I made a suggestion for a Japanese RATS squad which will likely take a long time for the mods to get to it so I will place a very brief/rough version of it with there APC suggestion to collect some ideas for future SWAT team suggestions.
R.A.T.S Squad
The RATS which is a specialized armed unit of the Prefectural police part of the KidΕtai (ζ©ει, Riot Police) system. There job is riot control and crowd suppression, responding to armed or barricaded suspects, providing counter-terrorism support at the prefectural level, securing major public events, and conducting high-risk police operations beyond the capacity of regular patrol officers. Functionally, RATS acts as a hybrid unit: it operates as riot police during incidents of mass disorder, while shifting to a tactical firearms role when confronting armed threats. Although RATS is neither a military force nor Japanβs national counter-terrorism unit (a role held by the Special Assault Team, SAT), it is among the most heavily equipped and capable units within the prefectural police system.
Common possible weapons:
New Nambu M60 / M60A

SIG Sauer P230 / P232
Heckler & Koch MP5 series
Heckler & Koch MP5SD
Howa Type 89
37mm riot launchers - Any fun ammo?
Vehicle
F-3 Special Security Vehicle (ηΉεθ¦εθ» F-3ε)

Role:
- Class: Armored support / protected transport
- Protection: Resistant to small arms and fragmentation
- Armament: Likely limited to small-arms firing ports (crew weapons)
- Mobility: Truck-based, moderate speed
- Strengths: Urban survivability, infantry protection
- Weaknesses: Light armor compared to military APCs, large profile
