The GIGN is a special force unit supposed to intervene when terrorists attacks occur.
In the night of the 13th of november, we already know the killing in the bataclan started at 21h40 and ended at 0h15.
Almost 3hours in a big city with no elite force acting?
Just so you know, it took less time to special force in norway to reach Breivik and he was on a island and they had no helicopter...
Not only we know that some soldier could have act very early in the killings but again the orders were : don't do anything.
Now we know also that the GIGN had 40 men ready but again : don't do anything.

Today the EU will vote on new gun control laws that would ban all semi autos from civilian possession (including handguns).

Are we fucked /k/?

Why aren't they? Was at my LGS and was looking over a S&W 910 and loved everything about it except for the fact that the mag release is not reversible. Why? Like I get that we are only 10% of the population (this number is growing however because there are no longer nuns hitting your hands until you use your right hand) but wouldn't it make sense for firearms to be ambi all the time or at least convertible for a lefty.
For me, I can think of several reasons why they should be ambi:

1.) What if during a firefight or in the case of a civilian, a self-defense situation your right hand/arm becomes disabled and no longer are able to properly use it for the duration of these events? This seems like a major detriment to either a soldier or a civilian.

2.) What if you are in an accident and permanently lose the use your right hand/arm or at least have limited use of it? Now if you are avidly into firearms you now have a vast collection of firearms you can hardly use or would now make it dangerous for you to use.

3.) This really only applies to bullpups, but what if a soldier needs to fire around a wall or an obstruction from certain angles? This would otherwise expose them too much to return fire by using their right shoulder for shooting. (Pic related below, too small for an OP image.)

Finally why are mag releases not relocated to the heel or part of the trigger guard where it would be universally accessible all of the time? Also making a slide release present on both sides of a firearm does not seem that hard to be implemented. I know there are some designs that have these features incorporated but why has this not been more commonplace for decades now?

Okay /k/ommandos, I have some extra money and I'm considering either an FN Five Seven or a Dan Wesson 1911 in 9mm. (already have two in .38 Super so don't mention that option)

Why not a HiPower? Because I already have 4 and I'm trying to decide between a Five Seven pistol or a 1911 in 9mm. And before anyone mentions it, I have access to "green tip" (IE red box) 5.7x28mm.

So what should I get?

So yesterday was just looking at pictures in google images. It was then i saw this picture of two soldiers. Other one of them had a supressed PKM. That got me thinking, aren't machineguns primaly a loud weapon that is used to supress enemies. More I thinked about it I came up with few options: A) Suppressor is so that the enemy would have a harder time locating the shots. B) Its there so that the gunners ears wont explode. C) It's the special forces, everything needs to be cool and special. D) Just no reason, just looks kinda cool. Give your thoughts /K/.

hey /k/ I've been looking at buying some smoke grenades for emergencies and signalling, also just to generally have. but I keep finding that military smoke grenades maybe considered destructive devices but can't get a clear answer. it seems to be a very grey area. so does anyone here own any smoke grenades or know the actual laws on them? I'am thinking it may be illegal to use but not to buy. anyways any input would be great.

Curious as to what the general opinion of /k/ is on homemade armaments. Let's assume a scenario in which there is a substantial lack of arms (Red Dawn, NWO, whatever you mongloids want) and one would have to create one. What is /k/'s favorite homemade weapon?
