View Full Version : Mexican Marines unleash a mini gun on gangsters
I thought this was pretty sweet. Perhaps there are some other gangsters around North America who could use this treatment.

Looks like Pueblo...except they patrol in Apaches.

I can't even imagine living in a place where that's the necessary action needed to enforce the law against criminals. FFS.
Not knocking the response...just SMDH at the level of ruthlessness that would cause that type of response in a city.

Making it rain.....MUCHO!!!
BOOYAH, BITCHES! Mess with the bull, ya get the horns.....
If the Mexican military has tools like that, they need to use them more often against those cartels, quit fuckin' around with them.
So were they all standing in a huddle or something?
Probably cornered a group of squirters from a raid on a building that were armed and shooting at the Federales and Marinas.
The Mexican Marine Corps gets tapped to do a lot of anti cartel ops, seems they don't have that whole posse comitatus thing going for them down south. My only question is who turned the rate of fire down that low.

I don't think it was a minigun. The bodies were too intact.

Yes...."CARTEL ON 3...1, 2, 3......CARTEL"....Ready Break.
Well I guess they didn't get to finish their chant.

Now if they'd just turn those miniguns on the gangsters in Mexico City that have been so poorly running this borderline failed state for the last couple generations that a quarter of their population has chosen to illegally invade their neighbors to the north rather than stay in their shithole homeland.
My only question is who turned the rate of fire down that low.
After watching it a few more times, that does look rather slow for a minigun - based on other videos I've seen and the one time I saw one firing in person.

I don't have sound on this machine, but they probably only load tracers 1:6 or 1:10...

I'm going off of the audio, sounds like a sluggish M240. Then again the minigun title could be whack.
* Edit * After listening to it a few more times its definition a minigun. Hearing loss is a bitch.

The minigun I shot out of a UH-60A had both low rate and high rates of fire. You always had to start low rate then you could rock into the high rate. And they were loaded 1:6 for the tracers.

The Mexican Marines apparently don't use a 7.62 minigun, it's the 50BMG GAU-19. with a ROF of 1000 or 2000rpm in the basic 3-barrel configuration on their helos.
It's like the big foodservice-sized can of whoop-ass.

That sort of reminds me of a newspaper article I saw back in the mid-80s. Basically, a military member living near LA was getting harassed by drug dealers because he kept reporting their dealers hanging out in his neighborhood. Can't remember if he was Ranger or SEAL or what but he apparently got word that the gang had planned a hit on his home so he invited his work buddies over for an after-work barbecue ... seems work ran long and in their haste none of them went by the armory to turn in their weapons, figuring they'd do it after the barbecue. Of course, they practiced good weapons safety and brought the weapons and ammo inside with them rather than leave them unattended in the vehicles and were fortunately able to return fire when the gangbangers showed up.
This being the 80s and Governor Moonbeam having been kicked out in favor of a governor who believed in law and order and the right of citizens to protect themselves, the police said the member and his work buddies were justified in protecting themselves. I don't remember the military unit response but at worst it was probably a couple LORs reminding them to check their weapons into the armory at the end of the duty day. I wish I'd saved that article, laughed myself silly when I read it.

That was in Washington State and it was Army Rangers. My Battalion Commander was there when that fight went down. He told us the story after some beers.

Did you believe him though?

Interesting that you ask. The story was told to us over 20 years ago so it was well before the internet and other such sources of information. I called my mom (LOL) and asked her if she knew anything about it and she recited the basics of the story to me. He was the Headquarters Company Commander and one of his NCOs lived across from a "crack house" or whatever they called them back then. It is along story, but the bottom line is that there was an initial shooting at the house. The Ranger Company dudes showed with their own guns (not arms room guns) and fortified the house. At some point, the cops showed up and either took their guns or something - remember 20 years ago. At this point, the story gets a little whacky but we told that some local gun shop owners showed up and dropped off more weapons (believe it if you want or not).
Here is a link to the story from 1989: http://www.nytimes.com/1989/09/27/us/off-duty-soldiers-trade-gunfire-at-a-house-linked-to-drug-sales.html
The article doesn't talk about two separate engagements but one. I wasn't there and my boss was pretty toasted when he told the story so who knows. It did happen.
Glad you expanded. Being told 20 years ago changes things IMO (no internet, like you said).

Yeah, that was the incident I was thinking of. Thanks for the link and fixes, I read the original newspaper article a LONG time ago -- it wasn't exactly pre-Internet but it was before the Web and common use of the Internet.
@Irving, I DID say it was the 80s ...

The good old GE M-134D, 2000RPM and 4000RPM. I believe the new ones are fixed 3000RPM
