MP / StG 44 showing up in Syria

TFB reported on these earlier but a correspondent has surprisingly emailed TFB with more details and pictures. Apparently the FSA captured something like 5000 of these things.
The mind boggles.

The older story I am aware of but the photographs in the newer article on mind-boggling! One wonders where on earth they dug the stuff up.

They probably got stores of the ammo with the guns.
That being said Privi make new 7.92Kurtz ammo.

Apparently they also manufacture the ammo in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
