I had the pleasure of supplying a number to the Tunnel Rats with 'White Box' standard velocity Target ammo. I also had the pleasure of doing a minor repair on one of the Rugers that had a suppressor built into the barrel assembly. I believe that it was found that firing a .38 Special or a .45ACP in such confined spaces wasn't a good idea. Loss of hearing, vision problems because of flying junk and the possibility of cave-ins were just three of the problems.

I had a copy of the book "Tunnels of Cu Chi" but was never able to get past the first few pages. It brought back too many memories.
