Neither. Agents that require firearms carry what suits the mission best. They could be what they were most comfortable or capable with or it could be what they know will get the job done. In some cases it might just be what's on hand at the time. They're not a formal military so they dont need to play by the rules of defense contracts and military munitions suppliers. | |||

Neither. Agents that require firearms carry what suits the mission best. They could be what they were most comfortable or capable with or it could be what they know will get the job done. In some cases it might just be what's on hand at the time. They're not a formal military so they dont need to play by the rules of defense contracts and military munitions suppliers. -Double Agent M
