From air power to infantry to chemicals, the weapons used in the Vietnam War were more devastating than those of any previous conflict.
Both sides heavily relied on air power, especially B-52 bombers that dropped thousands of pounds of explosives on North Vietnam and Communist targets.
The United States used weapons that were manufactured in the states, along with highly toxic chemical defoliants and herbicides.
The Communist forces used weapons manufactured in China and The Soviet Union, along with booby traps using sharpened bamboo sticks or crossbows triggered by tripwires.
