Alpo Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 I'm reading a novel taking place in Vietnam. And they have this statement. ... how to apply LSA, which stood for Lube oil, Semifluid, Automatic weapons Is that what it stands for? Cuz I always thought it was lubricant, small arms. Either I'm confused or Longmire is. Which is right - me or him? Or is neither of us right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Lube oil, Semifluid, Automatic weapons is the correct military nomenclature, though individual soldiers might make up a name for something they don't know what it stands for. The government comes up with some fairly complicated names for simple things, though. For instance, an Interlocking slide fastener, is the official name for a ..... zipper. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
