Yep...take a look at the M16's too. The FCG pins are in the wrong place. Looks like some sort of blank firing hollywood guns.

Looks like some sort of blank firing hollywood guns. http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/e/e3/Fmj25.jpg/800px-Fmj25.jpg I noticed it about the 10th time I watched the movie. I had one of those when I was a kid. Its a metal/plastic prop gun made by the Model Gun Corporation of Japan. Functionally, it operated to look like an AR/M16. But the mechanization was totally different. Here are some examples. The return spring for the charging handle/bolt was a spring slipped over a rod where the gas tube would be located (the rod didn't go all the way to the FSB, btw). The barrel was solid and the sights not adjustable. the magazine release worked per norm, but the mag was a different size (smaller than a real mag). it had a bolt catch, but i can't remember if it functioned. The forward assist was a screw that held the upper and lower together (obviously), and the front take down pin was held in place with c-clips. Anyway, it was a cool toy as a kid. And, of course, mom got rid of it when I left home for college...

A few nights ago I saw a movie documentary about Stanley Kubrick where they interviewed his family and cast of FMJ. It might have been posted on here IIRC.
That whole movie was filmed in England, that surprised me. |

"SA Vz.58 The VC sniper (Ngoc Le) that engages the Marines is armed with a Czech-made SA Vz.58. It should be also noted that the Sa vz 58 series rifles were commonly used by the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army alongside the more predominant AK-47 and SKS rifles; all used the Soviet 7.62x39mm round."

The North Vietnamese did used the Vz 58. It was their standard Special Forces rifle. However, not sure if the VC got any during Tet Offensive. There just not many Vz comparing to AK. Btw, the Vietnamese are replacing their Vz 58 with Tavor. |
