Soldier Story 1/6 US MACV-SOG Review II

Continued from previous post: Some enemy equipment was used as a practical measure such as a Chi-Com vest if you used an AK - an effective weapon in the harsh environment of the 'Nam. The Type 56 assault rifle is a Chinese copy of the Kalashnikov AK-47 assault rifle, which has been manufactured since 1956. Many versions also feature a folding bayonet attached to the barrel just aft of the muzzle.

Soldier Story 1/6 12-inch US MACV-SOG comes with Type 56 chest rig , Type 56 assault rifle (die-cast metal with wooden parts) with folding bayonet and four 30-rd Type 56 magazines (three plastic and one spring loaded metal die-cast magazine)

You could load the 1/6 metal cartridges into the magazine. Also came with empty cartridges

You could carry the spare magazines in the Type 56 chest rig
