Trust me, you would be amazed at what goes on in the real world of international arms dealing....Not to menton the gray world of international intrigue....
I know for a fact that one country kept a very large inventory of firearms of various makes and models, some real, some made by their own well known factory, after all if you want to leave a firearm behind after doing some evil deed what better than to leave say a Colt 1911a1 so all concerned will blame your exploit on the Americans ??
After all we are talking n the days of the cold war, everybody left each others toys behind so the enemy would be blamed or at the very least embarassed....
How do I know this you ask, hey I bought out the warehouse in question after the dowfall of Eastern Europe, it was on the grounds of the KGB training academy in xxxxx
To this day I often get a giggle when somebody offers a genuine such and such for sale, I have only to see the serial number to recognize one of the many that found their way to North America and Europe....
When you hear a story about the arms trade, don't dismiss it out of hand, it might just be true....
