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 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.
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
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.
