Well, considering they was older than dirt, and hadn't lived in an arms room in quite a long time, rather well. Fed nicely - reasonably accurate once I tuned them in, and once they was given a good going over, reasonably reliable. Nothing world beating mind: Not as reliable as an AK, not as accurate as the M4's, but all things considered, not too bad. Honestly, I think most of the issues, minor that they was, was more age related.
There was a serious concern if they was going to be safe to fire in the first place, but - and I shit you not here - since I actually downloaded a lot of interesting things to my laptop figuring I would have lots of downtime to fiddle about with things, I had the engineering drawings of the MP44 and by using those and basic common sense knowledge I was able to make reasonably sure they would be.
And, if anyone wants copies of those drawings, let me know. I don't think its frowned on to have them as long as you don't use them?
