Where does she get the ammo for the sturmgewher MP44?

There is at least company that still makes the ammo, but the Soviets dumped a lot of German stuff into North Africa after the war. It would not surprise me if there were cases of ammo sitting in warehouse somewhere.

I knew this French guy who used to collect and buy/sell antique firearms who has went to North Africa and bought quite a few of these and other WWII and even WWI weapons over the years. I've also heard that they've been found in Iraq and Afghanistan since we invaded. Afghanistan does not surprise me - some of those people back up in the remote tribal areas are toting 100 year old rifles and are quite happy with them.

Hey, I’m happy with my 98 Mauser in 280 Improved, and my P14 in 375 Ouch and Ouch, and even my favorite pistol celebrates it’s 100th birthday this year.
