In 1989, Heckler & Kock were looking for a successor to the P7 handgun. They were looking for something which was still small and reliable - perfect for law enforcement. Within four years, the USP was finished. Three different varieties were available, the most recent of which was the .45 cartridge version. This was used by the expert assassin Desh, who was called upon to kill Bourne in Bourne Ultimatum. The USP's greatest talking point is its ability to be converted to specific needs, through trigger adjustments. The smart black polymer frame is impressively solid, and is integral to its remarkable durability. It's still manufactured today, which is a testament to its excellence - even if it is still a relatively young pistol. Check out the .45 bullet link!!

All modern police forces need high-quality, effective and reliable firearms to deal with various situations, ranging from arresting a suspect to controlling a terrorist. In the UK police hardly ever carry firearms, whereas in America they are virtually essential. The Glock 22, for example, is often seen as a perfectly-adapted weapon for law enforcment, as is the SIG Sauer P220 - they're lightweight, trusty and easy to conceal. Since 9/11, the threat from terrorists has grown around the world, and more firepower is required to prepare for the possibilities of an attack. Special police forces have also been introduced in recent years, such as bomb disposal squads; these groups can deal with anything from crisis situations to recently-discovered mines from previous wars.
