Rival drug gangs are playing around with really serious military hardware, including .50 caliber machine guns and grenades. At least some of them figured out an armoring solution for the uptick in firepower: armoring. Chop shops add inch-thick steel plates to a standard truck chassis like that of a Ford F-150.

Mexican cartels taking ‘war’ on drugs VERY seriously… with 100 new homemade TANKS
Huge and imposing, these heavily-armoured converted trucks look like the warrior trucks out of action film Mad Max.
But the vehicles, cloaked in inch-thick steel plates, are actually the DIY project of Mexican drug cartels.
Gangs have transformed the pick-up trucks as part of their arsenal of weapons to battle with rivals for supremacy in the drug trade.
A cable entitled ‘Honduras: Military weapons fuel black market in arms’ states that the serial numbers of arms taken from drug gangs coincide with those supplied by the U.S. to the Honduran Armed Forces.
According to the Defense Intelligence Agency file, the brands and serial numbers seized equipment are the same as a shipment sent to the Second Infantry Battallion in Honduras.
