    I think your right, most people see a banana magazine and bingo must be an AK

    Wow . . . . heck of a difference between a Stg.44 (as listed in the heading) and the actual subject matter . . . a Mkb42(H). Also, IMO, you really ought to consider having this post moved to the "Firearms" forum; I think that will prompt more substantive discussion. Sure would love to know the history of how a prototype WWII German "assault rifle" ended up in Mexico!

    I just noticed this while watching S1:E3! Seems like an odd choice of firearm for the cartel.

    Perhaps he is a collector? Wonder if this soldado is a member here on the forum? LOL

    Haven't seen the show yet, but in the case looks like the Maschinenkarabiner 42(H)

    I will check it.

    The aerodrome scenes are filmed less than a mile from here. We have the Cessnas flying over our house sometimes. A small community airport.

    Some of the real time characters are still under house arrest a live near here also in the area.

    CheeRS!

    Markus.

    Hello,

    It's the beginning of episode 5, not 4. Great music also during that scene.

    StG44 on Narcos: Mexico

    Did anyone else catch Season 2 of Narcos: Mexico? The fourth episode began with a member of one of the Mexican cartels taking out a StG44 and shooting it in a park.

    Given that the armorers for the show supplied numerous AK47s and M16s I found it an interesting choice. But it was pretty cool.
