The Secret Lives of ISIS Fighters
[BBC] Warning: Disturbing content
"Shoot him," he shouts, gesturing at one of them. His nervousness gives him away as the unit’s cook. He’s unarmed, but his fellow soldiers from the Iraqi police special forces - known as the Emergency Response Division - are armed to the teeth and are not taking any chances. The ISIS fighter in the foto is holding a scoped Czech vz-52 with the proprietary 10 rnd magazine removed. It is likely a Model 52/57 which would have been re-chambered from the original 7.62x45 to the more common 7.62x39. The modern scope employs a left side'offset' mount as the weapon's extractor throws the empty casing forward, which is somewhat unique. Not a weapon commonly seen on the modern battlefield.
