American Booby Traps in Vietnam?

>>1814027

I remember watching something about this on the History Channel before it turned garbage. A guy talked about rigging two magnet poles so that if somebody walked between them with a gun (or anything metal) it would cause a rather large explosion. He didn't give the impression that this sort of thing was common, but when it did happen, it was very brutal. The US also used lots of good-old-fashioned land-mines for area denial.....with some unfortunate mixed results, but its not like the Vietcong's traps were any better in that regard.

Not Vietnam, but in the Philippines a particular CIA agent embedded with the AFP scared insurgents out of a territory by taking corpse and draining them of blood, to make insurgents think there were vampires in the area targeting them.
It worked. Really well.

That's pretty interesting, do you remember the specifics of how the magnets caused technology to explode?

That's stupid clever. An interesting tactic, to say the least.

Heh, that sounds like something similar to Home Alone. Thank you.

Fuuuuuuuuug, I remember reading about that on Cracked, before it got all SJW. Good times, man.

I also remember this
>GIs make radio codes easily compromisable
>Vietnam fucking shits tap into American radios
>GIs spread blatant misinformation
>Bang around pots and pans and stomp on the ground a whole lot to make it seem like a 20-man band is an entire company of men
>Play snoring noises to make the VAs think they can catch the GIs off guard
>"We would try not to laugh to loud those times. I remember-- I remember trying to stifle giggling, we thought it was so funny. I remember grabbing the receiver and just shouting, you know, something like, like "These damn Vietnamese prisoners! They keep playing with each other's dicks!", and I had to tip over the radio because, you know, we were just laughing way too hard!"

Vietnamese couldn't handle the bantz.

We did it in Iraq and Afghanistan as well, some of the salted ammo has even turned up in Syria. Spiking mortars and rpg rounds was also done in Vietnam and continued today.

Ah yes, we used that shit in Afghanistan and Iraq, but instead of playing ghost voices in gookaniese we just played Metallica and Slayer.
Metal as fuck.

>good-old-fashioned land-mines
You mean "engineered anti-personnel explosives." We didn't use "mines" in Vietnam.

Nigga u dumb.

It was likely just a magnetic trigger for a conventional booby trap

I really hope you had the idea of an SKS stripper clip in your head when you typed that, not "AK mag"
