One of Pop's friend was in the 5th SFG, and as such had access to a variety of 40mm grenades, including buckshot, which he carried in a cut down M-79 that he liked to carry while walking point.
Pop's made the switch to the Ithaca after "zapping" an NVA guy three times center mass with his CAR-15 and still not dropping him. It took a blast of #4 Buck from his partner to drop him for good.
Pop's said that he had flopped down and was struggling to get his .45 out and working.
