Security Experts Claim CJNG Possesses Multiple M134 Miniguns Within its Arsenal

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel has an arsenal of up to 10 M134 machine guns nicknamed “Minigun”, according to security experts, advanced weapons valued at around a quarter of a million dollars and capable of firing up to 10,000 rounds per minute.

There are two versions of how the Jalisco Cartel was able to acquire these weapons. One report points out that the criminal group was methodically importing parts from the United States to arm in Mexico, from the hand of military advisers, the multi-barrel machine guns.

The other indicates that an adviser to the cartel, a former US marine, is the one who manages the transfer of the weapons.

The Minigun is flaunted not only by the Jalisco Cartel, but also by the Gulf Cartel.

This multi-barrel weapon, operated by an electronic system, is capable of firing 10 thousand rounds per minute, on average 167 per second; the cost of one minute of operation is around 120 thousand pesos in ammunition.

These weapons are generally mounted on helicopters and military vehicles.

In the United States, this model is available for civilian use under certain requirements and not accessible in all states.
