Of course they are better trained but they still strap 2 or 3 magazines together. They also pack more ammo just in case. When you are in a warzone you will definitely run out of ammo when you are on autofire with each magazine carrying just about 30 rounds. The speed of reload can be the difference between life and death.

But they dont tape the catridges together like ours does, yet they're still swift..

well like u said, ours lack proper training..

It’s called “jungle style”. Security agents use the tape to hold multiple magazines together so they can easily change magazines on the battlefield. Foreign militaries do it, particularly the British and the Americans, and that’s where Nigerians learned it from.

But the stuff comes with its own problems, like increasing the weight and height of the gun, which makes it hard to shoot when lying down, causing weight imbalances, which leads to the front of the gun being heavier than the back, and causing dust to enter the ammo upside-down, which may cause it to jam when it is inserted into the gun.

That’s why many foreign militaries have moved away from it and provided easy-to-access jackets for their men instead. Many foreign militaries also moved to smaller ammo and lighter and shorter rifles, which will become imbalanced, inaccurate, and unpractical if a solider or police officer ever tapes two ammo together. But Nigerian security agents still do it anyway since their weapons are heavier. Besides, most rarely move around with more than two ammo, so they just tape them together, even when they have a jacket to hold the other ammo.

I should add that many overdo it to look cool, like the pictures of those SARS guys up there. The taped ammo on their guns has no practical use and could endanger their lives in a gunfight. They can't shoot those weapons while lying down. It is bad practice to use colored tapes too since it could give off their position to the enemy. Black tape is always the best. Taping more than two ammo together also makes the gun super-heavy, which will make it inaccurate.

The standard taping method is to have the magazines side-by-side with one facing up and the other facing the ground. Another method (which is the better one) is to have both facing up, but you'll need to put something in between them, maybe a small, light piece of wood, so that both magazines do not touch. Some magazines even come with clamps these days to allow soldiers and police attach magazines side-by-side.

Knowing our police I am sure we will find those are empty magazines.

To hold double cartherage of bullets incase they came face to face with action shooters they will not run out of bullets in time.
2 is better than 1🤣🤣

Cartridge wer no reach 5 5 rounds each

They do use it as a recognition badge..

Sometimes police operate without uniforms. That badge is what they do use for recognitions during such scenarios..

Chemlite:
I'm a bit astonished seeing our uniform men with guns wrapped with cellotape, if not all, almost 99.1%. I always look away till I was asked by my neighbour's 5yrs old daughter.

I promise to give her reply. What's the use of it?

Your input will be a great relieve.

you are very foolish I swear.... And u even used ur neighbors daughter to lie 🤥

braunny:

I don't get it. In the post I admit I 've seen but wasn't bothered until a 5yrs old girl asked. I also stated how I promised to get back to her.

So what is foolish here or when did seeking for answers for something you don't know become foolish?
AnyWay, you get big problem!

what's foolish is u saying u already know the answer and not asking for sake of reasonable replies

Can you point out where I said that?

Of course. Even the one in the gun could be empty. That's for sure.

I'm not. I actually researched into it a few years ago. Around 2011/2012 I believe cos I had interest in joining the Police/military then but later changed my mind. Or let's say, life took its course.

I should have known better haha. The Nigerian police and army would not have wanted you in their ranks because your written English is too polished. If you are fluent in the Brokenese dialect, or at the very least are able to repeat key phrases like "Park well" and "How for weekend?" then you qualify to become a soldier or policeman in Nigeria.

In short, police no like grammar man. Army sef no like grammar man.
