[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Its 1980 & you're assigned to the W. German Kriminalpolizei to hunt down DDR/USSR Agents. What gun? (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 12/15/2016 6:53:32 AM EST

You got three choices for the most part.

Walther P5

Sig Sauer P6

HK P7

Or do you say fuck it and go rogue and carry something else since you're cool as fuck and carry a Hi-Power, CZ-75, Beretta 92, S&W 39, etc...?

I'd go with the Walther P5. It doesnt have a shit trigger like the HK and Sig.

I went with the P7. I would rather have the P7M8 series than the PSP.

Sig b/c it's the closest to what I carried at work.

P6, I had one as my first carry gun. Still miss it.

Hence why "Other, Explain". Kriminalpolizei didn't issue BHPs. If you read the post I even stated go rogue and carry something else.

Clearly you didn't read which means you did pass the Kriminalpolizei entrance exam.

How has no one gotten this right yet. 1911, because when I shoot the commie spies I want to do it with 0.45" of America.

I was in Germany in 1980. Everyone was worried about the security of the arms rooms so terrorist and the Bader Meinfof gang couldn't get any weapons. I pointed out one time that all they had to do was wait for us to go on an FTX. Since we were not allowed to carry any small arms ammo, the Red Brigade could have used a .22 and held up the entire 3rd Infantry Division and stolen any weapon they wanted.

Martin Rauch is recruited by the HVA to infiltrate the West Germany army. As a rookie spy, his decisions constantly put his cover at risk
and force his agency to take extreme measures.

I go with the SIG. In the 80's the West German police (and military I think) carried the SIG. These guns were made by Germans during a time when they thought they were about to be steamrolled over by Soviet tanks at any moment. They had to make them as if their lives depended on it. Literally.

Plus when the P226 has a can on it you know somebody is going to have a bad day.

You'll use whatever you're issued. If you were working with the Federal agencies it most likely would have been the P7. The majority of the State police departments issued the P6, a few using the P7 and even fewer the P5. Almost no European police agencies allow their officers any discretion on what they carry.

Speak for yourself, peon. At the GLG-20 level, anything goes. We had take-down Dragunovs with Maglights clamped on them that shot bullets made out of frozen cow liver. We had angle-head flashlights and 1911s shooting BIGOTs. We had sonic, electronic, ballbreakers.

P6 was my first 9mm handgun. It was like a laser in my hand. I immediately lost interest in my 1911 and began lusting after a 226. I sold the P6 and 1911 to fund the W.German 226 I bought.
