Speaking of Vietnam customizations, Pop's carried an Ithaca 37, with the barrel cut down all the way to the magazine tube cap and a pistol grip. He wore it in a custom leather rig with pistol belt hooks and a leather thong to strap it own his thigh.
Mind you, I've only seen pictures, but Pop's always looked pretty badass wearing that thing on his right hip, Ka-Bar on the other, a tiger stripe flight suit, with the arms tied around his waist and a M-1911A1 in a shoulder holster with his Air Commando brimmed hat.

Another weapon my Chung-Si was fond of was the M79 Grenade Launcher. Apparantly, his unit was issued 40mm buckshot and experimental flachette rounds. If you saw The Expendables, you have an (albiet exaggerated) idea of what the buckshot rounds could do, where as the flachette rounds are geneva convention banned dart-shaped rounds that could punch through trees. Probably the most insane story he told me was when he shot an enemy soldier at close range with a HE round. It failed to detonate due to the proximity, but lodged into the guy and messed him up pretty bad. So they took him with them in the chopper and tossed him out to see if they could make it detonate. I don't believe it did.
