Mine has suffered this fate. It is not a particularly inspiring weapon, but considering that my grandfather spent a portion of his life retrieving and bringing it home with him, it has value to me in that regard. I have only fired the German and British entries in this discussion, so I can compare it only to them...and there is no comparison.
But as Adam so succintly stated:
