working from german law, our play policy (and that of 
real security companies) for the berlin and brussels 
office is pretty much the same. as german law allows no 
military weapons,  i.e. autofire, grenade or grenade 
launching, or anything that looks even remotely like one 
of these, our be/be operatives are restricted to 
pistols, revolvers, sniper rifles and pumpguns (and 
carrying any of these in public will cause trouble, 
exception: when securing a cash transport in uniform 
pistols or revolvers on the belt are o.k.. longarms will 
even be closely examined on the countryside during 
hunting season). the reason to posess silencers is 
environmental protection, any advantages in clandestine 
wetwork are purely accidental :)
individual operatives may have a personal license to own 
and carry (concealed or not) one or some of the 
above weapons, but these are sometimes hard to get. 

by the way, anybody working in personal protection in a 
middle or western european surrounding who actually has 
to draw a gun has already fucked up royally.
