Nihil Obstat Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Unless that particular Swiss Guardsman was armed with something other than a halberd, he's mostly there for show, but I can definitely see how that could be a difficult situation to be in. I believe all of them carry a pistol in addition to the halberd, and I have read that there is always a guard station relatively nearby that has rifles and submachine guns in the case of an emergency.

That sounds about right. A halberd might have been effective before modern guns, but now they're little more than fancy props. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
