Mexico Police seize 20-year-old guarding vast weapons cache

[Desertdog]

Too many pictures, not much writing.  I wonder if they bought them at an American gun show.

Didn't see an "anti aircraft gun" in the picture, but I did see a Ma Deuce.  Must have got it at a gun show.

I think it's a 1919, possibly the A4 variant.

At first I thought the guy they caught looked a little girly, then I noticed she WAS A GIRL. Yeesh.

Looks like a 1919 to me, seems to be a tad small for the M2, maybe Im wrong though. Maybe if it eats its wheaties one day it can grow up to be an M2.

If the Mexican government were smart, they'd make a TON of cash selling those mags in the US...

Of course, they'd probably get "lost" in transit...

Looked again and I think you're right.  Ammo is too small to be a MaDeuce.

[Antibubba]

I understand they're looking for a good picture, but she's an arm length away from a loaded MG.

I'd wager they're already trickling back into the cartels' hands.

Ditto on the M1919. 

All I see is a bunch of crappy AK magazines, an AR, a Dragunov or PSL, a couple of bolt actions...

Second pic shows "something" that takes some large cartridges.  On the left hand side.  Receiver is covered by cartridges though.  It could be a Barrett, or it could be an old Lahti or something.

This is not an impressive sting.  All I see are magazines.  Kinda dumb.  The fact they have to show off a couple of beater bolt guns is pathetic.  Moreso by the fact they have to hide their faces in baklavas while doing so.

Plus a M203

[dogmush]

If you enlarge the first pic I'm pretty sure that's a 37mm flare launcher, not a 203.  If so, then that at least probably DID come from a US gunshow.  Except for the M1919, that seems a pretty underwhelming bust.  Def. not an "arsenal".  But I guess they can feel better about getting all those deaadly magazines off the streets.


ETA:  What do you think the odds are that Browning is one of these: http://www.tnwfirearms.com/guns_1919.shtml .  And if it is, it'll get reported as a "Belt-fed Machine gun bought at a gun show in TX"

Might be a semi-auto 1919.

Ms. Anahi is not too bad on the eyes.

That's not exactly an impressive "weapons cache"...

I think the AA is mounted in the back of the white F150 in the two photos in front of the table.

Yes, kinda rough, but the cop on the right might be worth pulling the hood off of. 


Looks like it might be an Armalite AR-50 in the second pic. Sellior and Bellot ammo? What, the mexican Wal-Marts out of WWB too?

I think you mean a balaklava, baklava is a desert.

Well SOMEBODY is hiding their face in baklava:

I think you mean a dessert, desert is a climat.

I think you mean climate. Climat is something you use for yoga.

Yes, not very impressive.  I know people with better collections... cept that m203, haven't gotten to play with one of those before.  Furthermore, that is not a "large amount of ammunition".

First thing that popped into my head:


 

I started looking for a SPAS-12...   

[El Tejon]

That it?  That's all they have?  "Vast arsenal"?

*snicker*

The Frito Banditos (Mexican federal police) would snivel and cry like little girls if they saw my basement.

Could be - the picture really isn't sharp enough for me to tell, even if I zoom in.

The left side of the table looks like it holds a common .50 bolt action, maybe even a single shot - the belts of ammo were probably just draped over it for dramatic effect.

The .30 MG - assuming it's FA - is impressive. The rest, not so much. It's a long way short of anything that I would term "vast" as far as weapons caches go.

My wife looked at the picture.

I think her exact words were "Yeah, and...?"

LMAO. Same thing I thought of but I didn't have a photo handy.
