firefighter Posted December 10, 2017 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2017 The scene where John Wayne breaks an M-16 against a tree. I think this was the M-16 made by Mattel? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. BARney Posted December 11, 2017 Share #7 Posted December 11, 2017 Haha! Never picked up on that. I always wondered - why does the Duke carry his M-16 upside down in that movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garandomatic Posted December 12, 2017 Share #11 Posted December 12, 2017 Man that'd be cool... I mean, a 7.62 AR/M16 would be for all intents and purposes the same thing, but I sure like me some 30-06... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
