Orion Vietnam War Marines

40mm Grenade Launcher M79 with a shotgun as a back up weapon.  Great figure.  Shotgun is great for in close work in the jungle, in cities, and in trenchworks.

M14 rifle, used by the Americans for about 20 years from the late 1950s.

The M14 was never fully replaced by the M16 series as a few were used for automatic rifles, snipers, and other long range weapons.

The Marines used a two part 3.5 inch Super Bazooka.  The advantage over the LAW rocket is the larger projectile, the ability to reload, and it could penetrate up to 11 inches of armor.

Radioman.  Antennas were made of a sort of wire tape, like a metal tape measure so were thin and wide.

Note the heavy gear on all these troops.  M14 rifle.
