Taking a trophy isn't the same as disarming a prisoner of war.
I'm not sure whether or not taking a firearm (as a trophy) is against any regulations, U. S. or otherwise. I hope we figure this out.

"Art. 18. All effects and articles of personal use, except arms, horses, military equipment and military documents, shall remain in the possession of prisoners of war, likewise their metal helmets and gas masks and like articles issued for personal protection. Effects and articles used for their clothing or feeding shall likewise remain in their possession, even if such effects and articles belong to their regulation military equipment"
In other words, bs.
