Possibly a stupid question, but of she's Viet Cong, where did she get what appears to me as a US built rifle?

EDIT: Derp, i forgot they could capture US-supplied south vietnamese equipment. Let my question be a warning to you all about remembering to think before you hit that submit button.

I mean, when you're a guerilla, you take what you can get. Probably taken from ARVN/South Vietnamese stockpiles or casualties.

This is Lam Thi Dep, a 24 year old, twice widowed Viet Cong soldier.
