What sniper rifle does the Swiss military use? All I can find

As you said, it's the TRG in .338.

>>31569420
>>31569423
This is their regular sniper rifle?
A fucking .338 lapua?

Sako TRG 42 as sniper rifle

PGM Hecate II as anti-material rifle.

>>31569646
What about before the TRG42?

Only the SIG550 sniper and the K31?

The army use as DMR just a standart sig550: "TIFLU". There is no barrel modifications or anything. Just a scope.

>What about before the TRG42?
We used the zfk55 not the k31 as sniper rifle.

>>31569897
zfk55 is so sexy.

The swiss army never used the sig550 sniper.
We use a regular sig550 with just a scope as I said.

>>31569960

Yes

When you go to the information day that prepares you for your future enlistment, they show pic related as the sniper that's used in by the snipers

>>31570020
Can you tell me more about what small arms the Swiss military/police actually do use?

Is it true for instance that the military uses the H&K MP5 and Glock (17?) pistols?

What's the standard sidearm, P226?

I'm trying to find some definitive info, but apparently the internet is pretty flaky on this topic.

>>31570051
Don't mind the "in"

>>31570058
The Internet is pretty flaky because it changes every now and then

>>31570058
Both Glock and P226 are used by the military depending on your division but the P226 is more widely used.

Don't know about the MP5 but it's used by the airport military police though.

Like >>31570084 said, it changed often

>>31570058
Military : SIG550 for conscripts and SIG553 for professionals/SF
SIG P220 9mm for their sidearms, and the MP use some SIGPRO (2022 I think, I didn't saw them really, they were holstered)
Police : it really depends on the Canton, In mine (Geneva) it's Glock 19 and MP5 mostly

>>31570149
*P220
Damn phone

>>31570149
>>31570150
So no P226?

We use:
-sig550 (will be replaced by a sig553)
-Sig553 (SF)
-Remington 870
-Sig p220 (will be replaced by something new)
-HK MP5/MP5SD (MP / SF)
-Glock 21 (special forces)
-P226/228/229 (SF / MP)
-B&T MP9 (may be a futur weapon for pilotes/tank crew)
-Sako TGR42
-PGM Hecate 2 (SF)

The polices (Feds and canton) use Glock 17/21, P228/229, MP5, Sig551/553.

Standart sidearme is the P220 in the army (infantry). Glock 21 for special forces (Grenadier/Para). P228/229 (maybe 226) for MP and other special forces (AAD10/MP Spez Det)

P220 for the infantry will be replaced by something new in 2017/2020.

Hey Swissfags, I snuck across your border on the way to the French alps. Simply drove across.
So much for your precious neutrality, huh?

>>31570327
Well you're allowed to walk through mate

>>31570300
I know right ?
As an infantryman, it kills me

>>31570282
Weird, if he's up-to-date he should have know about the TRG42 and the SIG550 being not used as a DMR

>>31570270
Yeah, the Lux can't come any sonner now, it's all dark in here

>>31570248
I heard that they'll remplace the P220 with the SIG-Sauer Pro SP2009

BTW is someone now in the army? Is there knew equipment like the KS14? Are they changing the Fass/Stgw90, the Splischu, the GTE, the Karusa?

>>31570327
That is how the Schengen Area works, yes.

Also, any alpennegers own any B&T rifles? I'm lusting after an APC223 Match, but I want to hear more about B&T in general before I take a $2-3000 risk.

Well we are unfortunately in the Schengen Area, so travel as you want

>>31570367
Did my service in march this year, nothing new mate, except those KS14 (they are shitty BTW)
And the Army wants to adopt the SIG553/552 (Fass07) but apparently they can't for some budget reasons

>>31570367
They're changing the 550 for 553 for everyone

>>31570379
I'm too poor to buy a B&T (student poor). I only can afford a k31. But all I have heard of B&T was really good.

>>31570401
>budget reasons
But they have hundreds of them lying around in the armory

Can you actually buy full auto military 550 rifles in Europe?
Or does the military keep them strictly for military/militia?

>>31570415
Some of the 1rst gen of their guns (APC9 and 223 IIRC) was kinda problematic, but now they worked on it and it's pretty good (but goddamn expensive)

>>31570427
Well if you're a civilian in Switzerland you can only buy a PE90 meaning it isn't full auto nor 3 bullet burst

>>31570422
Yeah but they also have a shittons of 550 that they want to get rid of first IIRC, so no 553 until at least 2020/2025

>>31570427
In Switzerland you can, don't know about the other country

>>31570441
How about as a collector outside of Switzerland?

>>31570427
It has to do with the country's law and they are all differents (until the shitty new EU law pass)

>>31570451
I think in Belgium and Czech Republic you can buy them too (Finland also, maybe ?)

>>31570441
What ? You can get a PAE and buy any Full Auto on the market (AK47, Uzi, MG42 ect)

>>31570401
Which branch? Where a in a combat unit? Because they are the first one to have new equipment.
>they can't for some budget reasons
Fuck me.. They can give 110 millions CHF to refugees but not for beautiful Sig553.
>>31570411
Are they actually doing it or are they planning to do it like usual?

I'm going back in the military in 2018. I'll in the new system (DEVA/WEA). I hope I'll have a radically new equipment with a better organisation than what I have had in 2015.

>>31570464
He's talking about STGW90 mate, not ak47 or other things

>>31570464
You need a special authorization permit for a full auto rifle anon

>>31570476
Infantry, ER Inf 3, but I "fractioned" my ER so I'll be back in 2018 too actually

>>31570477
Sorry, I misread this.
Discard this message then
But you can actually buy some 550 in Switzerland with a special permit !

>>31570494
Yeah, that's what I said, you need a PAE (don't know the name in German tho)

>>31570494
It is easy to get one when you already have 10-12 guns

Yeah a special one, not the normal that you gets every time without questions when you want to buy a gun. It's more problematic to obtain obviously

>>31570522
Not even swiss but
>permit is exceptional
>get it easily
Wat

>>31570546
True, hence the name PAE (Exceptionnal Acquisition Permit), but it's not that hard to get if you already have guns (but it's 200CHF/guns...)

>>31570546
As I said, it is easy to get one when you already have a dozen of guns. As a "collector".

>>31570561
>Trying to find logic in gun laws

You know how it is anon

>>31569646
I thought the Hecate was a POS, why do the swiss use it?

>>31570566
>200.-/gun
Damn the Confederation wants its money

>>31570614
For anything special like full auto, silencers (I think ?), RPG, explosives and lasers sights
For a normal one it's 50chf and you can get 3 guns with it

If the sig 550 is such a good gun, how come it isn't in any video games?

Uno, atheists.

LBA guy here. That 550 to 553 swapping thing... yeah no not gonna happen. Just watch it. Currently they are proposing all kinds of bs. They'll end up slapping an optic on the 550 with a holder like for the deflector or scope and call it a day. We dont even have like 300 of the 07 in stock and SAN arms is just falling apart. They dont even have 13 guys left, no engineers nothing. All we currently do is refurbishing our warstockpiles to be issued.
