Nor did it have .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) sniper rifles. When Gunny made his .50 kill it was with the standard issue fifty caliber machine gun set on single fire. And one more item, Vietnam and WWII snipers HUNTED men; which required CARRYING their rifle over mountains and through swamps for days and days.

Todays super dooper sniper rifles are "precision shooting instruments" designed for precision shooting at extremely long ranges; Vietnam was about killing and the standard hunting rifle did the trick.
