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

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.
