Going with what happened after World War Two, likely places for these weapons to end up:
* taken home by soldiers
* used by soldiers who have worse kit
* given to friendly governments fighting insurgency
* given to insurgents who are on your side, or at least fighting your enemies or maybe that you just want to influence (particularly deniable allies)
* used for own national troops familiarization
* used by henchmen of movie villains ten to twenty years later
* I had lots of Soviet kit given to the Germans for the Ost units that had trained on it previously (see my Warsaw Pact Small Arms Guide for details)
* In TW2000 maybe used to equip units where you are short of weapons (I even have a few UK based units equipped with it (see my UK Small Arms Guide)
