Claustorphbia when expecting an ambush or a boobtrap hits different.
Boobtraps are great
I know what you meant, but I can’t stop laughing at boobtrap 😂
Why did I laugh at this
Death by boobtrap doesnt seem so bad
Does anyone know where I can find one of these "boobtraps," asking for a friend
Everyone talking about what their grandparents did in Vietnam
Me: Is that a suppressor on a revolver
Interesting seeing a nagant revolver. The 1895 Nagant is one of the rare revolvers that can use a suppressor
Yeah I noticed that
Use the OTs-38 Stechkin than you dont need a suppressor
I was looking at that thinking holy s, is that a suppressed 1895 nagant?
That’s what I’m sayen
Tunnel rats had to eat the same food as the Viet Cong. Because of the smell of their sweat. Eating American food meant their sweat smelled different and they could be noticed easily.
Fr? Does smell travel very easily underground or something? Would it be that noticeable? Interesting if so but I somewhat doubt it out smelling abilities are pretty bad
@@WorldKeepsSpinnin the smell would travel easily in a packed tunnel with little ventilation
Yes this is true. My uncle Herman who had been in Vietnam. Had gotten agent orange in his system. Also he said that the sweat of the Viet Cong smelled of garlic and other stuff. Rather interesting. They also had single bullet traps that soldiers would step on. Only other worst job I can think of is being a boat rower. Most were captured slaves and their incentives were basically paddle as fast as you can or you drown to death as most were chained down to the seat.
My dad told me the same thing. He was also short enough that he'd wear the VC black pajamas on some missions
@@Cervezadog no he didnt. That’s a perfect to get killed by some not so “friendly fire”
My friends father was a tunnel rat. He survived by exploding every single one of the tunnels that were occupied. He would lower into the tunnel wait for a long time, if he heard any sound even a mouse he assumed it was occupied.
Probably the most intelligent way of going about it
If there are mice, there is food, and with food there are usually people.
Smart man.
@@_DMNO_ tru dat
When in doubt???Boom boom!!!had to be done like that,,
That’s what I was thinking would be best
*Fun fact:* There's actually a movie about the Tunnel Rats called "1968 Tunnel Rats", which was directed by the infamous Uwe Boll. Surprisingly, that movie is really decent for an Uwe Boll movie, probably because it didn't have a script, as the actors improvised their lines while filming
Hi!
"That movie is really decent"
You lie as easily as I breathe.
@@GoogleRuinsAnythingItTouches First of all, I cannot be lying because it's just my subjective opinion about a movie. The fact you don't like it doesn't mean I have to dislike it too. Second, I am not saying that movie is a masterpiece, as I would only give it a 5 or 6 out of 10

First of all, congratulations on taking a joke this seriously.
Second, if you genuinely liked that movie, may I suggest an even more intense and intellectually stimulating show that might interest someone of your level. Look up Teletubbies.
@@GoogleRuinsAnythingItTouches I didn't know you were joking. I didn't find any kind of sarcasm in your comment. Anyway, thanks for your reccomendation. I think you should watch Dora the Explorer. Sure you will find it more intellectual and intense than I with the Teletubbies
I knew a vet that did that he was a Marine engineer, did mine sweeping and cleared tunnels. He said they had full sized 6 story hospitals built underground like that with all the equipment and supplies you'd see in an above ground hospital.
That’s quite some engineering involved

6 stories huh?... 😒
@@1badjesus401 Yes, he described the operating rooms with all modern equipment you'd find in a regular hospital, larger rooms where patients would recover.
My dad was drafted very early in the war and spent all of 1966 in Vietnam. He was a helicopter mechanic and the base he worked out of was right next to a small mountain. Occasionally the base would be attacked by mortar fire, and by the time they figured out where it was coming from, the perpetrators seemed to just completely disappear. Years later it turned out that the entire small mountain next to the base was completely tunneled out, and a major North Vietnamese base in the area, over looking the Americans position and was there before the American base even popped up. We moved right into their backyard and they were smart enough to do nothing about it. Instead, they stood and watched and knew everything the Americans were going to do before they did it.
Wow 👌 👏
“They were smart enough”….. that mentality is an American fault ….
Should have said “We were so dumb..”

So many vids on WWII, few on I, and now we're staring with Vietnam.
Very observant
Yes, I have always wondered why so few films chronicle WW1 compared to 2.
We were disrespected when we came home and now I guess still are.
We answered our country's call not our fault the politicians took over and did not allow us do our job and win it
Preparing for the next chapter in the mass-fatal World War series!
I think we may have a another war.
My uncle was a tunnel rat and died in Vietnam to a grenade trap. Obviously I never met him but I read his letters and he always had a lot of respect for the vietcong and seemed like a really kind person. An unfortunate war and part of history to be sure.
Your uncle was a great man. Respected the people who ended up killing him. Very unfortunate indeed for both sides. RIP.
Rest In Peace to your uncle.😔🙏🤧
Respect from Vietnam bro. My grandpa’s brother also died in the Vietnam war. I feel proud because we won the war but I have respect for all the U.S soldiers. Being a tunnel rat means that your uncle have his balls made of steel. I’ve visited some of it and it looks horrible
My grandfather was a door gunner, im surprised he lived long enough to make my family. So I can't imagine the mortality rateof the tunnel rats
my Grandfather was a tunnel rat. he has 4 purple heart's. shot and blown up by grenades. he kept going back too. they were sent into those tunnels with no gun
My grandfather was also a door gunner
@@BASEDKAISER good thing you're here then! Good thing he is too
what door gunners supposed to do? I don't know much about military especially in old wars
@@kazakhstanisthecapitalofth3482 basically they would man the door guns on hueys and other transport type helicopters
I got out of the marine corps last year but around July 2019 I was on honor guard for Camp Pendleton and we did services for riverside national cemetery(burial ceremonies) and there was also volunteers too (old veterans). All of them had there blues (fancy uniform) and I saw a older short guy and we started talking and he was a Vietnam vet and he said that he was a tunnel rat and he was issued a 1911 and a flashlight and he didn’t go into detail about what he saw but you could tell he had seen some stuff by the look in his eyes. He said he was selected to be a tunnel rat because of his height he was like 5”5 and real skinny. He was a really interesting and down to earth guy.
"Down to earth guy"

my Grandfather was a tunnel rat. he has 4 purple heart's. he said he only fired a gun twice the whole war. they sent them into those tunnels with a knife. no guns. I can only imagine how many necks he cut. I don't smart off to that old man
You shouldn't smart off to any old man or woman. They've earned the respect, all of them.

My buddy Ritchie was a tunnel rat in Vietnam. Serious PTSD. He freaked out on a bus in NYC one day because a car backfired, luckily I was with him and calmed him down cause he was right back "in country" and he needed to be brought home again. I too have PTSD and was able to soothe him mentally. No lie.

beast bet he was a badass
with some big balls lol
@@justinlozano4690 yeah brother and he was only 5'7".
He was a great dad to myself and my sister.
Easily the baddest dudes on the planet . There were about 700 or so volunteers and about 200 or so left. Each tunnel rat strictly volunteered...their bravery and honor should never be forgotten. Truly the best of the best . Character set apart in my opinion ... To dive into that deep , dark , unknown tunnel not knowing what lurks beneath is unreal. The dangers they encountered were that of nightmares . God bless each and every tunnel rat
I can't imagine living in that kind of fear.
Let alone working in it.
At any moment to be killed like that...young men on both sides. It kinda makes me hate how it's portrayed in black ops 1.
CoD was funded by the department of defense. Its a recruitment tool.
You are learning
Black ops 1 made the tunnels look like a weird route to a party vs the actual thing
@@bandolierboy1908 I don’t even remember tunnels in black ops 1

My gruncle was a tunnel rat, He was crazy then and still is 😂

God i cant imagine how painfull it must have been to fall into a spike trap
They are called punji stakes.
Especially when they are covered with feces.
They would smear them with human s*** so that it made sure you got an infection.
That makeshift flash can on the front of the revolver is interesting. Without modern hearing protection, gunshots in those tunnels would be deafening, I never knew the concept of directing the muzzle blast forward away from the shooter was something soldiers were doing in Vietnam
very perceptive
makes a lot more sense if it was something like that than someone trying to issue suppressed revolvers
That's why most tunnel rats didn't carry guns; instead they carried only a knife.
I was wondering if anybody noticed that.
I was wondering why they had that on the front of a revolver
@@imbananaman1390 also note the fact it was a revolver not a 1911. Tunnel rats had to request guns from home in .32 or 9mm and make or buy a suppressor. A 1911 (more specifically .45) would blind and deafen you in those tunnels
Rest In Peace to my friend Kenneth, who was a tunnel rat in Vietnam. I miss you
A very close family friend of mine was a tunnel rat. Small guy and orny as a badger, unsure if the orny came after or before his experience as a tunnel rat. By far the toughest man I know, he doesn't speak about his time in the war, I think he wishes to keep it on the past.
I heard close brushes with death can make people heavily focus on reproduction if they don’t already have kids. Kinda like the baby boom after ww2
What they went through no man even in your worst nightmare could even imagine, many that i spoke to would suddenly stop talking while telling their story but couldn't continue you could see it in their face, many of my friends who were lucky enough to get back home prefer not to speak of it
My uncle was a tunnel rat he never talks about it unless you asks , he doesn’t use lights in his house so it’s always dark
Could you say more about it ?
No lights due to PTSD ? please elaborate . Could be an interesting story
My Grand Father WW11 vet British Commando. Jamaican, that man hated lights and he could not watch war movies for long he would react to it.
@@hollysmith7393 paraphrasing Sam Fisher, if you can't see them, they can't see you. Light gives away your position
@@emau2459 yeah I got that but he said that he still doesn’t like lights on in his home so I was asking why he didn’t like lights in his home to this day and is it from PTSD
I have been into this tunnels twice. It was humid, hot, and dark. Before letting you into the tunnel, they ask whether you have any heart conditions, asthma, claustrophobic. I heard the part, where I have been, had already been widened so tourists can just bend down and walk through.
Along the side in the tunnel, you can see some smaller paths leading to the deeper part of the tunnel which you can just literally crawl. Those paths were the original size of the tunnel and it was inaccessible.
On the surface, you still see a lot of bomb craters, rusted shrapnels scattered everywhere, ventilation holes disguised as termite nests, false entrances opened to pike traps that used to be filled with human waste.
At the end of the trip, I was offered steam cassava root with salt and sesame. It was the main food back then for the peoples who lived in these tunnels.
They would not exist after a few years
except you havent
Huge respect for Vietnamese for their courage and tactics they had to develop with little they had.
Iron (Fe) leached from the upper soil layers (0 to 1.5 m) and accumulated in the lower layers (1.5 to 20 m) and became a cement-like binding agent. When dried the soil layers took on properties close to concrete, and were resistant to ever becoming soft and moist again especially around the aerated tunnel walls. The tunnels were dug in the monsoon season when the upper layers of soil were soft and moist but not in dry season. The soils were highly stable without any lining or support. After drying out, the soil materials surrounding the tunnel turned into concrete like material that could withstand adjacent explosive blasts.
Interesting
Very informative 👍🏻
The book "avenger" by Frederick Forsyth has the main character as a tunnel rat veteran turned vigilante and is really worth the read.
The badass with the suppressed revolver got me fellin some kind of way.
@@gavinb1936 the gasses will escape out the front of the cylinder and it wouldn't be an ideal situation but you shouldn't have any body part ahead of a cylinder anyway.
@@gavinb1936 its more about flash suppression in most cases
When I was in high school, my best friend's brother was a Ranger tunnel rat, serving 3 tours. He was a skinny guy but very mean and got into it. Once he got back to the States, he only lived 9 months before he drove his GTO into a telephone pole at over 100 mph. He was 22.
Our war hero also survived Nam '2"tours came home someone else was driving the car flipped end over end .he was 21 "EL GATO"!
Nah its all good Reznovs down there he got you
Black ops 1 reference
They forget to add that all tunnel rats were 5'5 and shorter or how they were sent into the tunnels with a handgun and when using them inside the tunnels would cause temporary blindness from the muzzle flash and ringing in the ears/loss of hearing from shooting the handgun hence the reason why you see most tunnel rats with a revolver and a suppressor attached to it reducing the sound of the gun and the muzzle flash fun note all revolvers and suppressors were all gifts from family members making sure that they had the right equipment for the job that us army didn't want to/couldn't provide
Suppressing a revolver is useless due to the cylinder gap.
@@tyrannosaurusimperator yea it was mostly used just for muzzle flash tho
@@tyrannosaurusimperator and I'm not just letting you know cuz I read this up in a book but I know this because of my co worker he's a Vietnam vet and tells me about the things he has experienced and all I can say is that it gets pretty crazy/gorey
@@tyrannosaurusimperator the 1895 nagant as shown in the pic near the end actually could use suppressors it had no cylinder gap
Tunnel rats have my respect. It took guts to go down in a tunnel where every step could be your last.
I read the tunnel rats of cu chi. What an amazing bunch of brave warriors. Glad my military time didn't have me do that. Incredibly brave.
i think the most dangerous job of Vietnam war was protecting your homeland
A tunnel cannot be “rendered inept”.
Only something living could ever be considered “inept” or “without skill”.
Getting controversial war propaganda from an organization on TH-cam that doesn't know the difference between "inept" and "inert". Can almost smell the apple pie
Old mate at the end seems to be carrying a revolver with a silencer- that's odd...
It wouldn't full on suppress the gun since there's a gap between the chamber and cylinder, but you'd take what you can get in a literal hole in the ground.
Flash can, according to the comments.
@@mr.nazareth4501 Really? So it doesn't do anything for sound? If that's the case, I find that odd too... 🤷 Oh well
Some say it's a nagant revolver, and it is supressable
I learned about this from Tunnel Rat the GI Joe. If you read his file card it explains how he does the job and is good at it. Larry Hama who wrote all the GI Joe file cards based their bios on people he served with in Vietnam so the reality is there under the surface layers
That's actually really interesting.
Even more risky: Vietnamese civilian.
Your risk of being warcrimed was enormous
The Cong were like ants with their tunnel making skills
My great grandpa was one. Dudes still livin strong at 96. 🙏
Don't forget about they had tigers too
The desperation the VC faced must have been harrowing. Anything to stop the imperialists
Everybody’s grandpa was a tunnel rat huh lol
Just like everyone's grandpa was german but boycotted the nazis
Picture of the guy at the end with a suppressor on his revolver. I’m afraid that won’t do much
I was going to comment on that goofy action
@@joshdove4562 what a little bit of tomfoolery. Quite the blunder
The " silencer " at the end of the Revolver 🔫 ,was more of lessening the flash when fired inside the darkened tunnel.. which could be More unsettling.. temporarily blinding ..
Just my observations..
@@manfredrichthofen2494 that’s a good point
Definitely helped save his hearing a little bit it's not meant to be so much a flash suppressor,one can close their eyes as it's not like you had to aim.
They had entire cities underground. Could reach thousands of people.
A friend of mine join the Marine Corps at 17 he was a Tunnelrat I believe he had 17 confirmed kills and four of them or women
Actually, the most dangerous US military job in Vietnam was being a radio operator. The life expectancy of a radio operator in the Vietnam War ranged between five to six seconds all the way up to a slightly-more-optimistic thirty seconds, depending on your source.
Why is that?
Which source?
@@PriceTheCourier The radio is the lifeline back to base or support; the most valuable asset I would say if you're in a warzone. Just my opinion
@@PriceTheCourier they would probably aim to take our communication asap

Pilots also had an extraordinarily high casualty rate.
Recon pilots in little buffalos had a high mortality rate
My great grandpa fought the French, then a few of my aunts and uncles fought the Americans during the War. My Grandpa was a Viet Minh officer and worked with General Giap for a bit. Luckily they didn’t die.

Was that a revolver with a silencer at the end? That's a bit pointless
It was mostly to reduce muzzle flash. And it did make it a bit quieter.
Imagine being a vietcong guy and living in a place like that
I could only imagine the temperature and how it feels sleeping deep down the tunnel.
I think once you get deep enough the temperature drops, like being in a cave.
They said it was often up to 110 down there and u needed to keep ur face close to the ground where there was more 02.
"oh no! It's a hole that goes downward"

Man, I heard they would pop out of those tunnels, ambush us, and disappear 😬
My uncle was a tunnel rat during the war, man encountered so much down there in those tunnels, I just recently lost him due to Stage 4 cancer, he was a hero in my eyes and will never be forgotten. These men are slowly falling in front of our eyes and need to be appreciated more than what they were used to when they got home back in the day. We need to appreciate them while we still have them here. Same with every veteran no matter what.
They used revolvers. The 1911 was notoriously awful for clearing tunnels
Don’t see how a revolver would be much better
@@gruzi. well, if you know anything about guns, you know that there are less moving parts in a revolver and the 1911s were known to more easily bec jammed and/or filled with debris.
@@gruzi. mechanism advances manually if you have a misfire. Dud round in an auto that you can't clear in a tunnel is a death sentence not to mention the risk of the slide being depressed in a hand-to-hand fight.
Cool!
Need Help Figuring This Out
The very last photo, the gentleman coming out of the tunnel had a revolver that looked like it had a silencer on the front of it??.. now I know a little bit about guns & I know silencers don't work on revolvers.... Can someone explain
Possibly to reduce the muzzle flash so it wouldn't blind him as much in the darkness of the tunnel when fired. After least that's what I think.
@@xaviersmith4845 yea your absolutely right. I did a little looking around & asking the question on Google. And theyd improvise & make they own blast reducer they call it on Wikipedia. Awesome to learn something new every day.
Dude rocking that suppressed nagant revolver. He's got taste.
Love for the Vietnam freedom fighters.Who fought for his Nation
Vietcong?
@@Ezerox1 sorry
I love the last slide where the dude is holding a revolver with a suppressor on it 😂😂🤣 I’m sure it helps a little bit but not much lol
I'm sure it helps a lot by reducing recoil/muzzle flash in that extremely small space as well as helping with the deafening sound that probably comes with firing a revolver in a small tunnel.
That’s last pic🫢my boy is serious! Got the silencer on the revolver, niiiiice! God Bless ALL our service men, and women.
I have a very innate fear of small tunnels from when I used to dig snow tunnels as a child. The tunnels were always so small and i constantly got stuck where the tunnels curved. I feel like these tunnels wouldn't be as small, but it still makes me uneasy when I see pictures of this.
The homie at the end with the suppressor on a revolver💀💀
Those revolvers, when fired slid the cylinder forward and had metal down the sides of the front of the cylinder making it airtight when firing. So the suppressor was actually very effective
@@allheartallhate not many people know about the m1895 nagant revolver, as far as I know it’s still the only revolver that can effectively utilize a suppressor due to the mechanics you mentioned
Suppressed .38 at the end 🤐😵
Yup
absolutely terrifying
The crazy kind of clay sand that they have there is crazy! Its soft, but strong!! In Canada we have so many different kinds of soils, but nothing that is like that. Amazing the tunnels you can build in the earth there
Wow didn’t really wanna watch this but I felt the need after losing so many my buddies.
Semper find my brothers…. welcome home.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏽👍🏽
The Viet Cong were so awesome at guerilla warfare. That, combined with an ideological drive, made them survive the occupation.
- It's easy when you have an ocean of Jungle to hide in. Out in the open. They were quickly made into dead history.
- They found that out during Tet.
- And ideoligy; that's easy too! Just promise the ignorant fool a workers paradise where everything he needs & wants will be provided by a Comunist State. But all that millions ever got was an early grave.
That was was extremely deadly on ground level I can't imagine how much worse it was below the ground in those tunnels
These tunnels go deeper then you can imagine. There has been tunnels that had hospital/medical sections, kitchens, living quarters etc. Essentially a small village underground. Even with stories, you cannot imagine. Grenades of flamethrowers can only reach so far
This is what my grandfather did during Vietnam, never really talked about It but unfortunately recently passed due to throat cancer unfortunately. Rip 🙏

@@footballbasketball182hi5 They always have various reasons to interfere in other's business. Do read how many conflicts in nascent stages were intervened by US and turned into full blown warfare
@Mesozoiker that's true. But entry of US streched out the war. Also at the end North Vietnam still won, but with enormous death tolls.
See my point was that entry of US is not the best option and most of the times it made things worse, which is effectively covered via influenced narrative.
Not as dangerous as being a veitnamese civilian
In the 1980s I knew a guy who was a tunnel rat when he was 19 years old. He was the most easy going, happy and positive person I ever met. He really appreciated life and lived it to the fullest
Liked the silencer on the revolver 😁😆😅🤣😂🤣
Congratulations USA for doing this to your people
Eyy, my favorite GI Joe. 😄
My dads friend was a Tunnel Rat in Vietnam. Best way to discribe him is Mr. Rodgers. A very calm unsettling demeanor with eyes that can pierce right through you 24/7 365. A Great guy and I feel bad for what he has to carry around with him. I could only imagine and I never wanted to ask.
One of my 15 or 17 godfathers was a tunnel rat. It's tell stories of him entering into these little tunnels with nothing but a pistol and a flashlight and having said that he's seen empty places of where the enemy was, also that he actually had to fire his weapon in certain times he actually found the enemy.
First
this was my absolute favorite mission in BO1 where you sneak through and go into a rat tunnel to find steiner or whoever it was
That revolver with a silencer/suppressor was wild
My grandpa was in the vietnam war and for a short time he was a tunnel rat.
Long Live Vietnam ❤️
The most dangerous task was being a Vietnamese person whose country was being invaded by the US. The US killed 3 million Vietnamese but please make more propaganda about how bad it was for amerikkkan soldiers

“Rudimentary traps” biased story-telling. It’s what they had man and it worked.
Well they were rudimentary but he didn’t say they weren’t effective
@@thatdude9588 rudimentary as defined by not-the-Vietnamese
Huge Respect to these Men.
Legendary weapons you can see here….1911 45 ACP pistol, SKS 7.62.39 mm rifle, Nagant revolver and that flame thrower at the beginning..
They comitted a lot of bad stuff in the vietnam war why would they start being so humane about bunkers? Explode it or pour gasoline in the hole and set it on fire, anyone inside will choke because of the gases.
You see they tried that, but it wasnt as effective as you think
The classic pic with that VC crouched down in a tunnel with his SKS is so badass
It is worth stating that most of these men were drafted into something that was not declared a war, and they were likely only 18-20 years old.
Nothing as galant amd honourable !!! Wow!!! Completely laking in today!!
