I concur with JamesK
Growing up around WWII vets, I distinctly remember hearing several stories about quartermasters, supply, and other logisticans who would trade items such as cigarettes, candy, and of course, alchohol, for captured weapons. This was especially prevalent in Japan.
I also know occupation forces managed to bring rifles back, but many had the mums ground. Back then, a letter from a comanding officer or delegated NCO would allow passage.
Somehow many weapons ended up back in the states (No telling How) as some of you all know how resourseful GIs can be.
