Before the 30 round magazine became available for the M16, note the Stoner 63 machine guns - which I believe was the first belt fed 5,56mm. Stoner links and not quite the same as the M249 M27 links

Why do they all look like GIJoe's?

We used to call that long 'grass' stuff 'lallang' It would shred your clothing in a short while. As I recall, it had little barbs running down the edges so even when it was cut short it would start to chomp away at your thin rubberised lightweight jungle boots. So high protected 'boots combat' became the norm. I never remember it that long though as I think it was cropped and used for whatever they used it for in Malaya and SVn

They use lalang grass for thatching roofs.

The tall grass in the picture looks like elephant grass.

jonnyc, you nailed it. This is a picture of VERY high end action figures. They are 1/6th scale and can run over $200 a pop. Made by a company called Hot Toys.

Googlefu found this review.
