  Hi noticed 4 SOC troopers patrolling Somerset in the evening.All are armed with the standard H&K MP5 however their sidearm does not appear to be the standard Taraus revolver.It looks more like a semi-automatic.Any idea what pistol are they using?

  SOC already on the way changing their side arms from taraus to clock 19. its a semi auto pistol.

  Ahz...i see! Good Good...thanks mate!
  Btw...don't see the troopers carrying any mag pouches or anything.If they have MP5,wif a single mag,thats 30rounds...lets say there's 1 in the chamber...30+1.And in the Glock,17+1 thats a total of like 49shots per person.In a patrol of 4 troopers...they have like 196 shots only.Not alot for a firefight...is tt sufficient?

  What kind of firefight would there by here? If you can actually guess how many bullet they have by observing them...I think they are already half a leg in heaven liao.
  
  They still doing those patrols in orchard area etc meh btw? Hadent seen them in serangoon sgns for sometime liao.

  I suppose it's sufficent.
  Their Objective is to deter terrorist acts and be the eyes of Police force.
  
  CAnnot be 30+1 round scenario....i can't imagine that!
