Shotguns are not a offical weapon of the British armed forces which does seem abit silly when you what abit more firepower than a 9mm but don't want to go over the top with a SA80 (like on a nuke boat).
But with all the cut backs the British forces are facing at the moment it could be worse. The guards could be armed with pick-axe handles like they were back when I started to serve.  |
With the new defense cuts, one gets the impression that a broken beer bottle may soon be the standard issue weapon!
