    I didn't think to take photos of it at the time, but years ago my family went on a trip to South East Asia. We were in Viet Nam, and they have a museum at the Cu Chi Tunnels. They had created trails for tourist to freely roam upon without a guide and along these trailers were multiple huts. There was nothing in these huts except locked rifle racks. What were in these rifle racks you might ask? NOTHING BUT M1s! There must have been 100 or more M1s interspersed throughout the huts on the trail. Now these M1s must be dogs I couldn't see them well enough as there was no lighting in the huts but I remember seeing one rifle with a giant portion of the front handguard blown off. I assume from that the rifles were in very poor shape as the huts were made out of vegitation and the racks rattled easily and had a thin piece of plexiglass covering the rack which could move if you touched it. Should'a took photos!

    EDIT: I forgot, they had a weapons range there as well. They gave you 10 rounds to fire out of a full auto AK, M-60, M-16, M1919 .30-Cal, Garandicon, and a few others which escape me at the moment. There are photos of the range on google. (Added photo of what they had captured and was available to shoot.)
