They are bodyguards, not special ops fighters. However, they are heavily armed and are trained to use weapons.



The SS agent in that photo pulled out a sub-machine gun from under his jacket after Reagan was shot.

Most of the Presidential detail carry FN P90 sun guns. They have 59 rd mags and have a shoulder sling for easy carrying under the sport coats.

Most Presidential detail SS are some of the best shooters in the US. Probably only ones better are US Air Marshall. I have heard delta force and DEVGRU guys say the air Marshall gun qualification is the toughest in the world.

What if told you a lot of SS are prior military who get out and a large amount have special ops experience. Acting like these guys are your basic mall cops and armed security guards is retarded.
