No offense...I know need more control on generals selling weapon under table, or privates "loosing" weapon. This is disgusting thing and should have hard labor at end of course.

But still common. And can be utilized to good effect by using such persons and their contacts to collect even larger rewards for capture of senior enemies making such deals, or supplying them with rigged weapons with nasty surprises includes at no extra charge.

Doesn't have to be generals... I once heard a story about a Soviet crew trading their tank for vodka and pickled eggs. The innkeeper they traded it to was caught because he was selling such high quality scrap steel... Don't know how true the story is, but it it is just silly enough to be true!

And lord only knows how much stuff comes back from training exercises in duffle bags.
Once upon time on a range in Grafenwoehr, my LT found one more mortar round... AFTER he finished burning the extra charges. We HAD to get rid of the round and didn't have enough of charges to fire it all the way to the target area.
A short round would look REAL bad, bringing the round back would be real bad, and somebody might notice that we hadn't fired all of the rounds if we just hid it... But one of our mortar crewmen had enough extra charges in his bag to fire the round to the impact area - he was going to use them for fire starters!
