The weapons the US Government provided. In the early years of the war the were furnished WWII era weapons, later, were provided the same mat
Total war in the south implied destroying everything...scorched earth policy...digging up the farms, bending railroad ties around trees, leveling brick buildings, killing livestock, etc. Total war in Vietnam would've implied the use of atomic weapons...consequently, total war was NOT deployed during the Vietnam War...Vietnam was a limited war...fought limited to conventional NON-ATOMIC weapons.
Which types of techniques did WHICH Vietnam use? There were two Vietnams: North Vietnam and South Vietnam.
The Korean War 1950-1953 and the Vietnam War 1961-1973 are normally classified at LIMITED WARS because they were limited in the boundaries of where they could fight, and limited with the weapons they could use, such as NO ATOMIC WEAPONS!
The exact same types which were in use throughout the entire Vietnam War. With the exception of some weaponry left over from the French colonial era, most weapons and weapons used by the Republic of Vietnam were US-sourced. As for which weapons, you could narrow it down by limiting it to certain types - weapons range from small arms to armoured vehicles to artillery pieces to aircraft and the munitions they drop, and a complete list would be much too long to feasibly post on here.
Because while we were supporting the south, the north were supported by the USSR, who also had nuclear missiles, and we didn't want to start a nuclear holocaust
Fear that the North Vietnamese would obtain nuclear weapons themselves (from Russia or China) and use them on South Vietnam or even on America.
The U.S used no nuclear weapons whatsoever on Vietnam.
1. Could not invade North Vietnam 2. Could not use atomic weapons 3. Could not stop flow of men/material into South Vietnam
None.

Total war is all out war; including the use of atomic weapons. The Korean War and the Vietnam War were LIMITED WARs, "No Atomic Weapons."

the US effectively lost the vietnam war.
M1-Garand is used in Vietnam. And thats about it.
They used ak 47 during the war. They used the first ever ones made
WWII was a TOTAL and Declared war. Meaning ALL weapons were used, including atomic weapons; total surrender of the enemy was sought...no peace agreements...surrender or face total destruction. Vietnam was a LIMITED war and not declared. Meaning NO atomic weapons would be used (although there were plans to use them, when given the order) and congress would not declare formal war as that implied the use of atomic weapons (implied total war). The enemy in Vietnam (North Vietnam) would not face total destruction but could end the conflict by a peace agreement.
