Just curious about this statement "Don't rate the chances of the two grunts who were carrying either rifle." Yeh I can see the M16's mag-well had a bullet through it, but the M14 looks OK...

Shrapnel in the woodwork. More obvious 'in the flesh'.

Mistreated by a very close call with an RPG I should think!

Vietnamese attempt at modern art.

Looks like they downed a secret prototype there.... powered by five jet engines and a piston engine, must have made quite a racket!

Anorak time......name that wreckage, back half of a sky raider, Voodoo wing and panels, F105 Thud parts, Phantom parts, B52 parts, J57 jet engines, a Wright piston engine (skyraider)....

I'm going with the A-6 Grumman Intruder for the upright fuselage section.

I've known armourers who'd describe those rifles as slightly soiled and try to issue them.

You can't polish a turd but you can re-parkerise it. Some of the SLRs at the end were shocking.
