Bunny s shotgun
Why was he special that he was allowed to have a shotgun ?
shareShotguns were sometimes issued although they were favoured by Special Forces, often for tasks like ambushing VC couriers in the jungle or by Navy SEALs on boats patrolling the Mekong, to repel boarding attempts. It is really only a weapon for close range fighting and he would have been better using a rifle.

i read navy seals in Vietnam preferred the shotgun going on point pointman, but I rarely saw bunny on point. also I think he was also a private so I doubt he'd be allowed to choose what weapon he wants - tho ive never been the army so I don't know *beep*
shareIt was perhaps emblematic of Bunny - an individualist wild card. I don't think the platoon was particularly well run, anyway, with that lieutenant being useless, plus the Barnes-Elias conflict, so Bunny might have been able to get away with an eccentric weapon choice.
