Heheheh, "Tactical" claims always crack me up, as does the term "obsolete weaponry". You'd be surprised what modern US Army Special Forces takes into the field, and guerrilla forces 'round the world still use. A great many WWII arms, from several nations, are still maintained and used in our arsenal and there aren't just a few that I've used as "deniable weapons" in genuine tactical situations in several countries. I don't tend to glorify any weapon, but I do appreciate those made and fielded by NAZI Germany for their accuracy and craftsmanship. In real world situations though, not my first choice. The American mass produced arms of that era are. Why? They are cheaper to replace/ repair, and much easier to teach a novice to fire. As accurate? No, but "spray & pray" firing is the reality in combat, concerns of accuracy are rare. The AK is a piece of garbage but is popular for just these reasons as well. When I want, or the mission calls for, accuracy I'll go to a more modern weapon, and have a long list of available candidates there. I collect modern, because I want reliability and technological advances the above don't have. If the sh*t hits the fan though, I'll be raiding your collections too.
