StG-44's are evidently still in use in the Middle East, judging from photographs, though there can't be many of them. Interesting how such things never quite go away.

On the other hand, I've never seen a photo of a bolt action (US sniper rifles excluded) in use there or of any WWII full size semi-auto rifle.
