Captured Weapons 2nd Tour
Ptes. Paul McQueen
and 'Jock' Smith back at Nui Dat cleaning, identifying and tagging
captured enemy weapons from Operation Kings Cross. The weapon Jock
Smith is holding is a Chinese Type 54 7.62mm Sub-Machine Gun.
As an aside, Paul bet Jock a beer that the weapon he was
holding was either a Soviet PPS or a Chinese Type 54. Paul says, "We
had not identified this weapon previously so Jock claimed I was
bull-shitting him and the bet was made. He was not amused when he
lost the bet and went off muttering something about me being #%*$
smart arse!"
"To this day I still haven't told him that I had, not long
before this photograph was taken, accessed the Intel ID log book and
knew the name of the weapon."
