Скачать или смотреть HANDICRAFT WEAPONS OF THE VIETNAM WAR. Forget About Kalashnikov

When we start talking about the war in Vietnam, the image appears before us an American soldier with an M16 or M14 rifle in his hands in an impassable jungle stands knee-deep in water and UH-1 «Ирокез» helicopters fly above his head. The enemy, represented by a North Vietnamese soldier or a Viet Cong partisan, must be wearing a straw triangular hat with a Kalashnikov assault rifle somewhere in an ambush, or even better, in a tree.

The image of an American soldier is quite realistic. But the Viet Cong soldier holding a Kalashnikov assault rifle in his hands belongs more to the later stages of the Vietnam War.
In the field of small arms, the Vietnamese were armed with such a hodgepodge that sometimes soldiers armed with Soviet, Chinese, German, French and American weapons could be found in the same trench.
