NVA Weapons
The NVA weapons in this movie are of the basic types one will usually see in Vietnam movies on the /NVA/Vietnminh/Vietcong - side. In the beginning when the Vietnminh troops attack the French forces, several SKS (or possibly Chinese copies of them) rifles and at least one PPS-43 can be seen. The opening scene also features an AT-weapon of some sort, which would appear to be an M-20 3.5 inch Rocket Launcher "Super Bazooka". Later on in the movie standard AK47's (or possibly cloned Chinese Type-56 assault rifles)can be seen in addition to the SKS's.
