MAKES YOU SICK, DOESN'T IT??

The website is based in the UK, but do you have any idea where these guns are rusting in the sun?

Has to be a US dump site or US controlled? Most other countries would never get rid of weapons like that, while the US would?

Got a reply from the owner of the website where the photos were posted.

Turns out they photos were taken in Vietnam in the 1980's by someone who was there for the purpose of cleaning up that mess...

What a crying shame... It is surprising that the Vietnamese government didn't sell this abandoned hardware for the cash!

I could retire on just the money from the sale of the Thompson SMG's alone!

Vietnam was a gun collector's disneyland. I was a combat engineer so a lot of the captured useless ordnance was passed our way for the big boom solution. Saw WWII hardware from WWII from France, Germany, US, USSR, China, and N.Korea. We traded that stuff among us like eight year olds did marbles. Two AKs and a Deg MG with three full drums for a Mat 49? How about three M1 carbines and an 03 for a MG42? A M3A1 with four clips and 500 rounds for a 91 sniper? A Garand for a K98?When I was attached doing demo work with a rome plow land clearing company we wouldn't even report the bunkers found cause we'd have to work our a** off digging all the stuff out for counting just to blow it up later, found out it was easier just to blow it up in the bunker and run the dozers over what was left. Never saw any Lugers.
