The british army still regularly dishes up misinformation to the locals on peace keeping assignments with regards to weapons abilities and limitations....As i'm sure every other nations army does too....

I agree on not taking prisoner reports at face value for all those reasons you stated, that's why I was curious about anybody having more trustworthy information.
However, I was very surprised about all the information the prisoner reports stated, that was accurate. I think there were prisoners that actually told the interrogators everything they knew (or they were eavesdropped on). For various reasons there are prisoners and sailors who don't follow their orders.
