There really needs to be a (new) game exclusively based around Vietnam, the potential for weaponary is incredibly expansive from modern automatic carbines to Czech kar98ks.
Rising storm 2:vietnam?
^
Cod: black ops 1 and 2?
RS2: Vietnam
always loved vietcong (2003)
2 things to note on the Lazy Dog
1. It saw limited use in the Korean War even before its introduction in Vietnam,
2. It wasn't phased out because it caused gruesome, indiscriminate injuries (which it definitely did) what actually happened was around that time the US Military realized that large troop formation warfare was becoming more and more a thing of the past, and the guerilla warfare of Vietnam convinced them the weapon was no longer worth the effort to produce.
He said cause it was indiscriminate. It killed any1 in it's path whether soldier or civilian. But I'm sure it was also what u mentioned too.
Yeah, US never cared about what type of death or injury its enemy or enemy civilians suffer.
No more indiscriminate the drones lol
I was kind of wondering about that
@Dr. Bright unless they haven't input any of the targets features, facial recognition or other ways of identifying non combatants n civilians on the robots software n so it just kills every1 n everything on sight. Lol
Agent Orange and the other Rainbow Agents was probably the most devastating of the weapons. 600,000+ dead and 4 million suffering from mild to very severe adverse affects from exposure. The birth defects caused to the unborn children of parents who were exposed is horrendous.
The US troops also suffered from exposure. One source states that 400,000 US personnel have either died from diseases or developed disabilities that are linked to their exposure.
We have no clue of the number of people effected. The VA identifies a blanket list of symptoms then veterans self-report claims. Same with burn pit claims. Same with Desert Storm Syndrome. Everyone is trying to make a claim decades after the fact, so accurate numbers are impossible. But no doubt, defoliants injured thousands.
The US Army is all about its objectives.
US personnel are a secondary consideration, if that.
Their deaths during hostilities are built into their calculations.
Visit any homeless encampment to gauge their concern afterwards.
Yes I just commented on a guy my step dad worked with. He served in Vietnam and had to walk through the areas they cleared with agent orange. They were mechanics at the same company and his tool box had about 15 different prescriptions in it he had to take because his health was so destroyed from exposure to agent orange.
A poison knows no sides...
There is no way you can possibly know those numbers.
I like how the animators are historically accurate with the Viet song as they did not just have ak47 but also mosin nagant rifles, ppsh41 smh and sks rifle.
So basically were just Russians but less advanced
not to mention rpk and svd (later in the war) and the TT33 along with a smattering of reverse engineered copies of American weapons. Norinco obtained plans for these captured and reverse engineered weapons after the war and started making chinese export AR based on them for export sale.
@@brettalexander220 yea your right. Your an evan bigger history buff then me.
@@SomeOneUKnow-hh1pl engineering yes, history no. I couldnt tell you what year the battle of Leipzig occured but I can tell you the fire rate of a cbj smg or how much PSI a giarandoni air rifle had.
But at 7:35 have no idea how to draw a B52 from the side
Actually one the first times the Daisy Cutter was used, was in Laos in 1968 to help the MAC-V-SOG Recon teams insert into the jungle because too many of their LZ's were being booby trapped. The first time ST Idaho used them, they actually hit a massive ammo dump destroying a huge cache of NVA ammo in the middle of the jungle by pure luck.
12 secondary explosions
Accidentally Lucky Strike there
This is an honor to meet a t800
That must have made the VC paranoid as it must have looked targeted.
@@doubleT84 hmm that could be a good possibility
Damn, the concept behind the Lazy Dog seems so simple yet it was so much more effective and devastating than regular bombs.
There used to be a joke that the US would've saved millions of dollars in Afghanistan, if they'd just thrown handfuls of pennies out of planes instead of single $10mil bombs
"Indiscriminate" sounds like a politically correct way of saying it was resulting in war crimes
And that not make a sound !. That's why this bomb get banned because too overpower
@@BleedForTheWorld Also probably add unnecessary suffering.
@@avbiasmot5239 Vietcong: Report Americans for hacking! Lazy Dog is broken!
A cool fact about the “Daisy Cutter” is that in the beginning of the War in the Middle East, the US dropped a few as a scare tactic to try to avoid unnecessary deaths from ground troops moving in. A group of Royal Marines saw this and radioed their superiors “The yanks are dropping bloody nukes!” It was the first time a British soldier had seen a Daisy Cutter in action
I believe the fear in Vietnam war was about the bamboo traps and the other hand-made traps that we made.
We didn't have enough resources to research and make the modern ones, but I think the hand-made one did a good job.
Punji pits? Yes, very scary.
@@jamesalexander3530 yeah, the simple is the best
The most terrifying weapon is not one that is used…but unleashed.
Commie?
@@whatdadogdoin9818 I'm not a fan of Commie or anything else.
I just care if the goverment can support us to improve ourself, VN is working well
Out of every weird weapons, 7:29 this one takes the cake, a unique prototype of the B-52
Ah yes, the cursed B-52
mampir bang
ah yes, bullpuped b52

I've researched a lot about WW1, WW2, the Falklands war, and Multiple Welsh wars. I'm definitely going to be researching about the Vietnam and Korean wars and Chinese civil wars. I love learning history, thanks for making such amazing videos everytime 😁
@frog he is gonna be so triggered
As an history student, i advise you to go to History University, in the modern times, it gives you a lot of job opportunities.
@Frog Wales hasn't been part of England for hundreds of years, so no, Wales is not West England :)
@Frog why do you think Wales is West England?
🍿
LOL, the wings of the B-52 are all the way at the tail. 😂
You can see them at time stamp 7:40
The daisy cutter was fitted with an impact-inertia fuze in the tail as a back up. The stand-off device on the nose was filled with explosives, and helped to reduce the crater depth so helos could land.
From the thumbnail, I thought that was an underbarrel flamethrower. It's even more unique than I thought.
Same dude , but then i wondered why a Tube leads to his Helmet then I thought it was a Camelbag Hybrid 🤣
Same XD
Anyone else suddenly reminded of the flamethrower attachment in COD?...also if i remember right wasn't that weapon attachment first introduced in Black ops 1?...which i find it funny since a good portion of the single player campaign has you running around Vietnam as you are part of the MACV-SOG there😂
Same, it could have been smart
Call of Duty probably saw pictures of that on the internet and thought thats what it was too.
"Guys, those glorified lawn darts we're dropping by the thousands are indiscriminate killers that could lead to way too many civilian or U.S. casualties. Let's spray a dioxin containing defoliant over jungles and ricefields, killing children, causing starvation, and giving our own guys cancer instead" - probably somebody
the govts ideas really make u wonder doesnt
bri ish people be like:
DuPont and whatever other megacorps no doubt were giving large amounts of money to keep the flow of chemicals into Vietnam high
those 'glorified lawn darts' killed kids too just the same as agent orange did, VC hiding behind human shields just like ISIS and Taliban do today.
maybe the darts weren't THAT effective to the point you could close eyes on its ethics, compared to defoliant

They used some of their remaining BLU-82 "Daisy Cutter" in the first Gulf War. Not for clearing foliage of course, but just to decimate Iraqi units. It's said the first time they dropped one, some SAS that witnessed the blast thought the US had dropped a nuclear bomb. They had quite a massive blast...
They used one in Afghanistan at the beginning of the war too.
I always thought the Daisy Cutter was a anti-structural bomb, so the reason for the kickname was lost on me. So fascinating to learn!
It was used for both, but it's original intention was to basically give our UH-1s a LZ in the jungle.
It generates 1000psi so structures and trees would both be flattened or the over pressure would basically rupture anyone who was in the kill zones internal organs if not blowing them to pieces.
Modernly, it's called a MOAB.
odd
when I first heard of it, I initially thought of it as a bomb that cut all foliage low to the ground, like where daisies would grow
@@ironheadedDoF the BLU-82 is similar to a GBU-43/3 (MOAB) but the MOAB is just a BLU-82 cranked up to 11.
ammoniu nitrate is the same substance involved in beirut explosion
My Uncle in one of his letters home from the Vietnam War wrote of how heart breaking it was to see entire sections of jungle being killed off by agent orange even calling it a war crime. He was killed a month before his 19th birthday.
Sad
:(
@@spjr99 we never should've been there. Wasnt our war to fight until Johnson decided to get into international affairs by starting it. NOBODY SHOULD'VE DIED IN THAT WAR! instead lets send over a bunch of kids to fight people that just want their independence like we did 200 years earlier. GOOD JOB AMERICA, home of the worlds most hypocritical government.
Eh
Agent orange was a mistake,
It even created medical problems to future Vietnam generation.
As a Vietnamese, these weapons are terrifying and painful to see them did to our land. But it's surprising how effective they are.

This simple bottle saved lives, truly
I learnt in school that, Americans placed a lot of sensors around the Ho Chi Minh trail, but the Vietcong would use this to their own advantage. By relocating them into an area where they need to clear a path or trail, they then smack shovels, pots, basically make a lot of noise, then run far away from there. Then, the American airstrikes come, and clear a path for them, charge free. Man, we need a second episode, this time about Vietnamese ingenuity.
I can actually second this as vietnamese, i learned about this from my NCO who write alot of records about the war. Usually it any metal item the troops have laying around like Pot, Pan, Ammo box or even canteen.
I think they've done yhe traps they made
@@spookyengie735 I read the biography of a former VC, the story he told was hilarious. Especially since as he put it, the traps were mainly meant for the animals and not for the Americans.
He also noted that the Vietnamese Centipede had a bite so painful that one of his men blew his brains out to stop the pain. The venom from the bug wasn't lethal and the pain would stop after a few hours.
@@Predator42ID centipede in summer is nightmare fuel especially in rural area.
The American wasted their stuff for a decoy
7:25 that plane has a wing problem lol
I was a Vietnam era child that was born in 1971. All my relatives and neighbors were Vietnam vet so I was kind of like a military brat I was fascinated with the stories about the war etcetera. My Uncle Dave according to him was responsible for more deaths than anybody I've met who went to Vietnam. He was an aerial Observer who dictated where and when and what type of bombs to be used on the enemy. According to him he was responsible into the thousands but never personally killed anybody. He didn't even go into the plane when they were dropping the bombs. He said he could call an airstrike from field artillery Naval artillery or from the air his choice. He told me some great stories🎉 my favorite one is when he had the biggest bomb he could have dropped carpet bombing on this area. He explained that there was a battalion or whatever there and when they went back there was nothing except holes. He said upon further inspection. Zooming in on the photos he could see that they were digging in on the bottom of the impact crater of the bomb. He said so I ordered the same identical bombing run with the same bombs. He said our bombing was so accurate that they landed in the exact same spot and you could put the negatives over each other and they were identical. Wow🎉
I truly missed the lantern festival in HoiAn, the thrill of walking on the Golden Bridge in BaNa Hills ... the beautiful chaos of Ho Chi Minh City, the amazing authentic Vietnamese food and the magnificent scenery of Ha Long Bay! It is so green over there, unforgettable! I do miss ... almost everything. Indeed.
The Flamethrower attachment should have been in Call of Duty Cold War. It will be a cool homage for the Flamethrower attachment from Back Ops 1.
flamethrower suppressor :troll:
lol. Maybe it’ll come in an update with a lil coaxing.
Wait… there is no flamethrower attachment in the video…

My Great Grandfather was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. We know he was exposed heavily to agent orange. He's had cancer multiple times, and now his memories are going. Agent Orange is a rare kind of weapon that probably did as much damage to the users as the enemy.
3:40 Al Gore uses those tree crushers to clear the land of his many homes...

It's kind of ironic how the nva basically used the revolutionary war tactics we used to best the British against us.

Cool story my grandpa told me he was an APC driver in the army he was a sergeant and he told me for a short while he rode along side those tree crushers with his APC he has a sick picture of it Too he also told me that if there was a small patch of jungle in the way the 50 cal chopped the trees down real nice

Entertaining and Educational
Video starts at 1:20
We do not care.
Here's one from the Vietnamese: The RPG-2 rockets back then had a contact fuse positioned only at the tip, and even if the rocket is stopped midway with the fuse intact, it won't explode. The solution to defend against those rockets? Chain link fences with holes just smaller than the widest part of the rocket. The rocket would just go through a hole and get halted by the fencing, falling on the ground safely. Those chain link fences are still called B40 fences (B40 is the Vietnamese designation for the RPG-2)
Probably why RPG 7 added time fuse.
@@tomk3732 The RPG 7 time fuse is just a safety feature, it makes sure the rocket won't explode within a few meters after firing. Detonation still requires the contact fuse
There were a lot of crazy guns used by the Australian SAS in Vietnam.
I'm amazed they had a detector for people all the way back in 1968
If you think that is amazing, Alexander Graham Bell invented the metal detector.

Nice song by the way
8:14
All of us: * anxiety *
Wouldn't the Viet Kong or North Vietnamese army just shoot RPG's at this 3:20.
The people sniffer was something I learned about from my instructors in High School. The logic behind the devices were sound, right up until you realized that some of the odors or other materials the systems were looking for were produced by more than just humans within the jungle.
9:06 never thought it would rain bullets before
8:33 When all NPC's got the same death sound.
And animations
Dad was a ranger sniper with a couple of tours under his belt in Vietnam....he tells a story about providing protection for a weapons testing detail...it was a beam/laser rifle that had 3 people connected by cables with 100 pound plus battery packs.
I love how lazy dog was described being unfavorable because it was “indiscriminate” but defensive weaponry, but surely it wasn’t any worse than a whole BOMB bruh
Lazy Dog: Figures, the one experimental weapon that actually worked as intended and its use gets banned.
Makes it no different than unguided bombs which makes little sense given that they were still used.
@@AMoistEggroll they were silent when impacting and had the exact lethal effect as unguided bombs, they were better
Maybe it's too perfect and nerfed out
its like cluster bombs except it doesn't leave hundreds of unexploded ordinances for somebody to detonate.
It's trulya shame. The US and our South Vietnamese allies could have won the war in a matter of weeks if our government allowed our forces to do so.
6:33 Create a clear LZ in deep jungle with bomb also help VC know exactly where the American wanna land, nice tactic.
The wings on the B-52 at 7:38 are funky
11:36 snipers a good job mate!
Would love to see a video talking about the shotguns used in Vietnam! So many experimental types with full auto magazine fed shotguns to one's leftover from WW1. So so interesting
Shotguns are a pretty simple idea. The trench guns still plenty effective even today. Theyre still fundamentaly the same.
Yeah the Gallo, hauer and streetsweeper to name a few
I have a belief that now adays there isnt much that can be done to improve a shotgun. Its fairly simple and practical.
Basically all of the weapons:
“Private”
“Yes, Sergeant?”
“You see that jungle there?”
“Yes, Sergeant.”
“Well I dont want to.”
“ok”
There were also wierd covert programs in vietnam...some used indigenous psychological warfare like "Operation Wandering Soul" and some just had to be seen to be believed: like "Operation Barroom."
12:51 The way they fly away one by one got me rolling!
Could you make a video on Nguyen Van Coc, the greatest Vietnamese ACE in the Vietnam war, the man who shot down 9 American warplane with his MiG-21?
or Nguyen Van Bay, the great ACE hero who used an obsolete MiG-17 but still shot down 7 much more mordern American aircraft.
Nguyen Van Coc is also the GOAT of MiG-21 with most kill ever recorded

It's also pretty neat that they display the VietCong with a bunch of different weapons
That's probably not weird enough to qualify.
Well using a flamethrower in a normal war was weird but in a guerilla warfare not so, since the best way to beat guerilla fighters is too burn down their cover
@@quillmaurer6563 yeah most likely it's still a really good idea
@@hahabrrrrr4465 yeah that's my thought was you could put one under the rifle then you would have infantry men with a flamethrower and a rifle at the same time
yes but a problem with that (i think) would be whenever the soldier shot, the fireball on the end of his rifle would ignite it unintentionally. just a thought, although it’s not entirely feasible
Excellent video! :)
