Never heard of M1s used in Vietnam by Americans, though I wouldn't be shocked at the idea.

I know that Thompsons got a lot of use, especially before M16s were standard issue.

Finns kept using good ol' Mosin-Nagants (Ruskie M91 + local M28 & 39 variants), Suomi M31 SMGs, Lahti pistols, Sten SMGs, Stahl-helms, Maxims, etc, all the way to the final years of the Cold War.

There's also been plenty of very recent photos of Stg-44 being used in the modern, Middle-Eastern conflicts.

I was working in Laos about 6 months ago near the border with Vietnam (Khammoune province)...saw a motherfucking villager walk by with an M1 carbine slung over his shoulder. I had an instant boner and wanted to take a million pictures, but my local partners said it would be impolite as they get especially nervous when foreigners take pictures of them with guns. Still, I was very conflicted and wanted to buy it from him.

Soviets offloaded a shit ton of them they captured to third world countries and rebels sympathetic to them, especially in Africa, SE Asia, and the Middle East. Pretty sure they are running exclusively on old German ammo and Yugo production made when they issued it.

>>30683140
Maybe. I'd love to learn more about this. I'm assuming they'd be old stocks from the wars with Israel in the 60s.

>>30667381
A lot of the poor countries with ragtag units still use ww2 era weaponry. For 1 of 2 reasons. Old suplus shit was all they afford, or they had stock piles of the shit that got left in their country from ww2. I dont have any pics, but i have seen vietnam documentaries showing both US and AVRN troops carrying the M1Garand. And obviously we all know about the VC who used anything they could get their hands on, mostly mosins and sks's from china, guns taken off the dead French troops they fought for 2 decades, or ww2 mil surplus, mostly russian and german origin.

>>30682960

The crazy thing is the Maxim is probably the ideal mg for the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, i.e. static trench warfare that's lasted for the better part of 2 years where no one's been able to break through.

The Maxim doesn't have to move much so the weight isn't a big deal, can fire as long as you have ammo and water and uses 7.62x54R, which is still being manufactured right next door in Russia.
