I thought I'd start a little game of naming weapons that were used by both sides. Note: this excludes captured weapons, unless put into production by the other side. Lets says either produced or purchased by both sides. To increase the scope lets say all wars not just WWII.
I can think of two.
1. The Browning HP pistol was used by the Waffen SS after the capitualtion of Belgium AND it was used by the Canadians as the Browning corporation had just opened a factory in Canada where the pistol was produced under license.
2. The Oerlikon 40mm Anti-Aircraft gun. This gun was sold by Switzerland to both Germany, Japan and the USA. The funnying thing was both the IJN and USN used this gun as their principal AAA defense on capital ships.
Ok that should get the ball rolling, can anybody think of anything else?
