>>58344516>DonbasThat's awesome, you've gotta wonder how much stuff like that is still out there and untouchedreminds me of this from a few years agohttps://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/06/24/russian-warehouse-find-crates-of-machine-guns/

>>58344516>4:00WHERE CAN I GET SAID POSTERS?
>>58344577Write to do Soledar with a self addressed stamped envelope.

>>58344516The inevitable Call of Duty game about this war is gonna have some insane loadout options
Let me guess, you need more?
So why dig out this old crap video from several months ago again? Out of material?
>>58344539For a time most of the really nice Thompson "kits" were coming in from Russia, as well as loads of 1943 dated .45 ACP.
>>58344666
>>58344671>1943 dated .45 ACP.Was that the steel cased stuff?
>>58344516Damn shame we didn't see any in action.
>>58344516do they have the .45 to feed them? the PPSH's are probably already being buried in a trench somewhere cuddling a conscript. >>58344671when was this?
>>5834464723 Feb, 2022: A young gun nerd in the DPR finds a monkeys paw at a curiosity shop. Browsing /k/ that night, he sees a picture of an M1921 Thompson with 50 round drum, and says "I wish I had one of those." One finger curls in...
>>58344647I count on it.
>>58344516let me in let me in let me in let me in let me in let me in
>>58344516I think its interesting there's an apparent inverse relationship between age of the weapon and its condition. The Barrets and AKs looked like rusted shit while the Thompson and Maxims looked factory new.
>>58344718Well it is a salt mine and the weapons in the crate are probably still covered in cosmoline.
>>58344718They were actively using it as a repair station. All the junk AKs were probably brought in and salvaged for parts, don’t think they were from the actual storage. I find it interesting both sides seem to have zero interest in the Thompsons and not even a soldier has seemed to try one out for the meme or unironically. It was designed for trench warfare after all.
>>58344796I'd imagine .45 is not an easy cartridge to come by
>>58344796Tommy guns shot 45s. Would they even have ammo for it?
>>58344813
>>58344796>it was designed for trench warfarearen't they engaged in that?
>>58344845It's a serious question. Russia makes ammo for export. Does Ukraine have anything in rotation that would use. 45?
>>58344679>doesn't even try to deny itPriggie's little propaganda stunt was laughable even back then, you know.
>>58344870Russian troops don't know anything about them and no logistics for a Tommy gun.
>>58344684No, you're thinking of the "EC43", this stuff was Remington, and I forget the other, but all brass, dated '43>>58344699I want to say very late 90's to early 2000's. It came in the typical fishcans, and the boxes were the ones you'd expect to see holding 50 rounds of 7.62X25, but instead they held 42 rounds.
>>58344813I imagine the ammunition still there wasn’t all for AKs. If Syria rebels was able to use STG-44s even for just a month or so, Ukraine can use Thompsons.
>>58344885they can sell them for funds. and you know despite of all the ukie shilling here. at least 2/3 of people here will buy them in a heartbeat.
>>58344898Here is what one of the fishcans looked like.
>>58344910And the opened can showing the boxes and pulltab.
i cant tell if this is shitty russian propaganda or the US is actually sending them tommy guns in these aid packages meant for police/security forces or some shit
>>58344949this is the most retarded thing I've seen on /k/ all week.
>>58344949
>>58344949Leftovers from WW2 lend-lease. The U.S. government gave away what tommies it had in stores as foreign aid in the 50's~70's, and what was left were scrapped.
>>58344516ugh fuck i wish i could get a pristine m1928 tommy
>>58344573Banana boxes in puccia have the same sacred meaning as pallets
>>58344516Some of this stuff seems legit but other shit seems super questionable, like they couldn't help themselves but crank it up via fakery. That rusty ass Barret especially stands out.
>>58345003You think some gopnik knows you have to oil America guns or else they rust in a salt mine?
>>58345003>rusty ass barret that has been obviously blown up and torched. that thing was picked up out of a burned out ukie position when freindlys were collecting dogtags and ammo, thrown on a pile of similar weapons. sent there without a second thought and forgotten about.
