Cops with guns

Lived near Gatwick for the last 20 years at certain times of the year and after certain incidents there were armed police with sub-machine guns (MP5's at a guess). Passing through Gatwick and there was one officer with what was probably an assault rifle (my Call of Duty eye says it looked a bit like a M16 - but I am probably wrong in that).

When did armed police start carrying assault rifles? as far as I could see he was the only one with that type of weapon, others were carrying smaller guns.
