Anyway, the point of all of this, is that a buddy of mine (over there) carried a Mini-14. He had his magazines taped bottom to bottom, so he had 40 rounds at his instant command, using only a quick flip of his wrist so to speak. At 'fire in the hole' (checking weapons before a patrol) or in the bush, there was NEVER a problem with his mini. The M-16's were jamming constantly
Say again? The last US combat troops left Vietnam on March 29, 1973.
The first Mini-14s were out in 1974.
Also, didn't you say you were 3rd Force Recon in another post? 3rd Force Recon was in Vietnam from 1967 through 1970. In fact, almost all USMC ground forces were gone by 1971. Unless you went back for the evacuation of Saigon in 1975, it seems odd you'd have a rifle from the future in your unit. I thought only Delta got weapons from the future.
I'm very confused again.
What's the color of the boathouse at Hereford?
