#Syria 🇸🇾: #YPJ fighters released a video of captured weapons after their operations against #ISIS militants in #Raqqa, AANES. The video also shows a rare WW2-era German StG 44/MP44 rifle along with one 7.92x33mm Kurz magazine as well.

Much better quality

I wonder why the rifle lost its handguard #MP44 #StG44 #Sturmgewehr

3d printed #MP44 in 1:2 scale, roughly 47 cm/ 18.5 in in length (after assembly). Magazines for scale. What do you think?

Photos of the Stg44 show it is often made up of quite a variety of different metals in terms of colours. I wanted to break up the large chunk of metal to make it more interesting. Quite pleased with the result. No metallics were used in painting this.

MP44 and PPSh that were for sale in Yemen, they probably got them from Egypt during the North Yemen Civil War.
