20th Century Battlefields - Hue The U.S. Marines face one of their bloodiest fights of the war when they come up against the NVA in the streets of Hue.
M16 The M16's innovative features include light metal alloy and plastic construction, a simple gas reload system and the use of 5.56 mm ammunition. That allowed soldiers to carry twice the amount of ammunition for the same weight of 7.62 mm rounds.
FN FAL The FN FAL gave good service to the Australian army in the jungles of Vietnam, to Israeli troops during the Six-Day War and was used by both sides in the fight for the Falkland Islands.
AK-47 The AK-47 was not only easy to produce and relatively cheap, is also proved remarkably easy to maintain and virtually immune to conditions that could easily take out other guns.
Vietnam Video - M14 Rifle The rugged, accurate M14 rifle had plenty of stopping power with the standard NATO 7.62 mm round.
