US: 20 Man Delta Force & FBI HRT Kill Hundreds of Venezuelan security guards with HK416 carbines and secret sonic weapon in Jan 3 raid.

US: 20 Man Delta Force & FBI HRT Kill Hundreds of Venezuelan security guards with HK416 carbines and secret sonic weapon in Jan 3 raid in Caracas Venezuela. Reports from January 2026 confirm that U.S. Delta Force members, supported by other elite units like the 160th SOAR (Night Stalkers), conducted a raid in Caracas, Venezuela, on January 3, 2026, capturing President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, for trial in the U.S.. While Delta Force led the physical capture, federal law enforcement (FBI HRT) were also involved in executing the arrest warrant, a rare joint operation signaling the intent to bring Maduro to justice rather than just eliminate him. In terms of scale and precision, it was virtually unprecedented. Pres Trump was at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, where he watched a live stream of the operation. President Trump said on Saturday, "If you would have seen what happened, I mean, I watched it literally like I was watching a television show. And if you would've seen the speed, the violence... it's just, it was an amazing thing, an amazing job that these people did."

FBI HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) members are elite, full-time FBI Special Agents, they appear to use HK416 carbines, they are roughly 100 strong, organized into teams (Blue, Gold, Silver, Grey) with assault, sniper, K9, and bomb tech specialties, selected after extensive field experience, undergoing brutal training (physical & tactical) to handle high-risk domestic/international hostage rescue and counter-terrorism, often training with US military special ops like Delta Force

NYP writes Jan 10, 2026, US used powerful mystery weapon that brought Venezuelan soldiers to their knees during Maduro raid: witness account. “We were hundreds, but we had no chance with our AK-47 rifles,” he said. “They were shooting with such precision and speed; it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute (DELTA's HK416 fires 700-900 rounds per min).” Then came the weapon that still haunts him. “At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it,” he said. “It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside.”

Venezuelan security guards did not stand a chance, it was a massacre. US Delta Forces used hand held military grade sonic weapons to creates intense sound wave that would make your head feel like it was exploding from the inside during the Jan 6 Caracas Venezuela raid. The description of an intense sound wave making one's head feel like it's exploding points to acoustic or sonic weapons, like Long-Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) or experimental infrasonic weapons, used by militaries for crowd control or specific incapacitation, causing disorientation, severe headaches (like a vice grip), nausea, and panic through high-decibel tones or low-frequency vibrations.

This following account from a Venezuelan security guard loyal to Nicolás Maduro is absolutely chilling—and it explains a lot about why the tone across Latin America suddenly changed... Security Guard: On the day of the operation, we didn't hear anything coming. We were on guard, but suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation. The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn't know how to react. 

Interviewer: So what happened next? How was the main attack? Security Guard: After those drones appeared, some helicopters arrived, but there were very few. I think barely eight helicopters. From those helicopters, soldiers came down, but a very small number. Maybe twenty men. But those men were technologically very advanced. They didn't look like anything we've fought against before. 

Interviewer: And then the battle began? Security Guard: Yes, but it was a massacre. We were hundreds, but we had no chance. They were shooting with such precision and speed... it seemed like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute (DELTA's HK416 fires 700-900 rounds per min). We couldn't do anything. An estimated 300 Venezuelan security forces were killed in the Jan. 3 attack, according to the country’s Interior Ministry.

Interviewer: And your own weapons, the ubiquitous AK-47 rifles? Didn't they help? Security Guard: No help at all. Because it wasn't just the weapons. At one point, they launched something—I don't know how to describe it... it was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside. We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. 

US DELTA's Forces used a secret sonic weapon, not so much a cartoon joke anymore, just ask any of the surviving Venezuelan security guards that can still hear! A new weapon used by US DELTA's Forces uses low frequency sound waves to cause physical distress. The new “sonic gun” was developed as a nonlethal weapon system for use by police and law enforcement as an alternative to lethal weapons. The weapon uses “focused waves of low frequency sound” to cause “extreme discomfort, with vibrations in the eardrums, eyeballs, stomach, liver, and brain" a monotonous sound is emitted. Victims described feeling as though his head was going to pop, and that his brain felt like it was “vibrating in a bowl of jelly on the table.”

Interviewer: And your comrades, Venezuelan security forces? Did they manage to resist? Security Guard: No, not at all. Those twenty men, without a single casualty, killed hundreds of us. We had no way to compete with their technology, with their weapons. I swear, I've never seen anything like it. We couldn't even stand up after that sonic weapon or whatever it was. 

Interviewer: So do you think the rest of the region should think twice before confronting the Americans? Security Guard: Without a doubt. I'm sending a warning to anyone who thinks they can fight the United States. They have no idea what they're capable of. After what I saw, I never want to be on the other side of that again. They're not to be messed with. 

Interviewer: And now that Trump has said Mexico is on the list, do you think the situation will change in Latin America? Security Guard: Definitely. Everyone is already talking about this. No one wants to go through what we went through. Now everyone thinks twice. What happened here is going to change a lot of things, not just in Venezuela but throughout the region.

US Delta Forces use the HK416 a colaboration between Delta Force and the German arms manufacturer, Heckler and Koch (HK). The resulting weapon is said to be less prone to malfunction. One of the main changes to the M4 design is the HK 416's short-stroke gas piston system with a rate of fire 700-900 rounds/min. Effective Range 400 yards or 4 football fields laid end to end.

Another 30-year-old single mother awoke to find Waterman wearing a mask and hovering over her with a knife to her throat before she was raped. Elements of both crimes on Floyd Street and Loma Linda Street – the drapery cord strangulation and the knife to the throat of the rape victim – paralleled passages in a crime novel called “Postmortem” that investigators found on Waterman’s bookshelf, drawing national media attention at the time. After Jackie Galloway vanishes from her home in Sarasota, her body is found wrapped in a sheet tied with distinct, complex knots. The medical examiner determined Jackie Galloway was bound, raped and tortured before being strangled by murderer John Benson Waterman.
