Instructions to troops on how to destroy weapons prior to capture

Interesting instructions to U.S. troops in WW II on how to destroy/disable weapons prior to capture.

I especially like method #2 for the .30 and .50 caliber machine guns (need to take cover on this one!)

It would be great to find out if something similar was issued to German troops (i.e, how to disable your k98k)
