And that's the kind of thing it was.

More difficult every year, I'm sure.

Man, man.

CAR-15.

And of course, what I mentioned before was changing the magazines is that they had, after the Tet Offensive, the Viet Cong was essentially wiped out, 35,000 Viet Cong.

So it had to be, and their primary weapon was the SKS or the Captured American, the carbine.

So the NBA came with theirs, the RPD and the AK-47 and all the rest.

But the AK-47 had a 30-round magazine, so that was one help.

We had the M16, but we couldn't carry it overseas for a while because we had to go sterile.

No tattoos, no laundry marks, no nothing.

Completely sterile.

Because if we were captured...

Granted, the United States will disavow any knowledge of us, you know, the old adage.

So in that one firefight I was at, three of them stood up.

There was a whole bunch, but there were three right in front of me.

And we were trading bullets, and the one guy emptied his rifle on me.

The other one was just about done.

But I got the other two, and I don't know if they were finished with their magazines or not, but I got two of them.

And then the third one still had 10 magazines, and I'm reaching for the magazine.

And we'd already started trying to find a producer to make them, because we saw the need when the AK-47s came in.
