Dan,
So is this you in about the '60's? I also carried a Thompson for awhile back then- does awesome damage at close range of 10-15 yds. I got some flak about carring it though & then carried an AK on a couple of missions- that didn't fly either & was told that I could only carry it if I carried my M-16 too. With an 80 lb. Ruck it wasn't really an option! The slickest individual weapon (other than an M-14) was an RPD!
So, with the Steson, were you in a Cav. unit? If I knew how to post a photo on this site, I would post a similar vintage, and attire, one of me blazing away with my M-16 ...Dennis
