Also, is this Obama in the fourteenth picture?
They look really great, but I wonder how they took pictures like

Why are the Drug dealers even trying? Their low end weapons and non-trained members stand no chance against the army.

Nice pictures, this whole slum is just a mess. You can't properly fight anyone.
Furthermore it's pretty pointless at a long run. Drugdealers will always establish business in such environements. The slums are the perfect place for hiding.

It's about the conflict between the police and the drug dealers and it's pretty awesome.
[QUOTE=Mercenary-;26408250]What weapon are the wo guys closest to the camera using?[/QUOTE]No idea. It's not a FAL or FNC, nor their derivatives, which is what Brazil usually uses.
they're using the SIG 551

Not related to the news story but same film vein.
[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;26408949]they're using the SIG 551[/QUOTE]Nope; they don't use those sights, for one. Those sights are more similar to the ones used on the FAL type guns, as is that folding stock.
[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;26408848]No idea. It's not a FAL or FNC, nor their derivatives, which is what Brazil usually uses.[/QUOTE]
They use IMBREL.
It's a modified FAL, has some elements of the G3.
Also CAR15's and fucking [B]Madsens![/B]
Also operator porn:

it might be some funky version of the SA58 then
[QUOTE=3v3ryb0dy;26409102]They use IMBREL.

it's not though, it's a low end rebel (Silver) with a big lens and black grip. And the guy with the sony z5 looks bad ass
