Issuing out and training on NATO war aid.

Learning the Ma Duce.. and that is a Beretta made MG42/59 for good measure.

Russians are going to have a BAD time with this stuff...!

Nothing Sparks fear like the Chevy anti-aircraft missile launcher.

Need to soak that MK19 in about a quart of 15w40!

I saw that and the words out of my mouth were: "oil can, oil can", lol.

That looks like something you would see in Fredericksburg (which is very close to Crawford County)

Combatants seem to be armed with AK-74 rifles, AKM rifles, PKM MGs, RPK-74 LMG, #Turkish MKE MP5A3 SMG and a rare #Croatian Agram 2000 SMG.

After two world wars on European soil you would be surprised to see what some folks keep in their attic (or basement, or both!).
A lot of museum-grade quality, often fully functioning (therefore illegal), military weapons are kept in private homes.

Some people have been collecting weapons for years, when they die the family has to figure out what to do.
Either keep them all hidden or call the cops and lose everything.

Each year the police find hundreds of guns that way.
Just two years ago they found over 18,000 lbs of guns, and over 3,000 lbs of ammo (hand grenades, machine guns, mortars, rifles etc) ... all in one house in France.

By law we are limited to 12 firearms ... recently they found a guy who had over 500 guns, mainly hunting stuff.

I assume he lost count and went 488 guns over the limit ...

About all I can say to this (with my High School French) is:

"Allons enfants de la Patrie!"

In short, they couldn't afford to run them, and the US payed them to destroy them

Boris: My rattle-canned AK with grenade launcher and optic is most cool! Yuri! Your belt-fed LMG is most cool, but your Ukraine Flag is upside down.

Yuri: It looks fine to me when I look at it.

See, i am not joking when I say.

ACHTUNG! PANZERFAUST!

Now someone please control Kirk Freeman before he drives himself mad trying to import some of these.
