Politics might come into play here.  By NOT owning every firearms industry in Germany, S-K can show that the Governments that make up the area are not TOTALLY puppets to the Dragon...

Also, it allows for another competitor which can be good for business.  Gives the designers someone to work against for the title of "Best German Engineered Firearm"-type thing, encouraging ingenuity and ideas at little-to-no cost.

In addition to H&K there is Korth, Walther, and Mauser. Any other firearm manufacturers based in Germany that I am missing?

Perhaps the German arms manufacturers banded together like General Motors in order to give them some backbone while still maintaining their product identities.

Well, the paint job on the vehicle is nearly completion. However, I need your assistance!

One of the decals I need is the motto...i.e. 'To Protect and Serve'...for KE.

Any suggestions?

[Dead Monky]

"To grift and profit."
"To abuse and frame."
"To protect and serve.....the rich."
"Fuck you, poor people."
"Money!"

[John Schmidt]

You know, I wish that I had led a life up to this point where I did not deserve that...yet we all know that isn't the case. 

However, if we could have something of a wee bit more serious I would be in your debt. 

[Dead Monky]

Sorry, man.  Couldn't help myself.

How about something like "Order and peace"?

[John Schmidt]

Not a problemo. I liked them and something that I may have tagged on the side of the police precinct building as well!

Not bad.

I ran across one on the web though that I liked too.

From the New South Wales Police Department: Culpam Poena Premit Comes / Punishment Follows Close on Guilt

[CanRay]

"Security Above All Else", "Your Safety Is Our Goal", "Peace Through Defense", "Si vis pacem, para bellum"?

[Tagz]

1. Serve the public trust.
2. Protect the innocent
3. Uphold the law.
4. Classified.

Couldn't help myself.

How about "Apprehend and Defend."

-Edit- I should point out that my use of Apprehend is a play on words:
1) To take into custody
2) anticipate with dread or anxiety

[John Schmidt]

@ CanRay: Peace Through Defense...I like that one!

@ Tagz: I like the irony of 'Protect the Innocent'...given SINs and the Sixth World in general. The play on words didn't escape my notice either! LOL

[CanRay]

Actually, "Peace Through Defense" and "Si vis pacem, para bellum" are very close, and might have one above the other.

"Si vis pacem, para bellum" means "If you wish peace, prepare for war", roughly.  "Peace Through Defense" might be another translation.

I like the edge of the "If you wish peace, prepare for war". Knight Errant doesn't strike as a bunch of touchy feely softies. Tough choices...

Do it in Latin, and it comes out as educated AND edgy!

Also, as they're a Para-Military group as well as a Security Service, it makes sense for them to have a motto like that.
