The Isralies captured a Pz IV from Syria during one of their tussles.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I could have gone my whole life without ever seeing this video and, worse, having this same thought.

It'd be like finding an FW-190 on blocks in a desert warehouse and chopping it up for the price of the scrap...

Am I the only one that noticed that the shipping lable on that crate states that these rifles are replica's chambered in 22LR ?
I stand corrected if I'm wroung, but I found that to be quite peculiar.

imagine if that many STG44 parts kits coming in the country with torch cut recievers and chopped barrels.

There would be enough demand to have new barrels made and new recievers made. I'm sure someone like prexus would have 80% solutions in no time.

Ah...those of us who like to build can only dream.

The Syrian government bought the Russian Army stocks of the ammo, which were substantial.

Now I think I actually care about this conflict. I think we should bombard the region with phosgene for a while, then when it's safe, stroll in and load up a couple trucks with those rifles.

The east germans used the StG44 as a standard rifle after 1948 and they 'sold' most of their 44's and all their old WW2 armour, Sturmgeschütze and a few Panthers to the syrians in the 70's.

Great, now you've got me looking through all of the Osprey books on the Mideast armies.

I'm pretty sure that the Syrians also used knockoffs of late-war German camouflage as well.

It just goes to show how many guns there are around.

After seeing the tens of thousands of rifles looted in Libya and now these you really have to wonder how many there are.

Even here in the restricted UK, I saw approx 900 AK 47 type rifles just last week.
All working and in various states of condition.

They were all Palestinian captures from Israel that were sold on the open market for peanuts
