Just when you thought there wasn't any use for WWII weapons in the modern world check out this pic, here is the caption:

Sunni Muslim gunmen stands behind sand barricades as one of them points his submachine gun through a hole in a wall during clashes in the Bab al-Tabbaneh neighbourhood of the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli. G**** Images

Why not? If it throws bullets it will do the job.

It's odd. How did a PPSH end up in Tripoli? Ex KGB turned gangster selling weapons?

Maybe they bought them from the Russians after the collapse of the U.S.S.R. Put them in storage for a while until some one open it up.

heck, i just saw a time magazine (i think) picture of Afghani Tribal leaders, one with an old M3 Grease Gun... another with an AK47.

There's a photo of Marines in Iraq searching a building, and one of them is carrying a PPsH41 with his M16A4 slung on his back.

I believe they call the PPsH "The Room Clearer" and is a favorite weapon in house to house because of it's length and high ammo capacity in the drum mags.

There was also a photo floating around a year or two ago of a guy in Lebanon using a Stg44. That kind of surprised me but like KneeJoint said, if it throws bullets....

In Soldier Of Fortune, there was a pic of Insurgent with German MP-44 in Iraq.

This is all news to me, if its a gun i guess insurgants will use anything.

No telling where the WW2 vintage weapons came from. Probably surplused out by the Soviets to anyone with the cash. I saw a pic in Newsweek or Time of Hamas/Hezbollah sniper with a Mosin-Nagant M91/30 sniper rifle. I guess it beats rocks.
