It would be armed police, not armed guards - only the police (and relatively few of them) can carry arms in public. Armed police carry pistols and Heckler and Koch machine guns - the ones I see every day around Downing Street and Scotland Yard appear to be MP5s, but I'm no expert.
Airport police are almost all armed police, though; the Met - as Aviation Security - are an armed OCU at Heathrow & City airports, and certainly 10 years ago (when my uncle left) everyone who worked under him was armed.
Glasgow falls under the remit of Strathclyde Police's Airport Policing Unit, OP.
British police and security guards don't typically carry firearms, although they may have batons. If they believe the terrorists are armed, they'd probably call in an armed response team (this page refers specifically to London, but might be a place to start). At a guess they'd try to discreetly clear as many other passengers and staff as possible, or they'd try to get the suspects away from everyone else, possibly by filtering them off during security checks.
Apparently at Glasgow they use a mobile unit stationed outside rather than permanently posting armed officers in the airport, though (just reading about the 2005 attacks - all the armed officers had been diverted to Edinburgh airport as that was the expected target if any).
The answer will depend very much on which European country, they all have different attitudes and approaches.
However, given the airport you picked, the best way to deal with it is to let a few Glaswegians know that their two weeks' holiday in the sun is about to be disrupted by that bunch of terrorists over there, and the problem will resolve itself.
If they're in the departure lounge, one assumes they've been through security and therefore are not seriously armed? Or did they manage to acquire weapons post-security?
Actually, the killers are the weapons. They don't need to carry any. Whomever responds to take them down is going to have a very bad day! I just have to make sure the proper procedures are followed up until then.
they would probably try to divert as many passengers away from the area as possible as quietly as possible and then probably send in a team in plain-clothes but heavily armed to escort them somewhere a bit more private and a bit more secure for everyones safety when/if things go down the shitter. Lots of people probably would be rather surprised by all the ruckus.
It may not sound like reform, but such terms are necessary to be fulfilled within the stipulated time or chances are that situation may turn foul. For instance, you must think your situation through and do good research payday loans to find legitimate advance cash loan lending stores. Secrecy of your personal details like name, address, loans amount, account number etc. Not all lenders use the same criteria and there are ways to get credit anywhere else.

They'd better hope they don't run into a baggage handler on his ciggie break!
