    Definitely not an ACR, its an FX-05 Xiuhcoatl. Do you really think the mexican army would be issuing ACR's to its military when the US doesnt even have them yet??

      Probably airsoft to cover up the fact they sold their AR's to friends. Don't know how good the camo is with huge block letters in contrasting colors plastered across them.

        It's to help them blend in with the background from the first picture

                Last time I was in Mexico i saw several police officers carrying FN FAL's

                  The Feds typically carry FALs. I have also seen platoons with M16s.

                  The state police carry whatever they have. That can be anything from a AK to an AR.

                  I have spent much time in Mexico. That is what I have seen loosely pointed in my direction during inspections.

                    Could've got them from Holder.
                    There is no justification for the public servant police to be more heavily armed than the law-abiding public they serve...Unless...the government's intention is to be more powerful than the people.

                      last time i was in mexico was about 10 years ago and the army unit i saw at the airport had HK G3's and they were held together by duct tape. the police had m1 carbines and when we drove by the police station we saw a technical with an M2HB on it.

                        I have seen a whole lot of HK G36 rifles in Mexico. Yep,.... I thought to myself: Wtf? A G36? How can they afford that?

                            I was in Ensenada last week. All I saw were G3's at the checkpoints.

                              In exchange for all the guns we send to them, perhaps they could be so kind as to send us a few FX-05 Xiuhcoatls in exchange to test out and see if they're any good.
