I was wondering, when the US entered into the Vietnam War the M14 was in place as the US standard issue rifle. But since we also were supplying the South Vietnam forces with weapons, it seems likely to me that the SV forces would have been supplied with M1 Garands (I'm making an assumption). Can anyone verify this, and also, when the M16's were introduced to US troops, were the SV forces upgraded with the M14's, or were they given something else?
thanks.

anyone with personal experience in that war, what were some of the various weapons you saw some of the other forces fighting with?
thanks again.
