      ... It was a long time sinse I played New Vegas but was all guns in?
      I know the High power was in called the 9mm pistol.
      1911 some version was in one of the expansion packs and was there a unique 1911 or a unique High power? (Bennys custom ivory pistol)
      the french 7.65 pistol (I need close caption on numbers) not in the game im sure of it.
      the M16 (some version of it. gamedevs are/was notorious poor whit getting them correctly together whit the full AK tree) Service rifle (semi auto only... I think).
      the level action was for sure in. not sure what name it had.
      the german Rifle... Im sure it was not in in any capacity... in fact I done think there was any side loaded gun in the game at all.

      The 1911 was just called the 45 auto pistol iirc and it was added with the honest hearts DLC with a whole group of mormons who all carry 1911s and practically worship JMB. You get a special commander model from Joshua Graham at the end of the DLC call a Light Shining in Darkness. Benny's pistol Maria was a BHP with a ivory gripped with the virgin Mary engraved on it.

    "Malaysian desert fatigues and a sweater."
    Nothing can be more polar opposite than that!
    Also, I think that's probably why Malaysia (and then Singapore which broke away to its own state) adopted the M16 quite early (it's pretty much adopted as a service rifle alongside the L1A1 and then the Steyr AUG), with M16 rifles well known and in the public consciousness since the 1970s. The Borneo campaign might have been the one that puts the AR-15 to its paces even before it got to Vietnam and convinced both the Brits and the Malaysians to get it, and Singapore was granted a license from Colt to produce it (hence, the designation M16S1 for Singaporean-made A1 guns). I would need to verify all of this, but I think it's interesting to tell the history of the AR-15 and M16 in this region.

      @@johnyricco1220 As somebody from the region (Malaysia specifically), yes, it can get quite cold, but that's an exception, not a rule (in fact 70 degrees F is "cold" for significantly many of us). Otherwise, hot and humid interspersed with lots of rain, so a jacket is not beyond the realm of the imagination and enough to keep you warm.
      In fact, it's so warm in Malaysia that British residents during the Empire days seeked to settle at higher altitudes to get away from the heat. This why there are places called Fraser's Hill and Cameron Highlands, and continued to be referenced as such.
      That being said, Chiang Mai is quite further north and deeper inside the Asian mainland. It makes sense that a cold front would form.

      Rothary And units in the US Army that experimented in Iraq and Afghanistan based on perceived CQB needs. The close, multi level nature of urban warfare has encouraged a lot of sidearm issue.

    Before the recent adoption of the SIG 320, the people in the infantry platoon issued a pistol were; the Platoon Sergeant, the Platoon leader, 240 gunners, and possibly the medic. Now they have decided to issue a handgun to both the team leaders and squad leaders. It essentially quadruples the numbers of pistols issued to an individual platoon.

    • @ftdefiance1
      @ftdefiance1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      On active duty army in the mid 80's 1911 were issued to M60 gunners and some motar men. Company Commander, Platoon leaders and NCO'S carried M16 a1 rifles. FYI my rifle was essentially the same as Bloke on the Range carries. (Full Auto excluded)

    If you go along and pay attention to the story of Bonnie and Clyde lever guns continuously pop up.

A few other guns as well but hard to identify.

    My father-in-law, an Air Force medical service corps officer, carried a Browning Hi-Power pistol in a soft leather shoulder holster with canvas straps under his jungle fatigue shirt (over his OD T-shirt) as well as an M2 carbine. Neither weapon was issued to him. To the day he died he had a red scar under his arm from the rash the holster caused in that humid environment. So, there was two gun in Vietnam.
