The Mk 22 pistol, which was a modified Smith & Wesson M39 pistol with a silencer and known as the "Hush Puppy" as well as the Mk 23 Mod 0 (Stoner 63A1) LMG were both a nice touch. I like your comic book art style and that you do research into your subject matter, including the use of the old Mk 2 "Pineapple grenade." The US Navy issued those grenades as late as the Tet Offensive, so it would not be unusual for a SEAL to carry one along side the later M26 grenade.

Thanks. For jobs like this it's important to do plenty of good research. On one of the other illustrations, I drew a Green Beret carrying an M-14, the 'Vietnam War expert' who had helped write the book said I had made a mistake & drawn a 'World War 2 gun', & should instead draw an M-16. Amazingly I had to explain to the expert what an M-14 was & that it wouldn't be unusual for at least one member of a patrol to be utilising one, especially in the earlier years of the war.
This is the image.
