Weapons Used by Vietcong

Most of the Vietcong Army was armed with Chinese versions of the Russian AK-47 submachine gun. Also, they used a range of Soviet and Chinese light and medium machine guns. They infrequently used heavy machine guns. These heavy machine guns were mostly used for the defense against American Helicopter's. They also used many rocket propelled grenades and mortars to destroy the enemies vehicles. Booby traps and mines were used as many ways of attack for the Vietcong. These weapons caused lots of destruction for the enemies and caused them to lose many lives in the war. These weapons were the main way of death of the United States troops in the war.
