That's hard to say... most nations have armed, prop-driven border patrol
aircraft that are regularly used. How about those AC-130's used by Colombia
to fight the drug cartels? Or those
things the Peruvians use to fight the Sgining Path?
The OP specified piston engined not propellor driven.
AC-130's are turboprops.
