For what it's worth, in 1999 or so while I was stationed at Spangdahlem AFB in Germany, a convoy of Bundeswehr trucks stopped at our base, carrying who I believe were reservists. At least one of the truck drivers I saw had an UZI slung on his shoulder.

"The use of force is always an answer to problems. Whether or not it's a satisfactory answer depends on a number of things, not least the personality of the person making the determination. Force isn't an attractive answer, though. I would not be true to myself or to the people I served with in 1970 if I did not make that realization clear."
