During the last days of WWII, the Nazis were so depleted of personnel they had to resort to create an “army” called Volkssturm and composed of the very young and the very old to defend Berlin.

In Venezuela, President Maduro put on display its Milicianos which is his version of the Volkssturm armed with some interesting choice of rifles:

And even though we may laugh at them, they are powerful simply because they have  gun which the majority of Venezuelans (willingly) do not have. So you can laugh at grandpa carrying a rifle probably built 40 years before he was born, but if he can pull the trigger and kill your ass, the Revolution will be defended.
