I mean it is, but you're very much not allowed to keep your gun after you leave. (I'm assuming OP is referring to "Sherlock", the modern-day BBC adaptation)

Yeah but even then that's one of the seemingly universal jokes about the military, that being folks smuggling out their service weapons. Great grandad's Colt/ Makarov/ Webley/ Beretta/ Luger/ et cetera. Pretty sure I've heard stories of soldiers jacking artillery back in the 1700s for similar reasons, have folks use and take care of a piece of equipment and they'll probably try to keep it forever, hell you can still find WW2 era junk that got smuggled out for basically that reason.
