Divers working for Swedish tabloid Expressen found the weapon, a Smith & Wesson 357 Magnum revolver, in a lake near Mockfjard in central Sweden on Monday and turned it over to police. Palme investigators have identified the revolver, known as the Mockfjard weapon, as the possible murder weapons because the chemical properties of the bullets used in a 1983 post office robbery matched those of the bullets that killed Palme three years later.

    I dont know, if I would be in the situation of that guy above, I would be glad to wear a helmet...

    Are these guys some sort of SF, maybe a Spezialzug or something? I dont think that normal paras are issued with G36Ks.

    Looks like he's left-handed.

    Could be both Fallschirmjäger or KSK, but given the situation I would think that they would first deploy the KSK...

    Possible. They might as well be paras but then I guess the guy on the right would rather wear a boonie hat than a cap. I've never seen regular Bundeswehr troops wear caps (except Navy personnel).
