#ISCAP (#ISIS - Central Africa) released a new video.
It mostly features footages from Democratic Republic of #Congo (#DRC) & shows some of their weapons.

First; rather rare FN FNC and South Korean Daewoo K2 assault rifles can be seen. Both chambered in 5.56x45mm.

Additionally large quantity of AKM and Type 56 rifles, Bulgarian Arsenal AR rifle, RPG-7 & Type 69 RPG Launchers with PG-7V/Type 69-1 and OG-7V projectiles are frequently used by the militants.

A Chinese Type 85 HMG appears as well.

Besides the noted weapons above; 7.62x54mmR General-Purpose Machine Guns are also quite common among the militants. The video shows PK/Type 80 machine guns along with a #Bulgarian 🇧🇬 Arsenal MG-1M machine gun.

Footages of the conflict recorded by the group at different times were compiled in the videos. Most of the attacks seem to have taken place in the #Beni area.

The video also includes content such as video, weapon disassembly and daily activities.

4/

The video can be noted for being the first ISCAP video:

Although #Mozambique is now defined as a different Province, former-Allied Democratic Forces (#ADF) militants, who pledged Bay'ah to IS and turned into a part of ISCAP in DRC, form the core of the first ISCAP video.
