you're both wrong, he runs out of ammo ... the STG44 is a very comfortable rifle to shoot. its the grandfather to all assault rifle configuration, and the concept that birthed the AK47 just a few years after the war... the MP43 being the first battle rifle ever invented... it was certainly a great platform and realistically our american troops would use enemy weapons if they needed to. in this case he was saving is ammo... the other thing to this is they were raiding towns ... they had much more access to enemy ammo than they did american ammo ... just like in the old medal of honor games you go in with standard issue and switch to enemy weapons. That said this movie script was written with a array of soldier's journals, and they made every possible effort to make sure all their gear was authintic and time correct. this is only the second movie in the entire history to feature a real tiger tank and not just a prop. it was a first gen Tiger 1 which was another realistic detail. The movie takes place at the end of the war and Germany was using every last resource they could and reverting to older equipment. This movie also features 4 real M4 Sharman tanks ... which is a medium sized tank.
