No, basic M3 with the charging crank.

Loaded it with one round tracer to two rounds ball and could aim it like a garden hose.

It was better than the pistol and didn't get in the way in the jeep like an M16 would have.

With the flash hider, it was so quiet from the back, you could hear the recoil springs squeaking when it was firing.

I traded a Vietnamese unit about two yards of gravel for the weapon. When I left, I gave it to my replacement.
