If my Machine Gunner on the second story is able to mow down lots of guys why does the assistant rifleman get all the credit?

Party membership has its privileges.

Steve has explained this in other forums. I'll get him to have a look and repeat it.

*EDIT*

"The guy with all the kills was manning the MG at the time, even though the
other soldier is technically the gunner."

Do you have any in-game screenshots - this might show the assistant, Hochbaum,  doing the business.

Have no screenhots of it, but I've seen 'support weapon', especially the BAR in US Rifle squads, moving around between soldiers in the squad while they've been moving.

Since this happens, it's not sure that it's the designated gunner who has the gun when the action starts.

Gunner and Loader switching roles.
The Loader is the lowest ranking soldier in the squad...so why did Herr Sürenhagen gets to hog the leMG34?  The Nazi party connection is the only logical explaination! [;)]
