Re: Vietnam Specific OOBs
You were asking about the USMC using BAR's in Vietnam.
Do a search for M1918A2 in this document.
http://www.usmc.mil/directiv.nsf/0/0...%208300.1C.pdf
The download is a picture of one in use in Vietnam.

Re: Vietnam Specific OOBs
It was used by the ARVN in Vietnam and by the US advisers. The link I got was a USMC form for weapons reporting. You would be surprised what exists in the armoury of the Regular Forces ,Reserve and National Guard troops around the country. Some units never get rid of weapons unless they have to.
link below shows an advisor shooting a BAR on a range with the a ARVN trooper.

Re: Vietnam Specific OOBs
Heh, well unfortunately the project has sort of been on hold. My HD crashed and I spent a fair amount of time bringing all sorts of things back up to date. Then school started, then I got evicted from where I was living, but now, now I have finished moving, so hopefully there might be some updates soon. I've just been really busy as of late hehe.

Re: Vietnam Specific OOBs
Thanks a lot. What is the source on this (as in what's the title of the overall document)? Can you dl the whole document online from the USMC?

Re: Vietnam Specific OOBs
Source is the official USMC web site.
I couldn't figure out how to access the overall document.
I'd imagine you could contact the Historical Branch to get this or any of the other 5,000,000 tons of official documents they have.
