He's got some Swiss Guards. They've got halberds and very conspicuous attire that isn't camouflaged at all.
Might as well send them though.
They also have Sig SG 550s and 552s
Like, yeah they're a joke, but they're also bodyguards for an important world leader and required to be trained Swiss military. It's similar to how the silly guards in the UK are all in the special forces
