** Conversely the MP-40 was a popular prize for British soldiers, aided by the fact that their issued Sten Guns used the same ammo but were otherwise [[Shur Fine Guns|cheaply made pieces of junk]]
** In addition, German soldiers in WWII preferred US grenades because they were less bulky, while US soldiers preferred German stick grenades because they could be thrown farther, helping to keep the US soldiers out of harm's way.
* Invoked by the Liberator pistol. A single shot pistol that would take longer to reload than manufacture and breaks before firing 50 rounds, but small enough to easily conceal and ambush a guy to shoot him in the back and steal his not shit gun. By making it a horrible weapon it ensured that the enemy would not be able to use them for anything when they captured a few from random airdrops<ref>though liberators were ultimately never airdropped as intended as any bomber time would be better spent dropping real bombs, they were given away by US operatives in Greece and presumably used as intended</ref> before rebels got them.
* In Real Life this practice carries an increased risk of friendly fire, particularly if the guns have distinctly different sounds. This was a problem in the Vietnam conflict.
