I am intending to make up some Special Forces for Vietnam to supplement my Grunts.
What were the usual weapons carried by Special Forces such as SEALs and LRRPs? Were heavier weapons such as the M60 carried?
Any pointers for suitable figureswould be appreciated. I presume any of those wearing soft headgear would be appropriate. Alan
standard kit for LRRP, but could csrry AK47's , http://www.dxpo.com/dx/05/images/vips/vip-bow02bb.jpg

also get some vietgong figures for the vietnamese chappies fighting alongside them (brain lapse :-[)
m60 law, m79 grenade launchers etc for heavy weapons oh and a radio op too :)
Used a variety of weapons, shotguns, CAR-15, XM-203 latterly as well as the ones mentioned. A few of the Australian figures will do
Australians with shotgun, M60, M16, grenade launche, etc. would all be fine.
The TOE Yahoo group would be a good source here !
