Guns of Nam

Summer of 66.  Guns Magazine,

The war is just starting and the magazine has taken notice before this but it is getting more prominent exposure now.  It made the cover.  The guns of Viet Nam.

The AR-15 was considered controversial, already.  But it was used at the Ia Drang valley 8 months prior to this publication. three four weapons the US forces use are the M60 machine gun, M14, M1/2 Carbine, and that AR-15 thing.
