How many Glock 17s can you spot in that picture?

It has a blue tag attached to it through its lanyard hole, which I presume is a repair tag.

In other news, French police Glocks have lanyard holes. You can see one also in the Glock on the far left as well. Hard to tell on the closest Glock.

Lanyard grips on some of the Sigs too.They just love their lanyards.

One under the "C" bottom right.

Ok, that is seriously awesome. FN/FAL with a grenade launcher?

No idea about the grenade launcher part, although that seems a reasonable guess, but the rifle is a HK G3 or variant. Looks like a sniper version with the adjustable buttstock.

Someone finally got a picture of Kirk walking to the office!

I just came accross that picture ...

With the following caption "Austrian Glock 17 guns are seen as a French National Police Intervention Group member stands in the gun room[FONT=&amp]".

[/FONT]It's probably from a "gun expert" journalist/photographer.

I see a bunch of Sig SP2022s, Glock 26s, maybe a Glock 19 at the bottom (unless it's acually a 17?).

The 26 missing its rear sight is tagged out! Lol

I checked with CNN and MSNBC. Those are all Glocks or AR 15s.

Good to see the Sig SP2022 contract being utilized.

I think those are all automatic AK-47s

Actually that unit doesn't use their Sig, I always see them with Glocks.


I believe every officer still get a Sig even if they are in a special unit that issue another type of handgun.

Is it just me or does it seem the European LEO cats always seem to be wearing the eye hole masks...

I don't know about other countries, but in France members of units who deal with anti-terrorism have their identify protected by law.
It's illegal to show their faces or reveal their names.

So they usually wear masks, if they don't journalists have to blur their faces.

Only some high ranking officers, who are at head of those units and therefore well known dont't get blurred.

They are not your average local SWAT unit.I'm sure there is the same kind of privacy around specials units in the US like Navy SEALS or whatnot.

And yes they use belt-fed machine guns ...
