What is wrong with GIGN? If it's not their antiquated revolvers it's their ridiculous helmets. Why can't they just be a normal elite tactical unit?

Getting shot in the face isn't cool yo
This isnt a new thing. How else you gonna get a good sight picture with a large visor?
>inb4 tall riser
Just don’t wear the visor like basically 95% of all other special tactics police units.
If they took that off, would they die?
It would be extremely painful…
They're big guys
for vou
Underated. But you forgot an S.
It's "vous".
>their antiquated revolvers
The GIGN's revolver was specifically selected for it's longevity.
The GIGN have a rule that they have to shoot their service pistol every single day they are working.
The Manurhin MR73 was selected because it's high quality and high durabiity.
What other SF / Counter-terror unit have to shoot their guns every single fricking day? Answer : none.
GIGN has pretty high requirements, of their officers and their equipment.
There's a reason for their reputation.
Also, the French Police / GIGN forces have access to more modern guns than the ones this thread tries to portray.
Here's a list of guns they can rock
Handguns :
-Glock 17
-Glock 26
-Glock 18
-Smith & Wesson 340PD
Submachine guns
-HK MP5
-FN Herstal P90
Assault Rifles
-HK 416
-HK G36
-Sig Sauer 551
-SCAR L
"Support Weapons"
-SAIGA 12
-MOLOT VEPR
-Benelli M4 Super 90
-Kel-Tec KSG
Machine Guns:
-FN Minimi
Precision Rifles :
-HG G36 KV (Sniper)
-HK 417
-SCAR H
-PGM Ultima Ratio
-Sako TRG 42
-PGM Hecate II
There a full list.

It's about the French Police (RAID) less well known but essentially does the same job .
(GIGN is "Gendarmerie" which is Military personel doing (remote) Police work. RAID is the actual Police Anti-Terror unit.)
Wow what a cringe post. Are you too a gigny police man?
Equally cringe, French special forces are India tier garbage. Infact did anyone see the video where they were all lined up looking into a shop and they open up and nearly all shoot each other.
Really really unprofessional to be honest.
Congratulations ! You evolved in a rare species of captain chromosome ! You try to learn "iq" but you are too many bullshit in your brain and you will soon die because of your incest nature
All our cops are fricking bastards traitor macarons' dick holster but its cool they have p90, i didnt know.
these visors are common on continental SWAT/CTU units from my cursory research. from France to Russia.
You go tell them that, bud
I hate, and always will hate, those stupid fricking helmets.
That visor is common. My department also uses similar visors that clamp onto our existing helmets for special circumstances where explosives or dangerous chemicals are to be potentially expected.
the one context where a ballistic visor, extra armor coverage and frag suits is 100% practical is counter terrorism.
Your concept of “special forces” is moronic.
just don't use the thing for the thing it's for. Gotcha.
Irrelevant glorified police teams
>oi gaz, how much explodey-podey do i put on the breachy-squeechy?
>i don't fricking know baz just put all of it on and hurry up about it the snooker is on the telly at six bong
Neither French nor German elite tactical units have actually seen any action beyond kicking down some biker gang members' doors in the middle of the night in many, many years.
It's fairly common for any fighting unit that doesn't see real combat to have their doctrine and equipment slowly mutate towards the moronic.
The use of shields and protective gear sure helped during the Bataclan attack. Your ideal of a high speed low drag for all ops operator would have been swiss cheese.
nah bro just high speed clear it like in my cqb youtube seminars
Why are they carrying two Glocks a piece? Is that for a New York reload?
Why is the coupled mag backwards? That seems so much slower.
Why are they all touching their nipples?
>Why are they carrying two Glocks a piece
SOP for shield users, sweetie. Because reloading takes two hands and one hand is on the shield.
>Neither French nor German elite tactical units have actually seen any action beyond kicking down some biker gang members' doors in the middle of the night in many, many years
What do think these police units are there for? The frenchies are GIGN, a military unit doing police and ct-stuff, and the germans are either SEK or GSG9, both are literally police units.
>Neither French nor German elite tactical units have actually seen any action beyond kicking down some biker gang members' doors in the middle of the night in many, many years.
LMAO what a load of bull.
What is the Bataclan Terror attack?
The Mohamed Merrah Attacks?
Or the Marigniane Airport Assault / Flight operation?
Charlie Hebdo terror attack?
Hypercacher kosher supermarket siege?
When you don't know shit about a subject, you should certainly shut the frick up, or at the very least do a basic google search you massive muppet
This is a little selection of notable terror attacks on french soil.
I could pull a really long list of terror attacks the French forces have dealt with in the last 10 years.
Stupid ignorant motherfrickers should sometimes just shut up.
fricking burger moron
The GIGN intervenes more than 200 times per year in France alone.
They conducted the most crazy hostage rescue of all times in 1994 to save the passengers of Air France flight 8969.
They pioneered so many things like simultaneous sniper fire or fast roping from helicopters you're most probably in awe at some operators tricks and pro moves that emanated from the brain of GIGN founder Christian Prouteau in the 70s.
Why are there so many idiots like this on /k/?
>why can't [the French] just be normal
idk
The fact that they're still trying to innovate and not rest on their laurels, gets a clear respects from me.
Black person when you can snipe 4 terrorists in a school bus full of kids with a revolver you can talk shit about GIGN
I always chose gign skin and famas/mp5 with sig p228 on cs:s
Cause they are better than you anon.
Germans operate on a level beyond normal comprehension.
>their antiquated revolvers
>Manurhin MR73
Where do you think you are?
That's a nice stock though. You can press a button and trust it back into a more normal stock.
you honestly have no idea what your talking about
keep the visor shield, add an augmented reality layer inside so you can see where the gun is aiming
shoot around corners
booba
That stock is designed for combat in small corridor and in city, the fact that they never had to bend their head or body to keep eye focus on target, this stock is very effective for the type of mission where you have no space and minimal space requirement. They can constantly be head straight and aim without moving
