US Special Forces also issued MP40s and M3 and M3A1 Grease Guns to local "Ruff Puff" forces in Vietnam. This along with all the other WW2 era weapons present, (i.e. M1 Carbines, M1 Garands, BARs, 1911s, M1919A4s, Thompsons, etc.)
MG42s and 38s where also not uncommon.
Finnish War hero Larry Thornton even carried a 06 Springfield while operating with SOG in Vietman!!
