There were lots of geese in RVN, but the only shotguns we had wouldn't reach out far enough to get us dinner.
Guys from 2/11 ACR came up with solution. Ever see a "Zippo Track" in action?

RVN - Republic of Vietnam - South Vietnam
DPRV - Democratic People's Republic of Vietnam - Communist North Vietnam
2/11 ACR - Second Squadron of the Eleventh Armored Cavalry Regiment. Three Troops (company size units of heavily weaponed M-113 Armored Personal Carriers. These "tracks" usually mounted one .50 cal M2 heavy machine gun and two M-60 7.62 machine guns. Think of them as very, very light tanks.)
The S/3 of the 2/11 ACR during the 1970 Cambodian incursion was a great soldier, a Major Franks. He lost leg at the fight for the airstrip at Snoul, Cambodia. Same Fred Franks who was CG, III Corps and won the big fight in DS.
An Armored Cavalry Squadron also has it's own 155mm SP Howitzer batter and tank company.
A Zippo Track was an M-113 with a mechanized flame thrower as opposed to the .50 machine gun as it's primary weapon.
Charlie hated Zippos.
