    From the thrillers I've read the Glock is the side arm version of the AK-47, cheap and reliable...

      The Ministry of Defence has signed a £9m contract to provide the Armed Forces with more than 25,000 new side-arms and holsters from Austria's Glock
      Not that long ago another famous Austrian was mad keen on replacing all our rifles with Mausers.

        No chance of starting a war now. Before that happens you would need massive unemployment...

          Being an expert on these matters (Call of Duty etc.), a pistol is the last thing you want. Stick with two big machine guns, say a PKP PECHENEG with a MK46 as backup

                Or for shooting Afghans in uniform.

                  They are very small and light (mostly plastic). and easy to control. Admittedly I don't have masses of experience firing guns, but these are certainly the easiest to shoot handgun I have used. The one I shot had a "red dot" type site on and you couldn't really go wrong with it.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    Speaking from experience, when under fire and the rifle runs out of ammo its quicker to draw your sidearm than reload.
