Thanks everyone! The bipod is the XM3 bipod, designed specifically for the M16. It’s unusual, but very cool to see.

 

@skiptotheend, some soldiers preferred the AK47 as it was more reliable. The initial introduction of the M16 had a lot of teething troubles, and took a little while to iron out. LRRP and other special forces do appear with AK47’s at various stages of the war too.  I’ve never heard of either weapon being modified to take either weapons ammunition though. That would be somewhat problematic…
