Soldiers Finding WWII Weapons in Iraq



The then Kingdom of Iraq was a British "protectorate" and thus, littered with British arms, before and even after WWII.

Does the F15E work in PR but you just dont have a map for it?

Now that is what I would call a good proof.

Quite a bit of $$$ there too. I remember seeing a article where some captured small arms were kept in storage, a lot were destroyed.

Kinda surprised there is no sorta, ship back and sell to dealers program? Or is it something quite iffy with the Military selling civs weapons? please enlighten me!

I'm guessing shipping costs and administrating the entire system would cost a bit as well. Those weapons have likely not been kept in the best condition over time, so value would be low unless you just HAD to have a weapon that had been down there.

Why do the African Resistance Fighters' stamina deplete quicker than the US Army/USMC Soldiers?

Is it to show that the ARF's conditioning and physical training isn't up to conventional forces standard who are trained in wearing body armor, and handling weapons?

It's not intentional. It will be fixed next patch.

I'm not sure but i think the Canadian forces have the same bad stamina as well.

That has also been fixed.

Will Insurgency ever be fixed?

Some of the more modern ones were used to re-equip the Iraqi Army. A great deal more were destroyed mechanically or explosively, though. Once heard that antique, non-full automatic weapons like the MN and SMLE could actually be taken home as trophies provided the COC issued a certification that the weapon was captured by the troop and accounted for (and had not simply fallen off the truck into the troop's possession) and the certificate was attached to the weapon at all times during transport. But upon getting home some of them were still destroyed, possibly as a matter of local policy.

Mockingbird is correct. The USG actually bringing back a load of these rifles to sell them on the civilian market would probably not bring them anywhere near as much money as it costs to transport them back to the States. They're not in great condition and millions of them were made. Some of the more exotic ones (Stg-44), however, museums and other private collectors might offer a bit for. But most likely any surviving examples will end up in military museums. Until budget cuts force those to close and they'll be destroyed lest another evil antiquated gun find its way onto America's streets .

If by "fixed" you mean "removed," which would be a guaranteed solution to the problem, I can only hope.

Why does the NVA team on Charlie's Point still get the BTR-60 and ZSU-57? They are a bit overpowering as the US only gets boats and choppers as their only heavy assets against a btr-60 and basically a tank with a rapid fire AA cannon.

So you wan't to kill the best gamemode in PR? Is that why Insurgents are such shit now? Insurgency is the main reason why most people got into PR and continued to play it. 90% of the games I played were Insurgency because it's so fun. AAS is just linear conquest. INS has this dynamic nature which AAS lacks and that keeps INS fun.

I haven't played PR in a few weeks because of how bad Insurgency is now.

I assure you that noone manipulated the Insurgency mode to make it worse. That's Eddies personal opinion, and does not mean that the Dev team is trying to get rid of the mode in some sort of secret sneaky way. If the Devs don't want it anymore, they'll just cut it out.

I actually like it now. We get to play more AAS as a result.

Just because you hate something doesn't mean you have it ruin it for everyone else.
