>Hey /k/, Im ashamed to say that I know very little about the Korean war. I understand the political history, but know virtually nothing about the technology. I notice that the closeness of it to WW2 makes it a very interesting time for weapons, and would like to know more about what weapons/vehicles they had been using. What upgrades from WW2 had been made?

Choppers and jet planes.

By and large most of the equipment was the same, the average grunt on both sides being armed with weaponry developed for WW2, with some exceptions
>M20 Super Bazooka
>Pershing and M46 Patton Tanks
>M2 and M3 (limited use) carbines
>Centurion tanks (Commonwealth Forces)
>Choppers
>Jet aircraft on both sides
This is a simplified list but you get the idea.

Korea was a shitty pointless war, waged solely to protect some cocksucking dictatorship on the basis of "well, they aren't communists".

We are still roped into this retarded conflict today, all for the pleasure of condemning millions of norks to being ruled by generations of fatass gooks who now have nuclear weapons.
