Re the above insurgent groups - yes you will be correct - but remember Russia was Soviet comprising of many countries that now are all independent again.
Some of which are still supplying weaponry to Terrorist and insurgent groups

The flip side to this (what arks me up) is the "other side" never seem to gain the same negative/vitriol traction that Russia does - especially the last few years.
Re the above - the "other side" was supplied weapons by who ??

I will not debate which side was correct in its stand/intent

Every Government supplies weapons to other Countries and " Groups " , it is done for either Political / Money reasons or just for the chance to mess up someone else's deal . The only side that is in the "Right " is the side that wins , because the Victor ( winner ) gets to write the history

Why not look into things yourself before you get your red crayon out?

They got them from God. Their prayers were answered. I to have been praying nightly for an MG 42, but sadly my previous sins seemed to have interfered with its divine delivery.

Why ask me - ask the Propagandist whom wrote the article :-)

@Tankd @Sarvo can you just agree to disagree..

Seems a shame to see them go. At least they will have a use better than going through the gas axes and dropped in a landfill I.e. Nz seized firearms

I think you may have got the measurements wrong - your army is holding onto a stick with 2 rocks.....

EL PRESIDENTE!

There is a article in guns and hunting on old WW1 German machine guns - concreted into buildings in NZ

Thankfully some have been recovered and restored - especially with historical meaning for NZ

Even in 1979 Rhodesian security forces were still picking up MG-34 machine guns off of dead terrs. They were not extensively used though as quantities of Communist supplied weapons and ammunition were prolific and tolerated neglect far better.

Don't recall instances of MG-xx turning up with PLAN (the armed wing of SWAPO, which is the political entity), or any of the domestic South African liberation movements. MK in particular, preferred laying mines and firing RPG-7s. They eschewed direct confrontation as when they were able to be brought to contact by the SAP or SADF, it tended not to go too well for them.

Still - it wouldn't surprise me if they were around though.

Apparently the StG-44s were used by East Germany after the war and then given to the Syrian government as aid to fight Israel. After sitting in the armory for 30+ years they were then looted from an armory by the insurgents.

Ok so if I cant have a MG42 even a Luger would be ok??? PS please please please melt some Nagant rifles instead to make your steps.
