CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — Gunmen have stormed two homes and killed nine people in a neighborhood of the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez.

The Chihuahua state Attorney General's Office says gunmen burst into a home where a family was having a party. Three women and two men died at the scene Sunday night, and a man and a woman died at the hospital.

The statement Monday says gunmen attacked a second home in the neighborhood minutes later, killing two men.

They hit the wrong house first??

It can’t happen here. Janet Napolitano says the border is as secure as it has ever been.

How very al qaeda-esque, to eliminate the competition in the drug trades, so the revenues and infiltration system are secured. Time to close the borders to the south with heavily armed enforcements. The mortal enemy of Western Civilization is operating with near impunity on our Southern border ... and the democrap party likes it that way, so illegal votes can stream in to be exploited.

This keeps up and the rates of Mexican emigration are going to go radically upward. It won’t just be laborers, it will be all levels of society. We are at the edge of a disaster.

Probably used some of those 80% guns purchased in the US /sarc

A little spendy, though.

Sweeeeet tool! Love the accessorizing rails.

OK...lesson needed here. what does this mean:

Gas piston operated, rotating bolt (short stroke system) 2-position gas plug for normal (N) or suppressed (S) operating modes.

If you go to the website, click on the HOME link. They have an excellent presentation on their piston operated method for locking the bolt until the pressue has been reduced to safely open the breach. Pretty nicely done.

Can't realisticaly imagine being able to afford one, but it's nice to have a dream.

Nice, overbuilt like crazy, but nice just the same.

 

Mainly I'm interested in the upper receiver body and if there's been any re-engineering done on account of the piston drive, since that introduces various harmonics and stresses that are not present in the original gas impingement design. Would like to see the results of a ruthless 10,000 round torture test on one of their wiz-bang models picked at random.
