Will the military let you use/keep captured enemy weapons? I would assume they'd at least train you to do so in a pinch.
I'm listening to Generation Kill and one of the Marines (the one they call "Captain America") is said to be using an East German LMG he captured.

You aren't supposed to but let's just say it's selectively enforced and/or somebody sneaks it home

There have been cases where soldiers have been allowed to use them - most notably someone who captured a PPSh in Iraq and was allowed to use it in room clearing until they ran out of ammo for it. As I recall, the gun is now on display at division headquarters. As for bringbacks for individual soldiers, the answer is a most definite no, and has been since just after Vietnam.

Dope, I'll bet that drum mag was a hell of a room clearer.

No, that was a different one that, as I recall, some CIA type came across years later in Syria that had been used by ISIS.

I haven't seen the TV show. The author of the book is some onionsboy journalist for Rolling Stone who was embedded with First Recon, and he described it as a "machine gun", so I assumed it was an LMG.

I'm disappointed he didn't just put in an order for more ammo.

Meaning he wasted some people with it. Based.
