It's The Lost Evidence Drinking Game! Take a shot every time he mentions these "stunning high resolution photographs".

@northwi60 Its very clearly an MP40. It looks nothing like a Type 100. I am familiar with both weapons from frequent first hand experience.

@laxjoh Cheers. The query stuck in my head for years.

@Noodles37UK Just like South Korea, Phillippines remained in good relations with the US through the Cold War. And it also helps as the US forces were one of the prominent forces that liberated the Philippines.
