Variety of weapons inclusive with a good pile of Pineapples, what type of SMG is that one certainly not a grease gun.
However they certainly have a good view of the terrain one may think it is an O.P.

Chineese type 50 smg?

[Eaglelord17]

PPS 43 very likely Russian as if I remember correctly the Chinese designation was the Type 54 and I believe they didn't start making them until 1954.

The troops...fiddlin' with an enemy weapon that was recovered by one of the guys after the last attack...that doesn't change.

Never hurts to understand how the other sides weapons work, for instance my b/inlaw went back to VN for closure he went to a place where they let you shoot a variety of weapons the chap was most impressed on how my b/inlaw knew instinctively how to handle the AK and the 1911 and commented on it to my b/inlaw to which he replied "Last time I was here I wasn't a tourist........!"

When he went there they issued him with an Owen but took that from him and gave him an F-1 which he said rusted very well and was a POS he swapped that for an L2A1 for the remainder of his tour.

That's not a nice to know or should know or could know...It's a MUST know... You never know when you'll be reduced to using that.

Exactly

Interesting to note the M2/M1 Carbine hasn't been fitted with a bayonet bar yet in that pic.

I thought the same thing, but if you look close you'll see it.
