We are used to seeing the Vietnam War in the confrontation between the M16 and the AK, we are used to looking at the M60 and the RPD, occasionally photos of Mosin rifles are brought up from the depths of the Internet, and that's usually it. Nobody talks about the MG-34, MAT-49, or K-50M, and the northerners had them on almost every corner! And in this video I want to show you that Vietnam is not a story about Kalashnikovs. Support with your money: Patreon: / vietnamofil Sber: 4276 5500 6869 1230 VK: https://vk.com/public174562260 PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/vietn...

German weapons of WWII in Nam: https://wwiiafterwwii.wordpress.com/2... Unfortunately, all the books I have read (and those listed below) about the Viet Cong and the ASV are false. talk about weapons only in general terms, shifting the emphasis to analyzing the organization. And therefore they are extremely similar to each other. The first book is described in the most detail, the second one presents the necessary material best of all, unimportant details are cut out.
