vietnam era m16 ( a good one :p)

what company makes a good/great/amazing vietnam era m16 (trying to find my friend all the compenents for a vietnam loadout:D)

http://www.trinityairsoft.com/p-623-echo-1-m16-a1-vietnam-vn-aeg-airsoft-gun.aspx
try that one

I've had bad luck with echo 1 but ill send him link

send him one on evike or ASGI

So the M16a1.....Id say Ca....

Ca m15a1 rifle
My dad held it and said it feels like the real one...Hes used the real one sinve he was in the Vietnam war...Its as realistic itll get in airsoft IMO

definately CA or Echo 1 hands down. M16A1 is a really fun rifle too.

i have heard great things about the M16A1VN from CA. i was actually looking towards one my own self, but, the money gods intervened.

also, make sure your buddy gets it with a three prong flash hider. if it's Vietnam he's going for, he can also look into the XM177 (i think CA makes that too) and the M14. if he needs gear, PM me, and i can give you a bunch of websites.

Yeah m15a1 carbine is what they call it at aex

well, there's a difference between the M4 and the XM177.


that's an XM177.



that's an M4A1.

Uh ive known that..

okay, just making sure. a lot of people don't know there's a difference.

and sniper, if your buddy is going US Army NCO/CO/Radioman, make sure he goes XM177. it was preferred by officers for it 30 round mag and size. if he's going Marine, and his loadout is 1967 or later, he should get M16A1 or M14. if he goes with the M16A1, make sure he gets short mags. the 30 round magazines for the M16A1 were VERY hard to come by In-Country. and if he wants to go really pricey, he can be a Corpsman, and he will need a M79 grenade launcher. i'm just giving you and your friend some options here, sniper32.

They also had a survival weapon...my dad cnt quite remember but they called it he ovr and under..my dad can't quite remember it tho..

What kit are you looking at making? I have a kitlist for MACV-SOG somewhere around here.

There were other rifles used in the war, also as a foot note: the xm177a1 and a2 both were issued with the 20rnd mags.

sticks

i must have gotten some wrong intel on the XM177, sorry about that.
