    Default WW2 Firearms in use today, Any pics anyone?

    Has anyone got any pics of ww2 small arms in use today (private historic collections dont apply)

    Ill start with a Ppsh41 in use a few years ago by the Afghan police, other spots were M3 Grease guns, DPM's, and of course No4 LE, SMLE's, Mosin M1944. but I only got a pic of the Ppsh. Oh and Tokarev pistols!

    Sorry for the poor pics, im trying to figure out how to get them off an ancient laptop.

    Great photo, I can't imagine trying to find ammo, especialy 8mm Kurtz in qty for the for the MP 43/44. Maybe they use Shotgun News as a supply/ordrer source?
