12 Oct 1967, Khe Sanh, South Vietnam --- New Rifle. SP/4 Rodney W. Henning, of Chippewa Falls, Wisc., a rifleman in the 1st Cavalry Division here, holds the latest Army weapon, the XM-177E2, an improvement over the much criticized M-16. It weights about 6 pounds, 1 1/2 pounds less than the standard rifle, and can fire as rapidly as a submachine gun. --- Image by Bettmann/CORBIS |

Notice how the stock is anodized grey and not coated in shiny nylon.
I've got to build an E1 like that soon.

Specialist Henning's name does not appear on The Wall, so evidently he made it. Welcome home, Rodney. http://virtualwall.org/dh/0h.htm Quote HistoryQuoted:
