Topic: Riot police vs Roman soldiers Posted: 22-Nov-2005 at 22:26 |
I don't about other countries but French police can field those armoured vehicle. So they just run over the romans and that's it, the romans will flee-- terrorised by the metallic beasts.

Yea but they are not allowed to run over the anarchists with armoured vehicle or trample them to death.

romans would think the large demonic beasts as demons from the underworld, rally to thier religous faith, and set the beasts to the flame! and shoot them with ballistas.....or open up the doors and destroy the occupants.

Again armoured vehicles are somewhat unfair, I think it should be reduced primarily to riot police on foot against legionaries on foot, I dont think vehicles or roman artillery should be included. Simply riot police with batons, tazers whatever they have their shields and whatever body armour they get + helmet against legionaries face to face.
Again I doubt any riot police unit (the criteria I spelled out) on the planet has an answer to drilled and trained heavy infantry, though I suppose they never had that in mind when they train riot police .

I pick riot police because if their armor can stop some bullets, then it can stop the gladius.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? the kevlar is built to stop bullets, blunt, not sharp, fast moving bullets. kevlar is like tissue paper compared to a sickle sharp gladius. plus, kevlar dosent always work.

If the policemen did not have good enough armor, tehn the Romans would
win. The Romans versus armed policeman would get their butts kicked.

Let's see. Policemen with guns scare the Romans. Romans run away. The End.

C'mon, how would the police be able to kill Roman soldiers with weapons that are nonlethal. That is just biased towards the Romans.

This contest is biased from the off if guns are involved anyway, its like comparing the Roman army to the modern British army and just saying well the British could just get a machine gun ouw and mow them down so the Romans clearly suck or perhaps just throw a few grenades in.

What I am saying is is that there is no way the police and kill Romans
with non-killing weapons. That is the bias of this thread.

Obviously if the police only have nightsticks, the romans would win. But otherwise, the Romans are toast.
I don't think ballistas and bows can beat mp5's.

What if they are U.K. police, are all druids, and are allowed to carry
swords around because of a law there allowing it. Then would they be
allowed to face the Romans?

well the question I was thinking of was could they disable a roman force with non-lethal weaponry?
helmet, shield, baton, teargas grenade/spray, pepperspray/pellets, water cannon, rubber bullet-guns, tasers, netguns, immobilizing foam, stink bombs, and according to wiki, apparently there are now lasers that blind and dazzle rioters, low frequency sound cannons that can cause internal discomfort to rioters, and microwave generators (I don't know how this would be used)
oh and better knowldge of enemy
