The Vietnamese salute makes sense but sense isn't always the obvious reason. I am amazed in Thailand that the amount of young women who immediately take up the two finger pose as soon as you aim a camera at them. Cheers. Phil thanks for an interesting add to the post.

The gesture that I know that is used this way is one called and my spelling is going to be way wrong...maanquil....and it is indeed a gestured gun and one of endearment similar to when a Thai playfully nips someone with their teeth. Mothers do the teeth nip to their children and wives and girlfriends to their other halves. They fire one imaginary shot from the gun and then pull it away, it kind of says I've plugged you you're mine.That's how I see it anyway. Rick the link works fine.
