern world when superior alternatives abound (unless there's a budget crunch).
i posted a suppressor related response in the gear forum.

All im saying..........

Your an idiot, a weapon is a weapon......heck during 1876 in Japan the Samurai's styll fought the Japanese Army and defeated many, yet the Japanese Army had rifles and Samurai's swords. And back in the day they Rifles were the superior alternatives.

Same goes wit the Natives in the North America.....

a WEAPON is a WEAPON....

wtf does that mean? in what context? it's about as relevant as saying a squirrel is a squirrel.

yeah. and that's why they were defeated.

to test out your supposition we should create a company of volunteers called the military photos freemen. their motto could be "a weapon is a weapon". you could lead them. they should be individually armed with the latest "tactical" spoon, fire support should be provided with bows and arrows. recon could be done by the guys from the airsoft forum. after 2 days of itensive spoon based hand2hand training (at the closest kindergarten), our brave men shall be deployed to either the mountains of chechnya, eastern congo or downtown tikrit as a show of force. i'll buy the band aids.

what was my point? er... oh yeah. a WEAPON is a WEAPON does not mean all weapons are equal. so why would you hump around a friggin bow that rattles, gets snagged on everything and has the most god awkward shape when you could pack a suppressed firearm that is far more compact, consistently more accurate, has longer range, more knockdown power, has faster follow up shots and on and on? unless your canadian of course.

[marktigger]

yes but a bow and arrow or a crossbow is more ecology friendly and does value native peoples history and traditions. :P

[Salty Dog]

so how about that movie dances with wolves, huh? yeah thats right, dancing......with....wolves. p-)

[simple jumper]

[unless your canadian of course.[/quote]

What the hell was that suppose to mean. I have nothing agaisnt Yanks but when some retard brings up a stupid coment about origins like that it pisses the **** out of me. "In what context?" well as a whole your not the brightest country, as individuals you can be great, but maw just proved that sometimes its also the individuals who are complete retards. so maw way to go! you made all Yank look absolutely simpleton like. :slap:

[Haiw]

Paratrooper, in case you haven't noticed on the first page it showed a canuck with a crossbow...

[Minjin]

The whole argument about the bow is kinda retarded, guys....who is to say what the pic is actually of? Maybe it is some law enforcement competition or something. The fact is, we have a pic (and a pretty good one in my opinion) and a bunch of people shooting off their mouths without all the facts. On both sides. Lets all shake hands, grab up our bows, and go hunt some scum. :hug:

[maw]

paratrooper, i was just goofin. it was meant as a dig at the bow and arrow photo. i lived outside toronto for a while when i was a kid. canada is a great place. unless you mean quebec of course.

[TriggerPuller]

The use of Bows(usually cross) is not the most effective way of taking out a human target. The velocity is too low to have an immediate kill effect(in most cases) and a person will generally have to bleed out. One who is hit with a bolt(as is the name for crossbow arrows) will probably have enough time to warn or yell out after he has been hit. Suppressor is the correct terminology for a "silencer" and is better suited for taking out sentries or dogs or Geese, you dont have to be as close and can take multiple shots from a relatively safe hide. Shot placement in a situation as this would be most important and cannot be as easily accomplished with a Bow. Just my .02 worth

MaCV-SOG - pull your tampon out, the joints starting to reek.
am i the recipient of all this love 'coz i think it' s goofy for some canuck to go to war with a bow?
or is it because of "unless you mean quebec of course"? you know something about quebec? i get pulled over for taking a right at a red (which is fine everywhere else in canada but a no-no in quebec). the sadass cop refused to even talk to me in english, not a word. that attitude is pervasive in quebec the minute you open your mouth and say something in "american".

[Barebow]

The Compound Bow is developt by the US Army in the period of the Vietnam war !!! and with the rambo movies it get very popular by the bow hunters and target shooters .
When hiting the right zone on the body its instand dead!!!
A well trained Compound shooter shoots at 90 meters in the size of a donnut with o bow set on 60 pounds ! you can put more pounds to it for a faster fleight but thats not leagal on a match here in the Netherlands! but for militairy use you can put some more weight to it and the right broadheads its a sillent killer p-)
http://home.wanadoo.nl/barebow/barebow/images/KIF_0349sm.JPG
(this is not a Compound bow but a Fred Bear Super Kodiak hunting bow)

At this moment the Compound bows are faster then a Crossbow the crossbow has more pounds behind the arrow but is not faster !

[(this is not a Compound bow but a Fred Bear Super Kodiak hunting bow)

Developed during Vietnam War? Iam not going to dispute this for it may be true but I doubt it.
Where are your statistics for "instant dead" that is just utter bull**** and false information.
What military do you know that uses Bows and is allowed to put more weight to it? Stick to facts dude and not speculation. Freakin morons around here!

TP
Oh and BTW the "Fred Bear Super Kodiak" bow is called a recurve.

[Haiw]

Well instant death should be possible when you hit someone in the head or the heart with an arrow. There might be some other areas in the body like kidney or anything like that, but I'm not sure about it. However, it's not like bows are the most easy thing to drag around and use...

I was cruising CF Combat Camera and I found some pics from OP NANOOK of boarding party. I noticed they were using different equipment than that of boarding parties i've seen (on tv/intarwebs). I emailed Combat Camera and just got a reply.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police ERT (Emergency Response Team) board the HMCS Toronto, simulating a civilian vessel, as part of Operation NANOOK.

Operation NANOOK is a Canada Command sovereignty operation, taking place in Canada's arctic waters. Ranging from Iqaluit on Baffin Island to the Hudson Straits area, the operation will include joint co-operation from Army, Navy, and Air Force units, training Canadian Forces personnel to support other government departments. In close cooperation with the Coast Guard and RCMP, operations such as NANOOK increase inter-department effectiveness, in addition to bolstering Canada's presence in her northern territories.

Great photo's of the RCMP. Thanks.

Great pictures. Good to know there are people protecting our waters.

[LoboCanada]

I just have one question. Why dosen't the navy send boarding parties instead of the RCMP? IS there some sort of jurisdictional issue where the RCMP has to? Or is it a matter of who is closer?

[redhawk_six]

Really. Never have I seen any CF members use the surefire M500a on their carbines.

Or PSP load bearing vests with velcro/dot attachment systems, or RCMP 'POLICE' panels. The kit is exactly the same as the local ERT team here. Only difference is the marine specific kit.

[len173]

That's not the RCMP, that's JTF-2


It's RCMP ERT. The equipment is RCMP, and the captions say it's ERT. It says it's simulating a civillian vessel. So odds are they are getting some training for operations on large civillian vessels.

I can't speak for the Mounties, but being a full time recruiter i can say that Op Podium hasn't pulled our staff, yet.
