"The HORRORS of the M50 Ontos in Vietnam - Why Its Beehive Rounds Were Banned From Conversation The Army rejected it. The Marines took it anyway. And the M50 Ontos became the most terrifying weapon in Vietnam. Built by a farm equipment company in two weeks the Ontos mounted six 106mm recoilless rifles on a nine-ton chassis with armor so thin heavy machine guns could penetrate it. It was obsolete before it shipped. But at Hue City in [----] it saved the Marines.

"What Happened When SAS Used Shotguns As Pistols And US Officers Were Shocked What Happened When SAS Used Shotguns As Pistols And US Officers Were Shocked In the US Army officers carried .45 pistols and grunts carried rifles. The Australian SAS point men (the guys at the front) broke this norm by carrying a sawed-off shotgun in a holster on their hip essentially using a primary weapon as a sidearm. The "realization" for the US SEALs was seeing the devastating speed of this setup. If the Aussie's rifle ran dry during a sudden ambush he didn't pull a tiny pistol; he pulled a 12-gauge shotgun."

"What Happened When the Viet Cong Stole US Mines And Used Them Against Tanks What Happened When the Viet Cong Stole US Mines And Used Them Against Tanks This flips the script to show American engineering failing. The US planted thousands of M16 "Bouncing Betty" mines to protect their perimeters. However the Viet Cong were master sappers who figured out how to locate these mines pin them so they wouldn't explode and steal them.

Unlike regular infantry these sappers were elite commandos trained to infiltrate American firebases wire by wire.
