Oof. 380 ballistics, howitzer muzzle flash even with no muzzle brake, super loud, and sparks unburnt propellant everywhere.

But it has the happy switch with that third pin, mixed feelings here.

Whatever that is she's holding, is definitely not from the USA. PRC, and not a mil model, no third pin.

AR-15 style rifles of Haitian variety.

 

[LimaCharles]

Trigger fingers are all indexed and not on the triggers, no one is flagging the other either, definitely a disciplined professional force the Haitians have. That CAR-9 is definitely not a Colt but uses Colt SMG magazines.

Thanks again for the pictures, Kadir93

Cantilever on a removeable carry handle?? Lol, I wonder why as it's pointless unless... No rear BUIS and a BUIS is mandatory for his unit's SOP maybe?

Fit, wants to be there, well equipped, LOP correct for his arm length, finger indexed, good stuff. But seriously WTF with the serpa holster ND maker and the muzzle brake for a unit that has as one of it's missions direct action and urban ops meaning in very close proximity to each other?? Put a can on that or at the very minimum a birdcage.

I just noticed something, no third pin. That's a semi only rifle making it not an assault rifle @Kair93

Alright, I'm stumped about that stock. And I never even knew this company existed or was making a homemade Israeli AR15 even.

Thanks for sharing.

He mounted carry handle sight too far forward, making NTCH a n extreme thing to do. I'm going to use basic assumption and say he's got the short range aperture flipped up to make sighting in easier since the battle-sight aperture is now useless.
