Towards the end of the film you can see an NVA soldier using a U.S issued M60 against the American infantry, the film makers probably had no access to an RPD at the time this movie was made.

M60D

• The D Model of the M60 is seen on all helicopters in the film.

Re-enacting a tragedy from the actual battle, an M60D machine gun is seen when American combat aircraft mistakenly fire on their own troops - 7.62x51mm

If you look closely you can see the rear sight is flipped up for some reason, this would make it impossible to aim the rifle.

M79 grenade launcher

• Used by McDaniel (Don James) and then later by Pvt. Joe Beletsky (Tim Quill)

Fake RPG Training Aid

• When Sgt. Frantz (Dylan McDermott) is lecturing the new members of the platoon, he uses a former NVA crossover (a participant in the Chu Hoi program) named "Han" to demonstrate how 'not paying attention' will get them killed. Han is 'armed' with a long empty tube made to resemble an RPG launcher of sorts. It has a dud Warhead on it. "Han" demonstrates his skill and ability by avoiding the noisemakers, trip wire and barbed wire of the perimeter to get within striking distance of the G.I.s
