Comment of the day: Back when I was outfitting Nung tribal fighters with BARs

One of the fun things about overseeing this blog is the
comments that come in. I had to read this
one a coupla times: "I had two dozen BARs for my Nung tribal irregulars
in Laos. They were hugely more useful than our other basic weapon,
the 30 cal M1-A3 carbine (which barely pretended to be an automatic weapon)."

The amount of knowledge collectively possessed by all of you
amazes me.
