User blog comment:Urbancommando77/Che Guevara VS Hans Gruber/@comment-3195617-20120125173507

Gruber wouldn't use a PPK, his sidearm throughout the entire movie was an H&K P7M13. Anywho, I'm giving this to Gruber, with his superior Mid and Long Range weaponry in the AK-74 and the M60, not to mention, Hans will have a better layout of the hotel, making keen C-4 traps.

And Gruber was a member of the West German Volksfrei movement, as well, so he does have at least a little bit of combat experience
