When carrying large, high-calibre weapons (SIG MCX or H\&K 416), it is to be stored in your glovebox unless the transport is designated ‘high risk’ by the accompanying police officers. These weapons should only be used when facing similar large weapons, in order to match force (general rule of thumb is to only use it when you see police officers use it if you are unsure).

This is all subject to change. It is your responsibility to check what you are authorized to use.
