When I went to my uncle's place to shot my DWM Luger, he told me an interesting story about vets bringing back guns from WW2 Europe. Apparently, this practice was frowned upon after the war. He said the authorities on the ship he was on made an announcement that they were all going to be searched the next day for captured guns, and if they found any, that person would spend the next 10 years in Leavenworth. During the night, dozens of GI's went up on deck and chucked tons of K98s, Lugers and other German small arms into the ocean. They never did search them the next day.
