Another weapon on the board is a semi-automatic pistol (probably SACM M1935A).

I remember during the scene in which the Green Berets are on the mission to kidnap the NVA general, during the night when the team approachs the plantation Colonel Cai uses a silenced pistol to take out some of the guards, I believe it is a Ruger MK.2

T26 Tanker Garand Rifle
The rifle seen in the Mike Force assault is a T26 Tanker Garand Rifle. I have seen them in the inventory with the flash hider removed and two holes drilled in the bottom of the trigger housing to mount a dummy magazine. It was the armories way of having a weapon look like an M14 at that time. --phoenixent 17:37, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
Well, sure looks like a BM-59 to me, but you know what you're talking about so I'll bow to your knowledge on that one. - Nyles
Actually I have heard of something like that when it came to the movie adaptation if "A Rumor of War" by Phillip Caputo. If I remember correctly due to the controversial nature of the movie the producers were unable to acquire the M-14s they needed for the movie so some M-1 Garands (possibly the "Tanker" version were used in their place. It is noticeable in scenes where they are loading their weapons that they are not real M-14s but modified M-1s (of some sort). --Charon68 21:54, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it's a Colt 1903 Hammerless either - due to the grips extending all the way up the frame to the slide. My first thought was a MAB Model D but there are features which would seem to rule that out as well (position of safety catch, depth of frame in front of trigger guard). IKD
I think that the unknown pistol in the green berets movie is a Browning Hi-Power because of the frame and slide of the pistol reminds me of a Browning Hi-Power. BNat93
There is no hammer on this pistol. --Ben41 (talk) 02:49, 16 October 2012 (EDT)
Another weapon on the board is a semi-automatic pistol (probably SACM M1935A).
