You mean "Vietnam". There were many firearms used in Vietnam by the U.S. The USGI started the war using M14 but switched shortly in the war to the M16 as the primary rifle. As for machine guns, they used the M-60. Pistols were Beretta 9mm and a few 1911 .45 because some people were smart and keep their 1911 from before the switch to 9mm. There are many more firearms used in Vietnam by the US, but those were the main players.
