The Guns the Brazilian Gangs use come mostly from Bolivia. Most drugs come from Bolivia also. What is funny about Bolivian drugs, is that Bolivian drug dealers don't sell them here in Brazil. They come here to export them to European Countries and to the United States since Bolivia is a Landlocked country.

Anyway, most Gangs today use old as shit FN FALs. Metric ones, mostly from corrupt Bolivian Army personnel. Most AKMs, Type 56s, AK-74s, Even Galils and AR-15 type guns come from Bolivia. On the other hand, the Military Police is more well armed than the Gangs. Hell, BOPE alone are more well armed than the fucking Brazilian Army:

And that's not all their equipment. They got Imbel MD97s and APCs. They are hardcore.

The BOPE looks well armed and well trained.

Yeah, the BOPE is considered one of the most experienced urban combat units in the world, due to the nature of what they do. A lot of the tactics they pioneered have long since been adopted in Mexico, and many other Latin American countries dealing with heavily armed drug dealers.

I remember in "News from a Personal War", a BOPE officer was showing off an HK21 light machine gun, which is a weapon they've deployed on several occasions (HKPRO also has a photo of one of them with this gun). He pointed out that it's not a weapon that any American or European SWAT unit would ever use.

Whenever I play Rainbow, I find it's easier to work alone. Maybe they should have one man SWAT teams. As long as they are armed with a vast arsenal of H&K guns and a ridiculous amount of spare magazines.
