I am however curious about how to use the sights.

@MPiKM
A pristine East German MPi-KMS-72 on sale in #Sanaa #Yemen recently for 12k Saudi Riyal (Around $3,200) with original kit. These are very well regarded locally.

Fanastic presentation as usual.

That East German probably came from this arms dealer's stock in Yemen - his instagram is here: https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kndhaFfZJ/

The "v" notch is going to be really close to your eye and you'd have to have your cheek weld be on your temple to make it work.  My guess is the sights are not all that important when you have one of those.

The Mauser 1916 was produced in both a full-stocked carbine variant – the Mauser Selbstladekarabiner and the Flieger-Karabiner variant seen here. The firearm is gas operated and uses a flapper delayed blowback action. The M1916 feeds from a detachable 20 or 25 round box magazine which is similar looking to that of an MG13, in fact the MG13 magazines does insert and lock into the rifle. They were produced and introduced in 1916, were only made in a very small quantity, reportedly around 1,000 in total, split between the two variations. The complex machining needed to allow the weapon to function meant that it was expensive to manufacture. The recoil impulse and somewhat finicky mechanism were also seen as disadvantages in the face of cheaper and more reliable machine guns and submachine guns.

That's what mine cost.  They're nice guns, very good recoil impulse.  Plus, free bullet fountain!

Holy fuck at that MK7

I love watching videos of those being deployed at places like that main IED road in Baghdad.

First pic looks like a heat/mirage shield on the suppressor. Wonder if it works to keep the sight picture clear.

SIG 2022's were not uncommon within Mosul, and highly prized.

Interestingly, 2022's pricing was less than Glock 19, (@$2400USD), or CZ P07's approximately half the costs of a G19.

My understanding is the US supplied the Iraqi Army and National Police somewhere in the neighborhood of 700k G19's. (Many of which promptly ended up sold to the black market. Soldiers had insufficient salaries and couldn't support their families, so Iraqi government provided firearms came up for sale.) During Isis, anyone found with a G19, or any M16 family of rifles, was immediately under threat of incarceration, torture, and death, since these were known to have been Iraqi government sourced from the US, and thus so possession to be surmised to be of an Isis enemy.

ETA. Of G19's...  With the replacement of a readily obtainable part, G19's then became select fire. Cost of part was then about $2-300. (G18's were rare.)

Maybe I’m biased but the m4 feels ergonomically superior. Given the option, I would take an m4 every time.

Probably exported to arm security contractors, Iraqi LE and anyone deemed to be a "good guy" (we all know how well that worked out).
