Do you think it's Tier 1?

Mexico lauds capture of top drug lord as violence ...

A US-made M4 assault rifle with a mounted M-203 grenade launcher who belonged to Edgar Valdez Villareal, aka 'La Barbie', of the Beltran Leyva drug cartel, is shown to the press at the Federal Police headquarters in Mexico City. Mexican authorities paraded a top drug lord in public, presenting his capture as a much-needed victory in the growing battle against the country's vicious traffickers

Someone else can probably look closer, but I think I can see that third pin in there...So while it's US made, it's not US bought.

Edit- this was with zoom on paint, too busy to look closer.

That's a real deal HEDP round, unless it is inert, but I doubt it.

We left something like 700,000 M16's in Viet Nam, and they've been selling them ever since.

I would be willing to bet that the US gov. is the biggest supplier of guns to narco terrorists. via most of Central America and Mexican military.

Soldiers have smuggled weapons and equipment and sold them to civilian buyers. Hell, when I was in a Cab one day, one of the guys in the car I was riding with with a CID investigator or something, don't remember exactly. Was telling us about him catching a soldier trying to sell hmmwvs and shit.

Firing a M203 from a DPMS would have destroyed the rifle. Anything less than tier 1 couldn't stand up to that much awesomeness!

You can pretty much buy M203's over the counter at Wal-Mart in America.

That weapon walked out of a Mexican Military Armory.

It is amazing, half the public thinks you can't own a m16 at all (with or without nfa registration) and the other half thinks the Mexicans are buying them in pawn shops this side of the border.

And there you have it, they could be from anywhere, but that does not fit the agenda so by default they are from American gun shows.

Everything is American, right down to the RPG-7's.

And thats not even Scarfaces' gun, his was the M16 with the old school heat shields.

He probably just picked the coolest looking one of the bunch.

It's so they don't lose the parts and they can drag the same weapon out the next time another drug lord is captured or killed.

I'm really starting to think I was right and that it is just a macro shot of a GI Joe or a model gun. It looks very plasticy... not even real.

It's real, as far as size goes.

FOX had the pictures up on their website when they caught him. They also had an UZI or something else on display, I can't remember.

They were showing him off as well as his weapons and other people arrested with him at the time, I lol'ed because it looked like they were parading the maid too!

+1 Clearly. And I obviously need to get to more Texas gun shows, because I never see these in Wisconsin.
