You also want to remember that a story is just that.
The vast majority of souveniers were picked from piles of surendered weapons.
The average infantryman had too much gear of his own to drag around any extra stuff.
Most all my vet acquired stuff came from these piles.
Heard a good story or two, but I don't pay much attention.
Some guys embellish tales, some just make them up or repeat ones they heard.
I got a T99 Arisaka my buddy's dad gave me. He "pried it from the cold dead hands of a son of the empire" on Tarawa.
I really don't think he did, but who knows?
