MP5A3 in Windsor. They demoed a G36C at a display not long ago though, not sure how used it is for sure.

Yes, please give me some proof. I can look out my window and see the ERT training facility as im typing this.

Not proof, but I found this on the Seals Action Gear site regarding a multicam holster - perhaps I misread.

"This holster will fit a variety of popular handguns, including the SIG 226/220, Glock 17/22/etc., Beretta 92F (M9), Colt 1911 (and variants) and also the S&W 5946 used by the RCMP, whose ERT units requested that we have this holster built in Crye Multicam for their tactical field units."

Why would the RCMP need Multicam unless they're airsofting?

Interesting! I'm new to the whole Multicam thing and wasn't aware that it was used by law enforcement agencies.

I decided I needed a new, other than generic black SWAT, uniform and Multicam might be the way to go. I've researched other types (MARPAT, CADPAT, ACU, etc.) but multicam is both sexy and seemingly effective. At first, I was considering ACU; however, I've read that it's not as effective for a number reasons. Any opinions?

[Farmboy]

Yes, RCMP does use Multicam.

No, I can't (won't) give you proof.

[gunscythe]

I won't provide proof. Feel free to believe what you want.

[Moz]

RCMP uses nylon stockings.

No, I can't (weee) give you proof.

Does anyone know what the Toronto ETF uses? Are there any Canadian SWAT teams that use the XM177?

[swatt13]

the calgary ert must use it. they came down to brooks to take care of a crazed gun man, a picture was taken and they were in the background, they were wearing multicam, i was so stoked i was going to cut it out and pin it on my wall, but they were too far away and it really wasnt a wall worthy picture aside from the fact they were wearning mc. lol

[DC_ACU]

woo finally i can rest atease about putting my canadian patches on my MC loadout

[Sergeantmajor]

i think i saw a show about the toronto ERT.

They were wearing those CF helmets but in black. im not sure, it was a while ago, saw it on History channel or something.

I work security at a downtown Toronto bank. One Sunday I saw this woman get pulled over by this big black Chevy suburban with flashing blue and red. Then I saw these guys getting out and they looked damn serious wearing shades and full body armour lol. One guy approached the woman in the car. Then they all drove off with no one being arrested.

Maybe she was his wife and wanted to say hello! lmao

I think "standard" is not applicable here, because it's like saying "what does a standard motorcycle racer use". Uh - lots of things.

I've seen
MP-5A3 - the standard
MP5SD3 - one of these
M4A1 - another standard
M16-style
and for special occasions:

M82 Barrett .50 cal
different variations of sniper guns
night vision scopes on sniper guns (different types)

For what they wear, it's usually:

-Standard black, with specially sewn matt-black patches

or

- Multicam

or

- Their choice of camo or Ghillie suit

All these things I mention I've touched and handled, so I know it's not heresay.

they wouldn't use CF helmets they sit to high on your head, the ones the ETF use hug there head and the sides come down over there ears offering better head protection
