Found this on the French speaking Vietnam forum. Check out these weird images from parades in Vietnam a few days ago:







These are obviously Chinese-made copies (from Norinco?). Man, the world has changed!

Are the guys wearing berets Marines?

[Patrick Dempsey]

Note too the wartime 'Dac Cong' lineage in the first posted camo pattern.

The guys with berets seem to be some kind of Shore Patrol unit.

Their weapons might be of Vietnamese manufacture:

Are the web belts copies of M1956s?

[cszakolczai]

that looks awfully like an M4 with silencer.

[paul_bish@mac.c]

and using 20 round mags, how quaint.

the suppressor looks like a cross between those aftermarket XM flash hiders (the ones that were longer and slipped over) and a silencer

Yeah they do, very very interesting to say the least.
