[QUOTE="Kheti sa-Menik, post: 3913073, member: 22721"] Actually, I'd argue that every SWAT team should have at least one. The guy wearing the UAS (Urban Assault Suit) has as part of the frame a motorized battering ram. He's the first one on the door, he takes the door down and steps inside. Bad guy starts shooting, and sees this badass looking Terminator-like figure that steps inside and shrugs off his small caliber rounds. The UAS officer's job is to shield the next officer (wearing standard SWAT body armor and gear) as he comes through the door. That second SWAT member is the one that can put down the bad guy (either permenantly or with nonlethal means) The UAS officer would also be responsible for putting himself between any hostage and bad guy. The UAS would become involved in actual combat only when necessary since he's more of a broadsword instead of a scalpel. A melee attack is liable to kill without meaning to. Although, honestly, should the criminal shoot at this officer, the criminal has lost his right to nonlethal combat. [/QUOTE]
