2. The weapon is only as good as the guy using it.
3. The kill ratio in the Vietnam War was 20 to 1. do the math...America lost 58,000 men...what is 58,000*20?it = a lot of dead "Charlies"

1,160,000

1. And "charlie" killed quite a few americans in vietnam.

2. Wouldn't say so, the m16 back then was basically a piece of shit which was VERY sensitive to dust and dirt. The AK-47 could get mucked up left and right and still function properly, basically it suited the environemnt more and was a better weapon because of that. Today though im not sure what is the better weapon, the ak-74 is a big improvement over the 47 and the m16-a2 is obviously a big improvement over the prototype m-16.

3. And still they kept coming. Doesn't really matter how much they lost they were fanatics and kept coming and coming. I don't think america could have won that war short of dropping nukes on the country.
