[SG2] PA availability, police PA, PA figs

Los spake thusly upon matters weighty:

I know GZG makes some cops (or I think they do) but an entry team with a ram
and a body bunker would be a cool squad. (and of course a couple of snipers
for deployment elsewehere). Even better for the skirmish level game when it
comes out.

As to your comment about helmets, most of the Recce types I've known (and me
too) hate the damn thing. I'd rather have my green beret or my green bushhat
(better at breaking up my head outline and easy to attach netting and
underbrush to). Now, it might be tempting to wear one of the police 'low
profile' vests, but that don't do much for
neck and arms or the groin. A bulletproof, low bulk, high/weat heat
transfer turtleneck would be great.
