Best Answer

FBI agents are normally armed with handguns, shotguns, and nonlethal weapons. Units tasked with special operations may carry automatic weapons and nonlethal anti-personnel weapons such as flash grenades, and used armored vehicles. For many years, standard issue FBI handguns were .38 caliber revolvers, and where authorized 9mm and .45 caliber semi-automatic pistols. The current handgun is the Glock 22 .40 caliber, now widely used in law enforcement.

How is the FBI dangerous?

Like any elite police force, the FBI carries weapons. Their weaponry ranges from semi-automatic pistols, pump shotguns, fully automatic assault rifles and, in extreme circumstances, grenade launchers (usually used to launch tear gas or flashbang grenades into buildings). And, like any police force with weapons, there is always the chance of collateral damage, as in a chance of someone getting killed accidentally. Their priority is to protect the innocent and those who cannot protect themselves. However, unfortunately, there is the rare occasion where an innocent member of the public gets caught in the crossfire between the FBI and criminals.


Is it an FBI or a FBI?

It would be "an" before FBI (an FBI investigation, an FBI agent), because FBI is pronounced "eff-bee-eye."The indefinite article an is used whenever the following spoken sound is a vowel sound, or is very similar to one, notably H sounds. (The word historical is one of several words that may use either a or an.)When you use FBI as a noun, it is neither of the above, and you'd say, "the FBI". The FBI is a specific government agency and not countable. So it is "the FBI" unless you are using FBI as an adjective, then the above rules would apply.Examples:John is an FBI agent.John works for the FBI.
