The PSNI use 'em. For me they are up there with the AK47 and MP5 as 'death-dealing art'

Special Forces have used the Glock for some time now. |

They have been allowed to pick what they need for decades. Rightly so. Though shame that this procurement has taken so long to be completed. |

Browning was always the brand mentioned in Tintin books. Haddock had one. He was always tooled up, I suspect. |

I'm kind of surprised they didn't go for the 92F to be honest. Quite a lot of NATO's armed forces use them already and there's a drive to standardise equipment to help inter-operability. Something tweaked my mind about that piece the BBC did. They said we'd been using the Browning since the '60's but I thought I'd seen evidence of them before then. Turns out it's a very, very old design indeed. The original version predates WWI and is therefore over 100 years old. I can't imagine there's any other firearm that's been in widespread use for such an extended period of time. I suppose the AK-47 might make it eventually. Yes, it's a thing we'd all much rather we didn't have. But something that's in use consistently round the world for a century? That's a pretty special piece of design. |

It's both brilliant and scary that this site exists (found it looking for info on the '99 Mummy film) http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Main_Page |
