earlymb Posted January 7, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 7, 2010 Shot with an original period videocamera by one of our members, this is a compilation of 2 or 3 events we did with our group in The Netherlands last year: (Except for the title song there is no soundtrack). Enjoy! :thumbsup: Greetz David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiGilio Posted January 7, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 7, 2010 Nice Work! I would reccomend you remove the bandoleer hanger on your M60 though, which should be an quick fix as they are easily removable. As far as I have found they came around roughly in 1970 and few if any actually made it to Vietnam. If you can, try to find a "magazine bracket" and "feed tray rollers". These were on just about all the M60s at the time and were made to attach a 100rd "magazine" (not bandoleer) to the gun. Those were rarely used but clipping a c-ration can into them was common.

Thanks for the tips; usually we let the ammobelt loose (draped over the gun), but we have used the C-ration can during our last event.

Mr-X Posted January 8, 2010 Share #6 Posted January 8, 2010 Looks awesome David. :thumbsup: The only thing I would check is the use of slanted name and US Army tapes in 1968. I dont think slanted tapes were seen that early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Flibble Posted January 8, 2010 Share #7 Posted January 8, 2010 Lots of familiar faces there. Nice video, but a bit too much shaky-cam for me personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
