Did the Mexican army get a new camouflage pattern?

Thanks Lumpy

I wonder if all the weapons in the first photo came from the store in Arizona that supplies Mexico?

All those weapons came from U.S. gunshows!!!!!!

Cool.

Did they catch the prof in Athens yet?

(I was camping this weekend... I have no idea WTF is going on)

Thanks again, Lumpy.

All those pictures were from Mexico, they're mis-labeled - that is exactly the type of hardware our civilian dealers are practically giving away to the druglords as fast as the evil arms companies can send them out.  Just the other day I tried to buy a mortar at my local gun show and they said wasn't for sale, the cartels made a better offer.

Wait. So the poor bastard in pic 6 has to carry a Barrett and a SAW??

Neat pics!

The Nigerians are still using FALs. That's pretty cool.



One can see how well Army ACU works in green areas.




Anzac Day––the guy with the Tommy helmet has a SMLE. Good to go!



If we really wanted to torture people to get information, we should be torturing the journalists who hang out with the Taliban, as soon as they get back.




Thanks for the pics! Good stuff!

Thank you, Lumpy!

The AR on the left in the first pic of the Zeta has an odd flash suppressor.  Any ideas where it came from?

Thanx, Lumpy

Cool MP5 pic.  Straight mag.  Hmm.

Thanks.  It seems like every third world poacher, warlord, militant, rebel, or pirate is armed with a Chinese AK.

Good work once again.  I enjoy 'em.  Thanks!  

This one fucks me up.



Think about it.



That a place of learning should feel the need to have such on hand (A university SWAT team?) is just mind boggling.



 

Uhhhhhh...

The SWAT team isn't from the university.

The truck is.

All articles list them as Univ. of Georgia SWAT.



Barring refuting citation I'll stick with that.



 

Late night BTT.

Nice pics man. Thanks for sharing them with us.  I for one will be happy when our troops can come home for good.

They were looking for one of the teachers who was suspected of murdering 3 folks with a gun.  

Actually, I remember reading a specific article about the Univ. of California's SWAT team in an asian defense magazine.  They were as well equipped as a standard police SWAT team.  I'm thinking when you have thousands upon thousands of people in a institution, you might get scenarios where you need a SWAT team.

The mexicans do have a new cammo pattern.  Marpatish.

Usually it is a team affair with the local city cops.  Not sure about UofG.

Great pics!

Thanks Lumpy!

Looks like the German troop's Blackhawk holster's sagging a little bit; he shoulda got a Safariland.

Thanks for the pics, Lumpy! Must be a pure-D bitch to hunt up all of this...

Oh those master race aryans and their SAW gunner 50 cal sniper super soldiers.

I fapt

is that a Multicam helmet cover?

Shweet

Thanks, for posting cool.

Nope, no way, just a dirty ACU cover.  



Thanks Lumpy



 

Thanks dude

That Wustentarn desert camo looks pretty effective in scrub areas.

L1A1 goodness!

thanxeth

Read somewhere that ACU works better when dirty.




There's something nice about that pic in a "how far we've come" kinda way.

Do they integrate a picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe into the pattern?

At least they have a nicer swat vehicle than my school's team.

Thanks for sharing

The paranoid delusional are apparently schizophrenic according to a recent GD poll where only 45% of the voters chose that all cops should not carry full auto SBRs on slings on duty.

Clearly we need to criminalize the private transfer of firearms to prevent Iraqis from getting these weapons.
