The Boys in Company C (1978)

The Boys in Company C is a 1978 Vietnam War satire that focuses on a group of young US Marines from their initiation into boot camp through their yearlong tour in Vietnam. The film co-starred Stan Shaw, Andrew Stevens, James Whitmore Jr., Michael Lembeck and featured the acting debut of R. Lee Ermey, who played a boot camp drill instructor. The film was directed by Sidney J. Furie, who went on to direct several more Vietnam War-themed films including Purple Hearts and Going Back.

The following weapons were used in the film The Boys in Company C:


M16A1 Rifle

M16A1's are the most frequently seen rifles in the film. Used by American and ARVN forces in the film, this particular model is highly anachronistic for the time period depiction(the majority of the film is set in 1968). Also anachronistic is the use of the 30 round "banana clip" magazine.
