Factual error: This is set in 1966. The soldiers are all using the Aussie version of the M16 which was introduced in Vietnam by their military in 1967 with limited use and only became more widely used somewhat later.

Although technically correct for most of it's depiction of the Battle of Long Tan, it suffers from poor military research and practices, such as getting simple ranks hopelessly wrong. The acting is very amateurish and certainly does not reflect the standard of soldiering at that time. In short, give this over-hyped lemon a miss. Or should that be "near miss?"

Suggested correction: There's no such thing as an Aussie version of the M16, they were all made in the USA by Colt, or its contractors. I assume the poster means the M16A1, identifiable by the bolt assist lug on the right hand side and closed flash suppressor.
