During the thread and "debates" into the merits of Capt (Ret) Semrau actions one of the members (Morpheus) posted a picture of some captured small arms in a sea can. This got me thinking as the CAF is working all over the map and been exposed to all kinds "interactions with the locals" it may be a good thread to start at seeing what the boys (and gals) have been taking in. So here it is, post your tour pics of Milsurps under new ownership. To start the ball rolling here are pics a good friend sent me from Somalia.

^ Not really "small arms" but close enough, RPG7 being fired by member of CAR in Somalia on UNOSOM 1.

^ SAR80 a made in Singapore assault rifle which I was told fairly common, AK on the ground (East German make?)

^ MG3

^ PKT , Dshk and other odds and sods

^ .50 M2 receiver, HOT by Euromissle (taken away from a NGO who had bought it to defend their compound but did not have a clue what it was or what to do with it), Breda Model 37 and a Breda Model 30. And a RPD (must be awaiting the FRT from the RCMP still)
I tried to bring over that sea can pic but I think once a thread is locked its really locked down.
I think we can feel free to post from Boer War, First and Second World Wars/Korea/Umpteen "peacekeeping" missions, its all good.

It's nice to see picture from somalia, i was there. One of the best part when i was there it's to do search, find gun and on the way back to the camp, stop and do an improvise shooting range with the gun we sized.
 
No pictures allowed where I was unfortunately.
VSO would send back whole triwalls of captured AK47's of all makes and years, SKS's, PKM's, old OLD Lee Enfields etc etc Many all "blinged up" by the Talibans. Ball bearings embedded into the wood handles for Super Islamic Tactical Grip! lol

I got to handle many that came through for inventory and eventually destroyed them by detonation on the back 40.
One return had an original AK47 Ishevsk Type 2 1952 all matching! It was beat to unholy s**t but all the parts were there. Imagine the history on that piece alone, even disregarding the rarity!
Just like all the others, C4 in the receiver 200gr Cord down the barrel and a bangalore across the top of the line of them :(
 
CANFORME EOD Tp in Kuwait City made a three way trade with the USMC for 24 different AKs with flats of beer off the Royal Navy minesweeping mother ship. I like the East German AK's build quality the best. Someone in Ottawa read the Janes All the World's Armies listing for Iraq, and sent us a collection list. They got what was available.
 
Hi Klunk - love the second picture you posted. I have the same one just a little different angle.
Good times we had!
 
Anybody run across any old Martini Henry's in Afghanistan? The Mujahideen found their heavy wad of lead to be helpful when flung thru the blades of a Soviet helicopter. And how about Long Branch No4s? We still had a swack of them in war reserve in the late '70s. They suddenly disappeared in the early '80s.

I had two of them hanging up on the wall of my mud hut but wasn't allowed to being them home

Interesting pics....too bad Canadians can not bring home firearm war trophies ; does not really seem fair after sticking their necks out in the Sand Box.....
