Contents 1 Rename? 2 No Shotguns? 3 Focus 4 Which are VC arms?

[edit] Rename?

This should at the very least be renamed "Infantry weapons of the Vietnam War" and be more like what has been done for WW2 JidGom 13:01, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Well maybe you could provide an example of what has been done for WW2 so we may model this article after it. I don't think, until that time, that this article should be renamed though, because it contains both Infantry and Vehicle weapons.Thmars10 21:31, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No Shotguns?

Didnt the U.S army make use of shotguns during patrolling in Vietnam? I remembered that because of the dense jungle, the Marines and Army saw great use of shotguns. Which model I dont know, but I guess Remington was used alot during the war.

[edit] Focus

If this page is to be devoted to WEAPONS, then jeeps and trucks can only be listed in so far as they actually were used to mount weapons There is a lot missing here Headings are not precise enough --59.101.54.103 05:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Which are VC arms?

I wanted to know what guns were used by the north (in particular, machine guns). Could we put in some info about that?
