Jim, Thought it quite a nice piece as well as so many diverse weapons in use. Didn't realise they did in the 60's.

Yep, I watch those sort of vids regularly, even just go to some of them firing. Those are the sort of US issue I collected for years and of course all before back to the Krag. One or two shots of a shotgun in use, M14s everywhere and the .30 being employed by ARVN. .30 carbines in ARVN or scout use...a few medium weapons in support... Takes you back to the beginning because that's how they were dressed when I started, lots of those vets still serving when I started too.
