Queens colour squadron & grenadier guards & RAF Police?

[smar13]

What is the name of the gun that the queens colour squadron use on parades, and what guns do the grenadier use when at guard at buckingham palace, also does anyone know what gun the RAF usually use when guarding outside RAF stations?

The MOD standard issue individual weapon is the L85A2, the most recent variant of the SA80 family.

I would like to see the Guards and RAF Regiment do a shoulder arms, or present arms with a 25 pounder GUN.

Anyone who has been in the services, knows you do not carry a GUN.

IT's a RIFLE.

I had to run around the parade ground for calling my rifle a gun.
