These were captured VC weapons. All are handmade. They were very ineffective at a distance, but are deadly at close range. Soc Trang. 1963-64

The VC were more likely to use this kind of a Katyusha Rocket Launcher:

Armed Huey Gunship.
You could notice surrounding hills behind. I have been to CanTho, this is right in the Delta zone, the land is flat handed. This picture was probably taken somewhere else in country...

More captured VC weapons. French MAT-49 9mm sub-guns captured from the French during their occupation. Soc Trang 1963-64
The VC modified the 9 mm MAT-49 to fire the 7.62 cartridge. You can notice it from the thin barrel.

Very common in the early days of the war (1964-1966) on UH-1B and C models. When introducing the Cobra by the late 1967, the type was later withdrawn.



Nice pictures woot
