"Dry-Slide", which supposedly helped to make the M-16 rifle actually work, which it did not when introduced.
The M-16 rifle was not at fault but rather the ammunition. In squads with the 173rd Airborne we carried the M79 grenade launcher. It had a number of rounds available and one that was a flechette round, a glorified shotgun. Really a top notch weapon. Could launch a grenade, shoot flares, all sorts of uses. I can't say as I remember many shotguns. There must have been some.. When I was in LRRP we all carried 16's. Jerry Burney
