More often than not, the “Shooters” didn’t carry weapons since their shooting equipment was heavy and cumbersome. If they did arm themselves, a holstered .45 caliber automatic was their weapon of choice. Yet, everyone understood if a Shooter ever needed to use his weapon it was most likely too late to save the day.
Working as lone wolves or in teams of two, the Shooters were the privileged characters in Vietnam. Mostly enlisted men, they were not hampered by typical Army red tape, SNAFU dilemmas, bureaucratic Catch-22 traps, and were able to deploy instantly whenever and wherever fighting broke out. A Shooter did not need orders, could hop on any chopper, and had authorization to bump anyone below the rank of colonel from an Air Force transport. If necessary, they resorted to civilian transportation and wore civilian clothing more often than not. Considered a Special Forces unit, of sorts, they served as the cameramen of DASPO (Department of the Army Special Photographic Office).
