Wonder how much kurz he had with him.

>>33207963
A lot of Middle Eastern countries got shipped captured StGs and massive amounts of ammo by the Soviets. Besides that, Prvi Partisan and some other ammo manufacturers still make Kurz, and it's popular among legal civilian shooters in Pakistan because of how their laws are. Feeding the weapon really wouldn't be an issue because the Middle East and East Africa are pretty much the last places on Earth where Kurz can still be commonly had from old Cold War government stockpiles. Of course, AKs and 7.62x39 will always be more prevalent, but still.

How many modern SMGs are issued to soldiers? The point of an assault rifle is it's a near universal weapon. But it is not always ideal.
If the situation calls for an SMG and all that can be found is some relic, and it still works fine, you take it.

Surplus ammo is still kicking around, and if ragheads can make a bunch of AK knockoffs in a shed, they can sure as shit make some 7.92x33mm.

Alternatively, you can make them by cutting down and resizing .308 / 7.62 NATO cases, which is probably what they've also been doing.

Some anon made a quick shoop of her being happy on top of an obliterated barricade

Some guys made other shoops and talked about a name

I wrote something like "operator-chan confirmed for meme" then made a few of my own shoops

And then it kinda blew up.

She basically represents the childish glee you feel when you blow something up, like that time you strapped a cherry bomb to a Barbie doll and sent her face into low orbit, or something like that

Additionally, Yugoslavia and the Czechs made STG's after the war for export using captured tooling. Yugoslavia in particular manufactured and used the gun for a long time after WW2. Lebanon still has massive stockpiles of the guns too.

From the same stockpiles where they got the weapons. Russia exported captured StGs to client states for a while until the AK was plentiful enough to sell. Ammunition always came with the weapons.
