First time I see this rifle in use by the Special Forces Battalions of the Mexican Army.

Anyone knows what rifle is this?

CornerShot. Not actually a rifle, but a pistol attached to a device that allows shooting around corners.

Awesome. This technology will help the SF fight narco terrorists more effectively.

The weapon being used in the system appears to be a Glock though, G17 maybe...

Yeah he did, one in the middle. What are the two outer rifles? I thought G36C, but looks different at the front.

Those are FX-05 Carbine version.
Only officers and elite/SF units will carry the Carbine.
The standard Assault version will be issued to regular troops.

Does anyone else think that giving officers a weapon that is different in appearance is a bad idea?
