We need to remember that the people who made out those "capture papers" were not gun experts. They typed or wrote what they thought they knew or what someone told them about a gun. I have seen capture papers that called a P.38 a "Luger" and a Type 14 a "Jap Luger". As long as the paper was enough to let the GI bring back his souvenir, no one really cared.
