I find it interesting that ammunition [7.92 Kurz] for the STG44 was still being manufactured in 1961 (if I'm reading the case correctly)...

7.92 Kurz next to 7.92 x 57...

The Kurz round is steel cased...

I haven't come across any reference to these 'assault rifles' being used by anyone following WW II...Has anyone else???
