Good Photo Of Mexican Nat'l Guard With FX-05 Rifles

Source: "Mexico descends into violence after cartel leader ‘El Mencho’ killed"--Al Jazeera. 

     This appears to be the open-sight version of the FX-05 Xiuhcoatl rifle designed and manufactured by Dirección General de Industria Militar del Ejército (General Directorate of Military Industry of the Army). It fires the 5.56 NATO round using a long stroke piston system. It is a bit unusual in that it is one of only a small number of rifle designs that use polygonal rifling.
