NVA weapons in "Tour of Duty"

Some of the NVA weapons you have listed on the page never appeared on the show, or at best were mock-ups. I'm 99% positive real RPDs were never used in "Tour of Duty". The weapon I think you're referring to is actually a Finnish Valmet equiped with a drum magazine, which I believe appeared in the episode "And Make Death Proud to Take Us." I also remember seeing what appeared to be RPK's in the episode "Popular Forces". Never saw an RPD, although I could be wrong..do you know in which episode it appeared? I also never saw any real DSHK's, only a mock-up which was mounted on a tank in one episode, if I remember correctly.--Phillb36 21:06, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I also think the M-16s that were used throughout the series were M-16s and not M-16A1s. I am basing this, basically, on the fact that the weapons have the three prong flash suppressors found on the Vietnam era weapons rather than the "bird-cage" suppressors found on the A1-A2 series M-16s.
