Re: Worlds Armed Forces Pictures III

On the last page, in the series of pics with the French and Afghan soldiers on a raid, you can see that on of the guns they sized was a Soviet WWII LMG. I wonder how that gun came to be there? If it was in America, Russia, Europe or really anywhere else it would be a museum piece. It's a testament to the ruggedness of Russian firearms and military hardware in general that it still works.
