	==M3 "Grease Gun"==		==M3 "Grease Gun"==
	The [[M3 "Grease Gun"]] is an available submachine gun in-game. Its recoil (in game) drives the muzzle ''down'' instead of up. The M3 was rarely issued to US forces (except for armoured vehicle and aircraft crews). However, it was used extensively by the South Vietnamese, especially irregular troops like the Civic Guard. US Marines, and US Army special forces also used it. The M3 is rare in the game. In the single player campaign it is often used by local Vietcong fighters. In multiplayer it can be chosen by US soldiers and the Radioman. The M3 shares the same ammunition as the Thompson.		The [[M3 "Grease Gun"]] is an available submachine gun in-game.

	The [[M16 rifle series#XM16E1 Rifle\|Colt XM16E1]] is the standard issue U.S. Army assault rifle, fitted with a detachable M7 knife bayonet. Probably the best and most used weapon in game. In ''Vietcong'' the rifle uses 20 round magazines loaded with 18 rounds (~~N.B.~~ loading a magazine with two rounds less than standard capacity is a trick often used by troops to reduce magazine-related malfunctions) and it can be found in the armoury later in the game, the arrival of the "new M16 rifles" is quoted in Hawkins' diary.
