German designations of foreign firearms in World War II

Purpose
The purpose of these lists are three fold:
 * 1) Provide a list of German designations for foreign firearms.
 * 2) Correlate German weapons designations with their associated wiki pages.
 * 3) Provide a reference for captured foreign firearms in German service during WWII.

Background
Before the war began the German armed forces Heereswaffenamt compiled a list of known foreign equipment and assigned a unique number to each weapon. These weapons were called Fremdgerät or Beutegerät ("foreign device" or "captured device") and their technical details were recorded in a six-volume set that was periodically updated. The Germans also captured large amounts of foreign weapons during WWII that they tested and cataloged using the same system. The Germans sometimes referred to these weapons as Kriegsbeute ("war booty") and the Fremdgerät numbers are sometimes referred to as Beute Nummers ("booty numbers")

The format for these designations follow this pattern. The German designation of the type of firearm, model/year number or unique identification number and lastly its country code. In the first example there's a carbine and it has been assigned a unique identification number and it is French. In the second example there's a Pistol with a model/year designation and it is Austrian. In practice common model designations don't always share the same ID numbers. Because a Mauser model 98 could be produced in different countries, have different calibers and have a different model/year or unique identification number for each country. Also while a Mauser model 98 from different countries may be able to fire the same ammunition that doesn't mean their parts are compatible or interchangeable. Lastly unique numbers with / mean the weapon is a sub-variant. For a list of German military terms see Glossary of German military terms.
