Could be. The Viet Cong had every kind of weapon they could get their hands on. They had stuff from China, Russia, the US, & God knows where all else. Stories of how they got some of them are truly fascinating. We gave some of the Montagnards (our allies) Springfields & Enfields. The 'yards were our allies because the ethnic Vietnamese looked down on them as inferior & treated them like crap, so when we treated them well they became our dedicated allies.
