No, that mag appears to belong to the guy waving his rifle behind him.

Yep just angles making it weird, many of them seem to be firing on areial targets, like the guy laying in the road with the bipod on his feet in the air.

Someone should give Carcano dude one of those F2000's so he won't be sad because he has a lame gun

Just thought I would put up a few more interesting images:

Whoooaaa, a M1919A6. My buddy took a picture of one he ran across in Iraq, but it was just on display. How the hell does he get ammo for that thing? Canvas belts?

These pics are pretty awesome. I'm liking the Sterling and the Beretta M12.

There's some interesting stuff in these pics. I always think it's interesting when you can look at the guns being used in a particular conflict zone, and you can tell a lot about that country's history (i.e. presence of Italian-made guns is a reminder of colonial days).

I might be wrong, but is that even a real Beretta? I've seen blank-firing replicas which have that same finish (blued with gold controls). It could also be a regionally-produced copy, but not sure.

I think you are right. It looks like a Voltran Ekol select fire, full/semi auto replica. The switch for the select fire is bunched up next to the takedown lever, and it also has the little bit of scrollwork on the frame in front of the trigger guard. They are made in turkey, and in russia and the like they are self defense guns that fire rubber bullets.
