The Swiss Guard are quite capable with their halberds, they're also quick and accurate with an MP5.

Nice picture. From what I have read the strongest military unit on the medieval battle field, prior to gunpowder, was the Halberd Units (long pole arms with a large heavy bladed end). Those looker smaller then the typical Halberd blade, but supposedly a Halberder could take down an Armored Knight in one swing. The strongest unit within the Islamic Empires Army currently appears to be a small child with a bomb strapped to its waist trying to find the path to 'Islamic paradise'.

They can, no doubt. We were just at the Vatican in July and viewed a lovely short film following a young man as he entered the Swiss Guard.

I would love to see the halberdiers take on some scimitar-swinging jihadis. Let me know when the DVD comes out.

Was at the Vatican last year and I gotta say, some of those Swiss Guards are totally gorgeous - just handsome as ever. If they can kick A, then all the better.

Swiss can shoot, let me tell you. And their military training is not bad. My ex (Swiss) had cigarette burns all over his arms because he "wouldn't talk" in an EXERCISE.

They could do it too, they have military training as fierce as any, but there are only 500 of them!

Don't let the pretty suits fool you. To become a Swiss Guard, you have to have served in the Swiss military. They are fully trained in modern weaponry and tactics.
