Nam was fifty years ago, I think most people would think Hueys and M16s when asked that question.
When I joined the Army in 1994, my unit still had m16a1
Information that appeared to me in a dream confirms that the US Army was still issuing M16A1 lowers into the 2000s.
I want to understand what you mean by that lol
yeah just casually talking about his astral projection gained knowledge
Doesn’t to elaborate more on it haha
I was in the Army from 2000-2004. I started out with a Vietnam era belt/ suspender gear and an M16a2 (with some A1s still around for training) . By the time I got out, we had updated molly Vests and M4s.
We were using A2s back then. I would have loved to get my hands on an A1 though. Fully auto? Yes please!
I went to basic in 93 and we had A1's in basic but my unit (101st) had A2's for everyone, at least for the combat arms guys.
