ASP PRESENTS:
The Vietnam War started with the US still having military shotguns left over from WWII, and needing ones for our South Vietnamese allies who tended to be of smaller stature. Rather than develop a stringent MILSPEC shotgun, the Army went shopping for off the shelf items. This led to an assortment of combat shotguns being utilized. As a collector, you can build a small but a significant collection of the different shotgun types used. Originals used in Vietnam are difficult to acquire because most were left behind (unless Vietnam decides to put them on the international surplus weapon market some day).
