Mexican Federal Police Using IWI Negev Machine Gun
Published: August 2nd, 2013
Mexican Federal Police have adopted the IWI’s next-gen lightweight machine gun, the Negev . The gun is not a lot bigger than a rifle and can be configured to fire from a belt, an AR-15 or Galil magazine. The video below (not graphic, safe for work) shows Mexican Federal Police being ambushed in the mountains near Michoacan, Mexico last week. You can see a policeman using the Negev at the start of the video.

This gun makes me want to sell everything, get an NFA class III dealers license, and do whatever it takes to get a dealers sample..
Wow. When the police have to use light machineguns optimized for use in the most extreme conditions imaginable, you know things in your country have really gone to shit.
