Enemy Weapons: World War 2 German Infantry Small Arms

Captured German arms were used in this World War 2 era US Army training film to familiarize American troops with the weapons of their enemy.(Who knows, maybe they thought they might have to be used in combat if you ran out of ammo.) The 9mm “Schmeisser“ MP-40 machine pistol, the MG-34 machine gun, MG 42 machine gun and the 1898K Mauser rifle are all demonstrated. That includes a demonstration of features, field stripping, and firing of each weapon. Various tripod mounts are demonstrated
