GIGN uses these revolvers (often with both scopes and even bipods fitted as in this pic) for special purpose close-range sniping type situations, like trying to shoot a guy with a hostage from a building across the street. the pistol/revolver bullets have less chance to over-penetrate, and the mechanical simplicity of a revolver combined with the extensive hand-fitting and bespoke manufacturing processes of this specific revolver ensures it is reliably 'match grade' accurate at the needed ranges (each comes with a 25m factory test target) with little chance for jams or malfunctions.
also the 'jumpsuit + balaclava + unarmored tactical vest' look will never stop being the peak tactical aesthetic.
