Every Weapon the French GIGN Uses in Operations and Missions

Why does the world’s most advanced counter-terrorism unit still carry a 6-shot revolver in the age of automatic pistols?

In this episode of WAR DEX, we unlock the classified armory of the GIGN (Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale). From the legendary Air France Flight 8969 hijacking to modern-day anti-terror operations in Paris, the GIGN has earned a reputation as the most surgical and lethal force on the planet.

Unlike the Navy SEALs or SAS who prioritize volume of fire, the GIGN follows a unique philosophy: "One Shot, One Stop."

We break down every single weapon in their history and modern inventory. From the sniper rifle that can stop a truck engine to the secret underwater dart gun used by their combat divers, this is the only guide you will ever need.
