I am still trying to wrap my mind around the fact he has the optic mounted on the carry handle.
Go check out the pictures, sorry I am not ripping the website for pictures.
And that barrel looks very short, less then 10 inches?
They are some serious trigger pullers there. I bet they get into it everyday. With regards to the carry handle they have to fight with what they have.
Not an ideal set up but functional nonetheless. I’ve gone into some of the Favelas of Rio and its the real deal in there! Typical gangbangers from the U.S. wouldn’t last 24hrs there.
Props to the brutha reading the National Enquirer, like cops with carbines comin’ down the alleyway is no big deal! :jester:
It really isnt a big deal…fairly common actually. My first trip down there we were caught in the middle of a fire fight between the cops and the gangs. We kept our heads down till it was over. Once over, life resumed as if nothing had happened.
IIRC, Brasilian(this is the correct spelling:p) cops and military are the real deal. These are not the Mexicans.
Did you guys notice 4th pic down of the guy wearing what looks to be baseball catcher’s shin guards? These guys really do make use of what they have…
I am of Cuban decent, and have heard plenty of stories of milk cartons for baseball gloves and palm branches for bats so I’m not totally surprised…we are a lucky bunch to be born/live here!
Why is the lead guy wearing a beret with his K-pot strapped to his back?
Despite the “reporters” claim, I didn’t see a single TANK in the photos. :rolleyes:
Nice to know British journalists are as accurate about their reporting as the clowns here in the states.
Regarding the police squads, they most certainly are nowhere near as well funded or equipped as here in the US. It ain’t easy in 2nd and 3rd world nations and there is some serious sh*t going down in the favelas and the police have little control in them most of the time.
Has anyone here seen “Elite Squad” 
Kind of shows what they are up against.
They don’t know the differance between an AAV or a MBT. 
NGC has a series called “Shadow Soldiers” that is hosted by Chris Ryan who is former SAS. In one episode Mr. Ryan embedded with BOPE as they raided a favela.

How do you know they are “serious trigger pullers?”
I have been there man.
Do you feel the need to challenge EVERYTHING people say?
Me too…and I agree with you. Those guys have no problem slinging lead regardless to who is standing in the way. I watched them fly a helicoptor in and have a door gunner suppress fire in one of the favelas. several of them posted up right next to our van to return fire…we counted 3 holes in the van when it was over. Luckily nobody in our group was hit.
Why not? We did it for decades, including US special forces.
If you are used to it you are used to it. I’m so used to it I can’t use optics on a flat top without a riser.
Conversely, if you aren’t used to it, then you prefer the setup you are familiar with.
little hottie in the 3rd picture from the bottom lol.
Well you apparently have not seen the latest Fast and Furious installment.
Dang that can be pretty un nerving when you know there is no one with you on your left and right. I am honestly lucky im alive with the places I went when I was there.
Was a decent sreies. Those Poles were no joke.
And who the fuck pick Rio for the Olympics, do they have their head in the sand? Why no just go all the way and host them in Mexico.
good stuff thanks for the linky Moose Knuckle.
