The flattop equivalent of the M733 is the M933 (which I believe Colt used to call the "M4 Commando"). The flash hider appears to be Vortex-style. Neither flattop receivers nor Vortex flash hiders were around in Vietnam.

Whatever. Game developers aren't always gun experts. Or, their education in guns comes entirely from the Internet or what they've seen in other games and movies. I should know; I used to collaborate on mods with those kinds of people.
