Didn't the germans also kill anyone who was caught with a shotgun in an attempt to stop the americans from using it?

They made the threat, but I don't believe they carried through with it; I believe we made a counter-threat to execute German soldiers in retaliation if they did, which was enough to dissuade them.

Was it a threat specifically to shoot them with a shotgun?
