Researching Mausers on wikipedia, I read they are still involved in present day armed conflicts, but does anyone know if they in fact held their own against an industrialized nation's army recently, or are we talking about a civil war in the Congo?
I got to wondering this partly from the Garand thread that I started recently where I threw out a "just curious" question and asked how I would fare in a modern battlefield with a Garand. I do realize that training has a lot to do with it so I guess if you know what kind of training said milsurp soldiers are using/or what kind of training would be required that should also be included in your answer too.
My guess is most of this Mauser/old milsurp activity is going on the mid-east? I figure most insurgents have AKs and OK training, while a few volunteers are fighting with whatever and however? Anyone know?
