Have you tried Michael Lee Lannning's Snipers in Vietnam ?

I've been interested in it for quite a long time...I wanted to talk about it...About ammo, type of guns, shooters...and so on.
Yeah and thanks for the photo.. Smile

By the way, which group does the sniper in the picture belong to???

I don't know which group he belongs to, I scratched this photo somewhere on the internet sometime ago, I don't know where.Unfortunately I'm not really interested in more chat about ammunition and similar things, I'm interested in NAM mostly from modeling point of view.

You can't really tell which group he belongs to, but he doesn't look like a member of the USMC. I mean, to me...

Well, it's definitely not a marine, it would look a bit different, and it wouldn't be towing the XM-21 - that's what the ground troops used. It looks like it's from 1969 and I'd guess 1st ID or 25th ID.

It's not clear to me why a Marine wouldn't carry an XM21 rifle. USMC snipers often used the M14 in addition to the M40 rifle with the Redfield AccuRange 3x-9x scope... Often carried by spotters or trackers.

Spotters were pulling M14, but without optics, and moreover the little guy in the photo has nothing to do with USMC. As far as I know the Marines did not introduce the XM21 in the 'Nam.

I feel like we agreed a long time ago that this soldier is not USMC...so no need to repeat it.

Please advise, what were the hot sniper rifles?M 14, M1 Garand with optics and I don't know anything else...

I saw a book somewhere by Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Hathcock which is a Marine sniper legend and he was in Nam I don't know what the book is called or if it was published in the Czech market but it might be an interesting read.

Hey, I don't know the book, but I know Carlos Hatchcock. I know he shot a couple of mules that were transporting supplies 2,500 yards. And he and his partner took out about 80 North Vietnamese in one night... Each time, he had the gunners light the perimeter with flares, and they had a field day. I don't remember the name of his scope, but he got a lot of M14s. If I remember correctly, he was using a Winchester 30-06 caliber rifle.

Jestli si to pamatuji zprávně tak používal pušku Winchester ráže 30-06

Well, but in this photo I don't think they are real snipers:






...because what I see are classic M16's with added (the bottom one is gigantic) optical sights (just so it's not just a scope...), which may look pretty cool, but the NATO 5.56x45 bullet deflects out of the way even in stronger wind gusts. Which is to say that using an M16 as a sniper rifle is a pointless bullshit and a boyish idea...

Well, the optics look like the old Starlight (I don't know much about it), which was a residual light amplifier with optics.
URL : https://www.valka.cz/Odstrelovaci-USMC-ve-Vietnamu-t29042#206754 Version : 0
to Trodas: It's a residual light amplifier (maybe with backlight - it was both with and without).


BTW if the weather conditions are good (or at night), this ammo is perfectly fine for shooting 250-300 m. The slight breeze that deflects the bullet off the track is a bit of a myth, of course if the wind is blowing it's different but even heavier ammo feels that way. Already during the Vietnam war they started experimenting with this ammunition (In order to achieve better stability. This resulted in the introduction of SS109 ammunition with a heavier bullet in the 80s). It is still used today in shooting competitions and shooters are quite satisfied with it, otherwise they probably wouldn't use it (.223 Rem), semi-automatic shooters the same...

The hitchhikers in Vietnam were mostly Montagnards, do you know more about them?

Hello. I might recommend the best book so far from my point of view by Daniel Kamas called The Vietnam War. It is written in Czech and describes the events in NAM chronologically day by day. At the end of the book are almost all the answers given here. What specifically interests you about the Montagnards ? History, who or what they were and are or purely from a war history perspective, i.e. weapons, equipment, etc... ?

Guys, I found a picture of (probably) a USMC Sniper
URL : https://www.valka.cz/Odstrelovaci-USMC-ve-Vietnamu-t29042#226986 Version : 0
Very interesting photo, however, the radio operator is about 90% US Army. The "lightweight rucksack" on an aluminum frame was worn by Marines minimally (practically only when they managed to scrounge them from their Army colleagues), mostly they had small Model 41 backpacks or ARVN chokers (practically the whole Stone's Platoon is equipped with them). Plus the soldier doesn't have a sniper rifle, but a civilian hunting rifle with a scope. People can certainly shoot it as well as a Winchester 70, but the original purpose is hunting game... Anyway, very interesting photo of an unusual weapon used by infantry.

Terry McCauley photo of a grunt carrying a scope equipped sniper rifle across a stream. The weapon appears to be a Winchester Model 70 or a Remington Model 700. Both used as sniper weapons in Vietnam, mainly by the USMC.
