I mean, you can't really suppress a Skeleton, and body shots might only break a few pieces off, they won't be irritated by smoke.

Of course, you could just shoot goblins/orcs and stuff - that's fine, but a dragon might need something like a .50 BMG and who's gunna carry an M5 into a basement just to cover a dragon while you arrest them?

The main difference would be all the dying the SWAT team/marines would do.

Idk how Marines would do it. But judging by how much cops shoot normal humans, Id say wed nationally run out of bullets within the first 6 hours of whatever apocalyptic scenario youre dreaming up, TC.

It's more like the apocalypse was successfuly adverted but there's pockets of necromancer resistance cells

Weaponry would change eventually like about 5-10 years after the monsters show up, you'd probably see magitech style weapons such as an ice beam gun on jets or helicopters, also the powerplants that keep them running would also have some magical enhancements.

For the record, SWAT is a civilian outfit, while the Marines are military.
They treat things very differently.

yeah, but they're both front line specialists... and, like, SWAT is still a paramilitary

It would depend on the monsters. You'd really need a special squad of some kind, maybe some form of Monster Squad...

Considering that they're already dead, you'd immediately jump to lethal force. From there it depends on the nature of the skeleton. If you can just destroy the skulls to stop them, that wouldn't be a huge issue. Realistically, you'd probably be best just running them over.

I can't imagine you'd arrest a dragon, but if it was on the ground you could probably disable it with nets or something.

They would need to use more bait and lure traps to determine the monsters' weaknesses.
