Small-arms inventory of standard operational u-boat 1942/43

Hello,

To kick things off I've got a pretty esoteric question: Can anyone tell me what the small-arms inventory of the standard operational u-boat was in 1942/43 in say a Type VII boat operating in the North Atlantic? This inventory would exclude the usual AA armament of 20mm cannon in single or multiple mounts or the less prevalent 13mm guns used on some boats, but would include pistols, rifles, submachine-guns, and light/multipurpose 7.92mm machine-guns (Mg 34 or Mg 42) presumably stored in the boat's armoury.
The usual u-boat sites that I've checked don't seem to have this topic covered (unless I've missed it); however, I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Any help will be apprecited.

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
