Not only are revolvers more reliable than automatics in the right hands they are also very accurate. GIGN uses the MR-73 revolver (either the .44 magnum w/ 8in or .357 magnum w/ 10in barrel) and according to them a good shot can hit a 4cm wide disk at 100m. The compactness of the setup is another factor in using the revolver instead of an FR-F1.Originally Posted by elguapo

Some of the operators are making the switch to semi-autos for their high capacity. The GSG-9 learned that lesson in Mogadishu in '77.
LOL a scoped shotgun!
The shotgun may be scoped for firing slugs, although the barrel is quite short.
The big photos are promo shots made for French RAIDS-magazine, best military-themed magazine around. It was an article on 25 years of GIGN, and it had a photo essay about the equipment they use. If I had a scanner, I'd post the pics. But alas, I don't.forget the sniper pistol...
