Any personal defense weapon can still be carried by a medic retaining his or her protected status. The weapon may only be fired in protection of that medic or the casualty being treated by that medic. Unless it's changed the current reg laid down by the US Army states M9, M4 or MP5. That being said a medics protected status is ultimately up to his or her company commander. Currently I'm in Iraq with an M16 and there was until very recently a medic carry an M249. It's uncommon but it happens.

What medical equipment did a fallschirmjager medic carry?
Your question has a couple different answers. The first answer would be for an EM medic assign to a FJ Infantry unit. The medic at this level would carry a cloth bag designed specifically for the FJ medic. The bag contained basically the same items a Heer medic would carry in the leather pouches issued to non-FJ troops. In addition to the cloth bag, the medic would be issued a larger canteen used by medic personnel. The next level would be for the FJ medic NCO. In addition to the cloth bag, and canteen, he would be issued a backpack containing additional bandage material, a small pouch containing medic tools, and lastly, additional drugs not issued to the EM medic. When you move beyond these two, you are primarily asking about field medical units. These would be staffed by doctors in addition to the EM/NCOs assigned to a field medic unit. I hope this helps to answer you question. If you are looking for information on specific items carried, I can provide this information.
Are medics allowed to pull guard duty?
No. They carry weapons for defensive purposes only.AnswerNot only no but NO NO NO NO!!!!! If you are a medic, you are not a combatant under the Geniva Conventions, and are treated differently because you are charged with the medical care of the other POW's. Carry/use an offensive weapon, you are the same classification as the rest of the prisoners. AnswerWhile the second answer above is technically correct, the shift in current combat is to have medics carry weapons, and essentially consider "medic" as just another specialty for the combat infantryman. This is primarily due to the way modern warfare is fought, which tends to be between an organized military and an irregular (guerrilla/insurgent/etc.) force. Guerrilla forces are notorious for not adhering to the Geneva Conventions, so leaving your medic to be at the mercy of folks who don't recognize that person's protected status is unwise. So, sadly, medics now carry weapons. And, thus, they get treated as standard infantrymen.
