Villiars- You say that a lot of STG44s turned up in Syria recently. Where the heck could they get ammo for them? I thought that the STG44 used a unique round? I may well be wrong here, though. Just curious.

Donzi, you are not wrong. The MP44 shoots the 8mm Kurz round.
Standard 8mm on the left, 8mm Kurz on the right

Bill,
Yeah, that's exactly the round I had thought. Again not sure where the Syrians, or anyone else, would find sufficient 8mm Kurz ammo to make the weapon practical to use now. JMHO, of course.
