Yes, you will never find European or American guns or ammunition in conflict zones...

Well, yes, if you find it is only in the hands of the good guys

That't a joke, right?

Actually it's not far from the truth. A few AR style rifles were found in IS territory, but these were mostly show guns for high ranking officers, as they hardly had .223 available.

The Russian ammo was there in abundance, however... even commercial packaged AK ammo from Barnauld and the likes.

The fact that the Russian gov't loaned anti aircraft missiles to Ukrainian insurgents who used one to shoot down a Malaysian airliner filled with mostly Dutch holidaymakers and tried to cover this up, rather than accept responsibility for it, doesn't help either.

More a bit of sarcasm than a joke.

But Vlim really seems to believe it

I read the reports on small arms finds in former IS territory. Mostly Russian, some Chinese and very few US guns.
