There is a whole lot more traps the Vietcong made, that the US soldiers had to come across so there will be a second part to this video. Focusing on the explosive booby traps they created.
Other Viet Cong Traps : (Aren't even mention in the video) 1) Cartridge Trap : (A section of pipe, bamboo barrel or hole in timber with a tack nailed through the base upon which sits the cartridge with the round slightly above ground level.) 2) Grenade Trap : - These are placed along likely paths of travel with a two stakes embedded on both sides of the creek or stream with the grenade tied to one and the safety pin partially removed from the striker lever and tied by trip wire to the other stake. - Two cans are tied to trees either side of the track with the delay train and safety pins are removed and slide into the cans holding the striker levers in position. A trip wire is tied to both grenades. when the victim's foot pulls the trip wire the grenades are pulled from the cans causing instant detonation. Source : www.5rar.asn.au/weapons/boobytraps.htm 3) Rolling Spike Trap : (This trap has two rollers with pins sticking out. This means that you will get stung several times getting your leg in, and again, when pulling it out.) 4) Sticking Trap : (Step in this trap and your leg will get pierced.) 5) Clipping Armpit Trap : (Step in this trap and the wooden boards on either side begin to turn, sticking the pins straight into your leg. Furthermore, getting your leg out is going to be a problem.) 6) Window Trap : (This trap functions as it sounds, like a window. Actually, 2 windows with sharp pins in them that closes in on your leg if you walk into one.) 7) Folding Chair Trap: (This trap works exactly the same as an animal trap. When you step in it, your calves will be pierced with sharp pins from both sides in an instance.) 8) Swinging up Trap : (When you step in this trap, nothing immediately happens, however, in an attempt to pull your leg out, you will realize that that is not possible without pins sticking into your flesh.) 9) See Saw Trap : (When you step in this trap, the wooden structure would start to turn and hits you at your upper body with the sharp pins.) Source : travelfullstop.com/the-8-worst-vietcong-boobytraps-cu-chi-tunnels-vietnam/ 10) Gate Trap : (This is the gate trap. This consisted of a grenade set beneath a gate so that when a soldier went to open the gate the grenade would explode under the soldiers feet.)

Imagine spending months in training, given thousands of dollars of equipment, and flown around the world just to get hit in the face with a coconut with screws sticking out of it.
According to what I know any US soldier hit the bear trap will have to be brought back the leg with the trap to Saigon for surgery and he will need all of his lucky to keep his leg during the surgery. And if you visited Cu Chi tunnel today you will see a tons of more deadly traps which the final one can crush entire human body if they stepped on it
True, but I've also read accounts from vietcong soldiers of their fears as they endured American bombing runs as they went up the ho chi minhn trail, as well as dealing with lack of food, the weather and also the animals themselves. One account has an entire platoon being wiped out by a tiger. Also, yes markers were laid, but i wander how many vietcong soldiers knew how to look for them and walked into those traps themselves. Finally, don't think the Green berets or navy seals were sitting on their assets, plenty of ambushes were laid of the vietcong as well.
@Ty Montz lol no i haven't but i'm struggling to imagine how a single tiger can take on an entire armed military platoon without using stealth tactics or a rocket launcher. :P
@@beatlecristian Depends how you step to it. If you step on it the way that your torso is straight up on the mine, you're a goner. But if you step in it with your foor being in front of torso, you might survive. Same with the spikes. If it pierced soldiers torso, they got their name on memorial wall. But if the spikes went through the foot, they had a change to survive.
A lot of the traps were not supposed to kill, just to injure, so it took another 2 people to carry the injured meaning 3 people couldn't fight properly.
@@Suth1172 Mine blows up entire person: 1 person dead. Mine blows up and amputates a leg: 1 or more personnel required to carry him back, more resources required to heal him, more resources required for the home country to keep alive a disabled person
Well said👍, very relevant in today's Internet age. Also people should not give up hope in their local ingenuity to combat modern threats while fully assessing their psychological impact more than their game(or war) changing abilities. I fully believe Vietnam War was a psychological war.
@@Ilovepeggleohyeah100 No, I am just stating the overlooked fact that women in the military own it not to progressive politics but to couple bamboo whip traps.
So just to review the ground can kill you, the doorways can kill you, the sticks near your feet can kill you, the branches above you can kill you, the bridges can kill you, and the trees around you can kill you.
Worst part of these boobytraps apart from causing damage physically is the part that gets into the opposing soldiers mind. When having to think about every little step or move you make might be causing you to die a slow and meaningless death it cripples any army.
If Kevin McAllister from the first two home alone movies enlisted in the military, he would probably be creating various Vietnam style traps to fight off a bunch of comically incompetent terrorists who are attempting to capture the military base that he is stationed in
1 more things , because i'm a Vietnamese . Just about 5 or 6 years ago i'm witness a man built a his new home . His crews dug up the land and found a massive bomb with the size of the 2xhuman that left in the ground for 50 years that haven't detonated yet . Luckily no one hurt , the bomb still alive , the military show up and disassembled it .
@@oklano1000 Traps area easily dispatched, as long as the ones who set it know the locations. Not many ppl die from traps, but from concealed mines, grenades, bombs etc. These were buried by the american, northern and southern vietnamese troops, so it's impossible to disarm every single one hidden out there. It's getting rarer though, less than 10 every year.
Who would win? America: Has high tech weapons and equipment , Highly trained and experienced soldiers , High tech vehicles and is mostly motorized Veitnam: Has a lot of sharp sticks
And AK-47 and SKS and RPG , and SAMS ,and RPK , And PK and mortars and Long range and AA artillery grenades and mines and MIGS all lavishly Supplied by China and the Soviet Union . The NVA were very well trained and North Vietnam was filled with Soviet Advisors.
They also had tunnels under the ground from their rebellion against the French which allowed them to disappear and reappear to get the advantage and US soldiers were forbidden to replicate these tactics to save public image.
What public image? LOL, they already invaded the place, dosed it completely with Napalm, bombed the neighbors into oblivion, used Geneva-convention-prohibited chemicals.
It wouldve been too expensive also thw US couldnt have done it without the NVA or VC knowing . Thus the US just wamted to infiltrate NVA ans VC hideouts or the tunnels that were already made. They'll be ambushed if they spent there time trying to build tunnels. The tunnels were already there by the NVA and VC so they had no issues
Now I understand why so many Vietnam vets had mental issues. Not gonna lie, I would have stayed high and I would have been scared to death! When I was in 5th grade, decades ago my 5th grade teacher was a former Marine. Said the scariest part would be at night and then you'd just hear snakes being thrown all around. Nice guy but seemed a bit off. No wonder! RIP to all who gave their lives! On both sides.
US vets got this, Vietnam vets survive the actual torture (there was a guy, caught by CIA, got his legs sawed 6 times each, in prison 'cause he refused to give up information) but here in VN life still go on
My father was in Vietnam he passed away the day after Christmas of 2022. He told me about a lot of these traps. He specifically said that they would nail the snake to doorways so that the snake was injured and irritated. Therefore immediately striking any heat that came near it. Just tossing that out there.
@@TakeThisL.. what are you talking about? Vietnam is one of the most successful societies and economies of South East Asia lmfao. They did fine without the US, France, China, Russia, or Thailand telling them what to do.
@@Chuked From what I learned, they weren't even planning to be full-blown Communist, they sought for a structure to make as their government once they thought they were free from French Colonial occupation. Hard thing is, Ho Chi Minh was initially on very friendly terms with the USA, quoting even from some of their presidents. They wanted freedom from occupation (and Vietnam has been foreignly occupied by many countries even before France). But when France "wanted so badly its colony back" after the Japanese defeat and after WWII, the US decided to side with them instead of the Vietnamese. The rest is tragic history.
Hugh Quigley they had traps but they were more disguised bunkers. They were in villages and made to look like farmhouses, until they opened fire. Could be effective as an ambush sometimes.
As an American I agree. I gotta give props to the ingenuity and tactics the Vietkong used against us. It just goes to show that superior firepower and technology doesn't always guarantee victory.
- Next time, we need to invade somewhere without all this jungle, without pits and booby traps. Somewhere plain and with clear line of sight. What are our options? - Iraq, sir. It's a desert. - Perfect!
They really were smoking weed bruh imagine how paranoid you’d be like being in a war is enough but having to pay attention to everywhere you go like damn that’s rough
oh your right i get especially paranoid if i am transported through time and space to suddenly be in a booty trapped area in Vietnam during one of my smoke sessions omg i would probably just sit there and cry
When you hear the cliché of the Vietnam soldier saying “their in the trees man” ... I’d imagine that comes from them seeing or hearing about people just walking and suddenly an arrow comes out of nowhere and kills someone... no gunfire, no enemy present... that would definitely mess with your mind
no you just fall straight to china fall through another hole end back up in vietnam, an then you go to brazil and then you fall through another hole and end up in stalin's headquarters.
Westerners have yet to discover the power of Bamboo. It's the most Amazing plant ever. It's fast growing, tough, useful, edible, you can literally do anything with it. Build, craft, make weapons, houses, musical instruments, fires, tools, the possibilities of bamboo is only limited by your imagination.
As an American, I gotta give props to the ingenuity and tactics the Vietkong used against us. It just goes to show that superior firepower and technology doesn't always guarantee victory.
i tried it but some guy called ''the government'' sent a letter saying that i would be arrested for this and something about law en breaking it. real weird.
@@cv4809 These traps were made with the purpose of slowing american patrols and search and destroy parties by wounding them and thus to waste time and money covering their treatment. If they died while in treatment thats all the better.
Kill an enemy, take one out of the fight. Wound an enemy, you take him and anyone aiding him out of the fight. The dead guy is quiet. The wounded one is screaming and demoralizes his companions.
They didn't have many choices... and the best option they had back then was to search for Vietcong main bases in the jungle (storage, training camps) and destroy them, which might also delay (or stop) the transport of weapons and people from the North.
Well the U.S Was one of the strongest military’s in the world everyone was confident they would win although apparently guerrilla warfare will win every defense
@@luigimrlgaming9484 Honestly America should've realized that beforehand considering the Revolutionary War being proof of guerilla warfare and knowing the terrain can destroy a powerful army.
My father was a military and I found a little book about Booby traps at his house when I was a kid and it really impressed me. One of which this video don't talk about is little bullets buried in the ground. You step on it, trigger it and just fire your leg from above...
@@IllIllIllIllIIIso what he meant to say is that it would blow the top of ur foot off LOL So they would put a small nail into the bullet in the ground facing upwards, when someone steps on that it would put enough pressure on the nail to fire the bullet thereby blowing the top of ur foot off as it would be the exit wound😃 Interesting stuff he just worded it differently, hope that helps🤗
@@nguyenhoangphucluan8059 no no, I'm talking about the people in America who rioted litteraly outside the White House saying we shouldn't be there but instead of pulling out we handicapped ourselves with stupid rules so we didn't piss off the Russians or the Peace Sympathizers. In the end, that made it worse because we doubled casualties that would've been saved if we went all in and not only that, Russia shared the same fate we did because the same thing was happening back in Moscow. In the end, Vietnam was a huge mistake.
@@kaedyngraham1860 Didn't use its full power? You do know it's one of the costliest wars the US has ever waged right? Its allies even participated. For a small country like Vietnam, it's overkill yet still lost.
@@MrDosonhai look if you are going to do this, please at least do some research. The allies joined to stop the spreading of Communism since Russia backed the North Vietnamese. However to avoid trouble with Russia, they limited their power in missions so we may not piss off the motherland. Now I can tell you all day but then this comment would be too long, so I'll show you 1 example, Operation: Rolling Thunder. I believe Simple History also made a video on it.
@@kaedyngraham1860 Operation Rolling Thunder, you mean those B52s we shot out of the skies? If you can, please make a trip to Vietnam, there is a B52's corpse still lying around. And you've just proven my point. Using B52s is the sign you used anything short of nuclear for this war.
Duchi unless you live in Vietnam, don’t be. If you do, be careful. I hear there are still active land mines in Vietnam and other parts of the world. For anyone who’s wondering why they haven’t been dug up and disarmed yet, do you really think you’re going to remember where every single land mine you’ve placed in any country is?
B3ndy Ah. Okay. That info’s a few years old anyway. We still have American Civil War weapons and projectiles over here though. They’re just buried in the ground or are underwater.
I always heard too that these traps were specifically designed to maim and injure instead of outright kill. Then the platoon had to deal with an injured soldier causing them even more issues.

They'll be ambushed if they spent there time trying to build tunnels. The tunnels were already there by the NVA and VC so they had no issues
That must have been so cool, if it wasn't for the fact that soldiers were recruited to go down there and hunt down the people in the tunnels
Now I understand why so many Vietnam vets had mental issues. Not gonna lie, I would have stayed high and I would have been scared to death! When I was in 5th grade, decades ago my 5th grade teacher was a former Marine. Said the scariest part would be at night and then you'd just hear snakes being thrown all around. Nice guy but seemed a bit off. No wonder! RIP to all who gave their lives! On both sides.
the vietnam guys threw snakes at the USA camp? OH GOD ...
imagine you have to piss and someone throws a venomous snake to you ... jeez ..
@@tehalexy No wonder they got completely mentally screwed

My father was in Vietnam he passed away the day after Christmas of 2022. He told me about a lot of these traps. He specifically said that they would nail the snake to doorways so that the snake was injured and irritated. Therefore immediately striking any heat that came near it. Just tossing that out there.

A lot of lives at the stake
there was a typo in the traslation... they got there is a lot a stick
Well they didnt want vietnam to be influenced by the communists so there was a lot at stake... Vietnam is very influential in the asian eastern world
@@Chuked From what I learned, they weren't even planning to be full-blown Communist, they sought for a structure to make as their government once they thought they were free from French Colonial occupation.
Hard thing is, Ho Chi Minh was initially on very friendly terms with the USA, quoting even from some of their presidents. They wanted freedom from occupation (and Vietnam has been foreignly occupied by many countries even before France).
But when France "wanted so badly its colony back" after the Japanese defeat and after WWII, the US decided to side with them instead of the Vietnamese.
The rest is tragic history.

@@cv4809 These traps were made with the purpose of slowing american patrols and search and destroy parties by wounding them and thus to waste time and money covering their treatment. If they died while in treatment thats all the better.
A ways to kill enemy slowly in pain and suffering
Kill an enemy, take one out of the fight. Wound an enemy, you take him and anyone aiding him out of the fight.
The dead guy is quiet. The wounded one is screaming and demoralizes his companions.
I'll never have any idea why anyone thought it was going to be a good idea to fight someone in a jungle when that jungle is their home terrain.
They didn't have many choices... and the best option they had back then was to search for Vietcong main bases in the jungle (storage, training camps) and destroy them, which might also delay (or stop) the transport of weapons and people from the North.
It’s not a good idea
Well the U.S Was one of the strongest military’s in the world everyone was confident they would win although apparently guerrilla warfare will win every defense

Doesn't make any sense
How does triggering a tiny bullet that's in the ground cause you to get shot from above?
@@IllIllIllIllIIIso what he meant to say is that it would blow the top of ur foot off LOL So they would put a small nail into the bullet in the ground facing upwards, when someone steps on that it would put enough pressure on the nail to fire the bullet thereby blowing the top of ur foot off as it would be the exit wound😃 Interesting stuff he just worded it differently, hope that helps🤗
