About The ARVN Soldier
He's ARVN, note the beret The Winchester
- You´r right. I Dont really know much about the ARVN. Oliveira
About the XM16A1
These are actually M16E1s, which were available to the men of the 1st Cavalry Division at the time of the Battle of Ia Drang and therefore not an anachronism. The M16E1 (sometimes also known as the XM16E1) was a variant of the M16 that featured a forward assist but maintained the three-pronged flashhider of the original M16. If you look closly in some of the posted photographs as well as throughout the film, this is readily apparent.SAWGunner89 20:50, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
- You´r right too. I never noticed the forward assist on the pre-1967 M16.Oliveira
SKS Rilfes
You see an SKS here and there in the hands of North Vietnamese soldiers and on the pile of guns at the end of the film.
