As alanint mention, we used the in our military after ww2. And in some low priority or 'non fighting' divisions as late as into the 90s. (Not in lack of MP5's at the time, but rather just forgotten 'upgrades'. I know of a home guard medical guy who had one in his closet when I spoke to him in -95!)
I can't believe these MP40's has been sold somehow.. so that only leaves us with two alternatives for the majority of them; -stored away by the thousands or -melted down by the thousands.
I believe there is a 50% chance for both. The same probably goes for all other occupied countries that used them.
