A lot of folks may not remember the short lived S.W.A.T TV show, but the movie remake comes out this summer...Check out the light on the AR in the poster: SWAT movie poster

Cool artwork, although D-Platoon doesn't use Millennium series lights, last I heard...

There was a tv show in 1975 and 1976 season that depicted a SWAT team in LA. If I remember right. Looks like a movie based on the old TV show.

Yes, it starred Steve Forrest, the late Robert Urich, and others that I do not recall. I used to watch that every Friday.

And you're right, Dano... D-teamers don't use the Millenium MU series of weaponlights on their M4's. They do, however, use the SF series of weaponlights on their MP5's and Benelli's. As a side note, it was the 1984 Olympics and L.A. SWAT's request to have a light mounted to their Colt 1911's that started the L.A. trend to having light mounted firearms. (Although the concept itself started long before that, dating back to WWII.)

That is cool Dano.

I never did get to see that episode of COPS that had a certain esteemed member on it. If we knew when it was going to air again, I'll bet one of our techno-gurus could get an image.

I remember the triangle foreend M-16's and the stock Colt 1911's and that big van that said SWAT on the side.

I don't remember what flashlights they used, probably Kel-lites or Mag-lites. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
