Hi all. great subj. I was the E9 in my unit and part of my duties was to issue wepons when deployed and needed. 90% were M16a1,s and a few 1911/a1s for the commander and a few outher off,s.
My mem. is not that good but i seem to remember in some of my training that a medic could carry a 45 1911 which is a defensive weapon but could not pick up a auto. weapon . [please dont laugh] because of the Geneya convinton. example. putting auto. weapons on a Dust off med. Helo. just a few examples if you had the bad luck to be cap. by the bad guy,s could be used aginst you. i think Ed. knows more about this then most of us. and George i am a Vet. 42yr.s. just one with a bad mem. Thanks for looking at my rambling
