Patrol: The Arizona Border Recon guard the US-Mexico border, dressed in camouflage gear and wielding heavy machine guns

Yep. Heavy machine guns they are. What they did not say was that two of the heavy machine guns pictured are actually hand-carried Bofors 40 mm pom-pom guns.

My father was an Armourer during WWII. He worked on Quad 50’s and Bofors. Some of the Bofors were anti-tank weapons.
