A listing of the material taken by police in their October 23 1993 arrest can be found *here* The *AK47-type rifles were a Chinese Poly-tec and a MAK90; the 7.62 HK91 had been modified to selective fire using parts from a Mexican army G3 rifle, probably so modified in Mexico. Whether the parts for the similar modifications to the AKs were done by the same source is a matter of conjecture, but logical; but 75-round drums similar to those used by Phillips and Matasareanu are very common and in use by many of the various Mexican police agencies, and were also a fixture in the May 24 1999 murder of Mexican Archbishop Cardinal Juan Posadas Ocampo, killed at the Guadalajara airport when the Cardinal arrived to welcome the apostolic nuncio in Mexico, Archbishop Girolamo Prigione. That's certainly no *proof* that the Phillips and Matasareanu weapons , including tear gas and *flashbang* hand grenades came from corrupt police sources in either Mexico or the US, but it's certainly possible.
