Jon Keeble & Sarah Johnson Dr. Todd Weapons Man! Jon Keeble & Sarah Johnson 3rd Block

Dr. Todd was never actually in Vietnam, but he has a huge collection of weapons used in Vietnam. He has both American and Communist weapons that were used during the war, along with some of the fatigues and other equipment used.

Top Right: The AK-47 was well suited for jungle combat, used by the Communists, US Special Forces, and Montagnards. Top Left: Some Communist shotguns more of the WWII style weapons. Middle: Soviet made RPG-7 used by the Viet Cong. It was a light anti-tank weapon.

Left: Some Communist Weapons. The shot guns, AK-47, and a few pistols. Right: American weapons. Towards the back are some WWII style shot guns. In the middle is the M16, then the sub machine gun. On the bottom left is a claymore mine used as a booby trap. On the bottom right is the M72 LAW which could be slung across a soldiers back for easy access when needed.

Some of the vests and fatigues the American soldiers wore while in Vietnam. Heat was always a factor in planning their daily outfits, the cooler the better for these men. Also note the giant shell casing in the middle.

Then we got to play with the weapons!
