wikipedia says that the MP-40 was still being used by the Norwegian Home Guard up till the 1990s. Also some MP-40s used in the Balkans during the breakup of Yugoslavia.

Its interesting the number of WWII gear that is still being used around the world. There was a video a couple of years ago showing Columbia Army troops, using US-surplus M-1917A1 water-cooled machine guns against the drug cartels.
Korean war vintage 3.5-inch bazookas were used by the IDF through the 1980s.
Several African armies still use bolt action Mausers.
