    the most of these weapons going to a collecting point always they ended in a scrapyard, or a army museum of they were taking home as a caputerd weapon sort of wartrophy for the troops.

    The one on the right looks like a BAR...but who knows? Probably all pieced together anyways. Most of the so called "combatants" over there can't shoot anyways. They point and pull...or stick their rifle above a boulder and shoot, or around a building...almost never aimed.


    *** The mp40 looks new probably because it was never fired and only dropped once ***

    Those are indeed two AK Variants and a M1 SMG. The two rifles could be anything. Regards Thomas
