You can pick up his gun, but only for certain reasons:
-You can keep it while your in country but you can't take it back to the states with you.And you can't use it operationally.And this only applies to certain units.
-Taking the weapon to have it turned in.To keep it out of enemy hands.
-Certain special operations may use them as back up or to confuse the enemy in certain operations.
Weapons that can't be taken, such as during house-to-house fighting are often destroyed in place.Items I have taken are uniforms,hats,ammo pouches, helmets, bayonets.What can't be brought back is anything that will/or is meant to explode.Also anything that is contaminated(by chemical agents,blood,or encrusted with sand or dirt).This is to prevent contamination from foreign soil.

No. War trophies are not allowed

Personal effects of enemy fighters or prisoners and weapons, pieces of weapons and ordnance are not authorized "souvenirs".

Why would you want a souvenir of someone you killed?
That's sick.
The military would kick you for mental problems.
