They get them from the French Army.

They've never been fired, and only dropped once.

They're only effective at close range.

The French hunt deer! And with some really big rifles.

They drive the deer with beaters and then use someting like a .300 Win mag to take a shot at a RUNNING deer within 40yd or so. I read about this somewhere and it does sound crazy.

Afterwards they lay out one hell of a lunch on camp tables.

Of course they have rifles. If all else fails, they can use the rifles to shoot themselves in the foot to avoid having to put on a uniform and go fight.
