But think of all the money my Infantry unit and others like it “saved “ on M16 ammunition during that same time period, 1967 in Southeast Asia,only able to fire one round then jamming,,Mattie Mattel’s whiz kid McNamara brought a whole new set of cost saving parameters to the boonies, Welcome Home Brothers.
