CJNG sicario R11 handling a .50 cal Barrett M82 anti materiel rifle

The stock of another Barrett can be seen next to his right foot.

R11 is notorious for using a .50 cal Barrett, something frequently mentioned in corridos dedicated to him.

Interestingly, his feet are in the correct position for shooting in the prone (flat and pointed outward for more stability), which could suggest some basic marksmanship training.

Another video has been uploaded from the clashes between FEU sicarios and Grupo Flechas sicarios that took place in La Capilla del Taxte in Concordia, Sinaloa.

This video is one of the most famous combat footage in the Mexican Drug War, a firefight between Los Zetas and Marines shot by a Marine Combat Cameraman.
The special thing about this video was that it was originally leaked onto the internet. We weren't actually supposed to be able to watch this video. It is also one of the longest videos out there, though the actual full footage would be hours long.

The video is famously known as "LA PIEEEZA" video in the mexican military community, due to the marines screaming constantly for the god forsaken piece that is either jammed or not being constantly used. A "pieza" or "piece" in mexican military jargon means any kind of support weapon, that is an M2, Mk.19, etc.

Thanks to the leak now the Mexican Armed Forces practice a lot of OPSEC, and now we barely get a minute long leaked combat footage, most of the time in horrendous quality or without audio.

Michoacán: Defensive loadout

A Carteles Unidos (CU) sicario shows his gear at a fortified position somewhere in Michoacán, likely around Cotija or Los Reyes.

There is a .50 cal Barrett M82, with some extra magazines in the bag, and an AK for his personal weapon.

Note the use of sandbags, commonly used to fortify positions like these scattered around the outskirts of Cotija and Los Reyes, where CU is at war with CJNG, who look to expand their presence in the area.

Improvised explosive in the hands of a CJNG sicario

Shown here is a handheld improvised explosive device used by a CJNG sicario. This is essentially a small pipe bomb, designed to be thrown like a grenade after igniting the fuse (which seems to be missing in the picture).

These smaller handheld IEDs have become much more common in recent months, with various groups (example).

His choice of footwear is questionable, rocking fake Alexander McQueen oversized sneakers in the sierras would not be my first choice.
