Destroys a car in 3 seconds, blows up a police headquarters in 10 blinks of an eye and wipes out a town in 5 minutes. US agent assures that the CJNG has a dozen of these weapons in Michoacán, Jalisco and Zacatecas.

It is the pride of the U.S. arms industry. It is also, as of this week, the terror of those who live in regions of the Pacific disputed by organized crime.

Produced by General Electric, one day in 1963 it occurred to its directors that, in addition to making refrigerators and washing machines, they would make the most perfect weapon for evaporating people. Its official name is M134, but everyone who owns one - including the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation (CJNG) - calls it Minigun.

It is made of a metal alloy that shields it from attack and can be mounted on tanks or helicopters. It is so fast that - modified - it can fire up to 150 shots per second. So deadly that it can pierce a maximum armor plate in less than half a minute. So effective that even those without warfare training can use it intuitively as if it were a video game.



Fast, lethal, reliable. It has the perfect trinomial for those who love guns. It is used from Germany to Turkey. From soldiers to terrorists. Artillery connoisseurs say it is the most effective instrument of war to exterminate an entire community in record time, second only to the atomic bomb.
