The only European cops that don't wear a hand firearm are British bobbies, which are more of a mix of traffic cop and good Samaritan.quote:
I can't say that ALL do, but I can tell you that some of the polizei that I have seen here in Germany do indeed carry guns.
German Polizei, including KRIPO, Landpolizei, and Autobahnpolizei are all armed. At German airports and in big cities you will see Bundsgrenzschutz (border patrol) and task force units armed with, depending on situation, any of those puppies:
Glock 17 (cal 9 x 19 mm)
P7 M8 (cal 9 x 19 mm)
Heckler & Koch MP5
Modell 551 - SWAT (SIG) (cal 5,56 x 45 mm)
Modell Styer Aug (Stgw 77) Steyr (cal 5,56 x 45 mm))
G 36
PSG 1 (cal 7,62 x 51 mm)
Heckler & Koch G8 (cal 7,62 x 51 mm)
HK 502 cal 12
Remington M 870 cal 12/76
Benelli M 3
Is that enough fire power for y'all?
