I have a photo of six beautiful women standing on a beach in bikinis. Different faces, color of hair and bikinis, BUT all the bodies are exactly the same. Same belly button, same size and shape breasts, same creases in their skin on their hips, same rib cage shape and size. Seems like more and more AI shows up and hard to tell the real from AI. John

It will soon become impossible to distinguish real from AI fake, once AI stops making simple grammar, spelling, and language errors. The other day I saw a video of a beautiful woman moving and smiling, and it looked incredibly realistic. The dark side of this is that people will use AI to make videos showing people doing whatever they want. This will be a common activity in politics. Want to destroy a political candidate? Make an AI video of that candidate doing or saying terrible things. The low information voters will believe anything.

The flashguard on the early M16s were like that when first issued in Vietnam.. The later versions had the full circle ring around the end of the flash guard.. This is pre 1970 issue as these were still in the inventory when I enlisted in the early 70s

We were issued the 3-prong flash suppressor on our XM16E1's in 1st SFGA on Okinawa in very late 1964 or very early 1965, and had them on TDY to Vietnam in 1965. When I got back into Vietnam in Aug 1967, they had the M16A1 with the round suppressor. Of course there were still XM16E1's in country as the 173rd ABN, the 1st Brigade of the 101st, and the 1st CAV entered country in 1965 armed with XM16E1's. John
 
After looking at the different pics of the Ka-Bar, I would say that, that's what it is. The wrap makes it look different, part of the end is likely making the pommel, look like it's a locking mechanism.
