Rifle ID - Vietnam War

Post by rock-steady »

What rifle does the soldier have at the 5:18 mark?

Similar to but not exactly like an M16. Not a Stoner M63 either.

Is this even a real photograph or some kind of AI generated image??

5:18-5:24. That’s an M16 he just has it tilted somewhat.

I really think the gun is a CGI image created in a computer.
It looks pretty close to an M16 but is different in every detail when you look close.

It looks like theres quite a few AI images as filler in that video.

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?
