I read this one last year. I don't recall any descriptions of American weaponry - I could be wrong. He extensively described captured Russian rifles and ammunition which was used until Germany took snipers more seriously - including explosive rifle rounds. I also recall the account of ditching his sniper rifle as the eastern front collapsed, for obvious reasons of what would happen if he was caught with it.
