MilitaryPhotos.net frequently has high quality photos of military themed news events. They happen to have great photos of a massive, recently captured, Zeta arms cache, the largest in Mexican history. The cache was discovered on November 7th, when Mexican authorities executed a raid in Reynosa and captured Jaime Gonzalez, nicknamed "The Hummer," described as a founder of the Zetas. According to the Houston Chronicle, the cache included 400 pistols and rifles, 500,000 bullets, 165 grenades, several grenade launchers, six heavy machine guns and an anti-tank rocket launcher. A quick check of the photos reveals numerous, 40mm grenades and launchers, many fragmentary hand grenades, several .50 cal sniper rifles, and rifles of all sizes and shapes. However, “heavy machine guns” or “anti-tank rocket launchers” could not be located. Overall, the size of this cache gives a clear indication of the goals and means of the Gulf Cartel. It seems clear, given that this probably is not their only weapons cache, the Gulf Cartel is now more heavily armed than any branch of law enforcement in North America, and they will use whatever violence they need to achieve their goal, domination of the drug trade.
