...used after their "original" time-frame. Meaning, I'm more fascinated with WWI firearms used during WWII and WWII firearms used during Korea and Vietnam as an example. Yeah, I love the M1 Garand for the service it provided during WWII. But I'm more interested in the use of the M1 Garand after WWII. It's use as a Cold War era firearm. Same with how for the British, the SMLEs were their primary arm during WWI, but Lee Metfords and Long Lees were used too. Or how the Mosin-Nagant served into the Cold War and even today (looking at you Venezuela).
Same goes for handguns, shotguns, aircraft, etc.... I can say this, WWII After WWII blog is awesome. But Even before that blog existed, I was diving deep into the use of older arms in more modern conflicts. The Congo, Rhodesia, Angola, etc. are all major conflict spots where older arms were dumped.
