As if RVN wasn’t weapons central for the while. ‘Think I sampled just about everything but a 106.

Thanks for your service.

Gosh yes! I got to shoot almost everything except the one thing I wanted the most, an M1 Thompson.. Somehow could never cadge one to play with.

Carried an M3A1 Greasegun for a while but that thing was heavy, slow-firing and useless.

Used a captured NVA K-50 for a week or so but it was really only good for very close-in stuff and the magazines were a b*@ch to load.

M2 Carbines were light, fast-firing and fun and a lot more useful than an SMG - but the M-14 was the hands-down favorite in a fight.

I feel sorry for those poor guys that didn't get to be with us..They missed a lot.

Welcome home!
