I have a couple of berthiers, one being the very rare Indochinois variant, and a crude Chinese copy of a Gew 88 that were captured in Vietnam. My dad's unit even captured several k98s and MAS 36s according to his units after action reports. He even witnessed a mosin nagant 91/30 sniper with a homemade silencer being captured over there and who knows what all else was there. I've seen pics of VC with 1903s, p1917's, other us firearms stolen from the South Vietnamese, even crude VC made weapons.
