    Would the tokarev tt-33 been the most common used or there wasn’t a common, it was all just mixed up?

      They were definitely used, but it was more random/mixed up, especially with the VC forces.

    How often did guys put foliage in their helmets? I got a picture of my gramps (at I think Khe Sahn) 3rd marine division. He’s also got a lotta gear on him too.

    I guess the Czech CZ52 pistol chambered in 7,62X25 would have been supplied in numbers as well?

      Lol, poor guy. "No" seems to be the answer your looking for not even getting past him being startled by a cat saying hey. I'm surprised that anyway back to video

      @@kevinbooth2043 If you heard how shrill the cat screeches to say "hey", you'd jump too. Especially when he comes around the corner super fast and does it. Sudden noises that I"m not expecting make me jump lol.

    The makarov would have totally been used in Vietnam, now I know the whole “i saw it in a video game so it must be true” thing is bullshit but the game “rising storm 2 Vietnam” pays massive attention to realism and they added the gun as a PAVN and late war NLF weapon and I trust them to get that right

    • @MikeB128
      @MikeB128  5 років тому +1

      Yeah, no. Video games are not a valid source for this sort of stuff, no matter how "right" you think they got it, that game has a lot of mistakes.

    • @MikeB128

      But again, it very well could have been, I have just never seen any evidence at all on it.

      The CIA report lists 9-mm pistol manufactured in USSR, with first diacovery date being 1965. What the report does not say how many were there, but it shows that they were there, and pretty early on in the conflict. The report is a bit confusing, as it does not list for example the Mosin rifle, or any WWII weapons save for for '7.62 submachine gun' for some reason.

      From what I've seen, the PAVN used them in significant numbers later in the war (mostly post-'72) though the Pathet Laos in neighboring Laos used them much more and earlier.

      Yeah, almost as much as when I was actually "Playing Army" in Iraq in 2009-2010.
