Will we get the various versions of the us army

[Cassius]

there were 3 distinct changes made for us ground infantery soldiers in the war. First their m14 rifles were replaced by AR15 rifles with a full auto setting, which was later removed. Will we get all 3 versions, maps with soldiers sporting the m14, ar15 full auto and the ar15 with full auto removed or only one of the versions ?

I'm doubtful, But I sure wish!

Vietnam wouldn't be complete without the M14/M16 change-up. But I"m guessing It'll probably just have M16's as the norm for the initial build, and have M14's as a reserve weapon that pops up in different kits from time-to-time.

Well all three weapons should be in-game, so I would expect it will be more a case of having them spread across different kits on the spawn menu than actual different factions spread across several maps.

PR currently sports the M14 and the early M16. Therefore, it is safe to say that there will be mix ups of weapons and kits sporting both an M14 or M16 as required.

What i want to know is was the M14 an automatic rifle because i think it was only a semi auto rifle?

The early M-16 they deployed in Vietnam was so terrible and jammed a lot didn't even come with cleaning kit soldiers would report that their own weapons were their downfall wasn't until they made revisions in 67'.

It was Semi-Automatic.

[SGT.JOKER]

The M14 was semi and fully automatic
The original M16 was semi and fully automatic
The M16A1 was also semi and fully automatic
To the best of my knowledge those where the weapons most common infantrymen had from '65 - '71

Wasn't M16 semi & burst then (?)

Both the M-16s qand M14s that were widely fielded in vietnam were semi/auto. Semi/Burst did not happen until the M16A2.
