I'll have to find them photo's because they are hilarious.

Here is a Youtube video with dozens of homemade NVA and Vietcong weapons, some are single shot like you describe, others are working copies of 1911, BARs, Thomsons and lots of others:

It's a good thing that they didn't have advanced communications back then. Otherwise, the pictures would get out right away, one soldier would rat out the others, and then they would be court-martialed for being mean to the enemy.
