By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat During a routine patrol on Wednesday, the Mexican military seized dozens of firearms, extensive tactical equipment, five vehicles, and a Throwflame XL18 flamethrower in what appears to be a disrupted weapons drop linked to Grupo Escorpiones. The most notable seized item is the flamethrower, which appears to be a XL18 Flamethrower produced by Throwflame, a Cleveland, Ohio weapons manufacturer. The XL18 can be purchased online for $3,450, and ships free.
