5: Why are the S.A.S carrying German rifles? >

As im sure you have noticed, a great many countries uses H&K weapons for their army and/or police forces (mp5's all over the place =O ). This is simply because when a countrys army/police is buying new weapons, they get offers from companies all over the world, and they choose the one they find the best (and as cheap as possible i guess =P). Same goes for all other weaponry, like tanks and jets etc., they get offers from all sorts of companies. Its just business, like everything else these days. Of course, some countries produce lots of their weapons and vehicles themselves, like the US, but most of that is still done by different companies within the US. Some also buy a license to produce a companies weapons, like Norway for example. Norway bought a license to produce the G3 rifle from H&K, so they could produce it in Norway, only here its called AG3.
