No different than al qaeda and the taliban using old russian gear and munitions from when russia pulled out of afghanistan on us now.

They use whatever they can get theor hands on.

It's just as effective and deadly.

The Taliban were killing ISAF forces with those same Enfields.

Methinks, the next Super-Power dumb enough to try and pacify that crap-hole will get to face all of the M4s left behind.

As long as they will fire they work. If all you can get hands on is old stuff like that? You just have to kill someone with better stuff then take theirs.

In any event...
WWI and WWII firearms will still serve as intended.
Have seen so in Panama , Bosnia and Somalia.

I was quite surprised when I read about them being used in the sandbox.
