Explain the effectiveness of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Can you solve this please?
The Ho Chi Minh Trail was a NETWORK of trails and roads, in "neutral" Laos and Cambodia. The "trail" was under constant surveillance by the US/Allies, both on the ground (covert operations) and in the air; the "trail" was under constant aerial attack by Spectre AC-130 Gunships who "truck hunted" the trail (shot up trucks); as well as B-52 bombers, and other aircraft. Because the US would not/could not widen the war into Laos/Cambodia (risking intervention by the communist superpowers, which DID happen in Korea); the US could not OCCUPY the Ho Chi Minh Trail...the system could only be watched and hit with air strikes. When US Air Power destroyed one road, NVA crews simply built another road to go around it. Aerial photos show portions of the "trail" looking like the moon, with craters everywhere. But, NVA engineers just built roads going through the craters, around the craters, or filling in the craters, etc.
How many miles was the ho chi minh trail?
Almost 10,000 miles of roads, trails, and waterways which created a "system" of routes leading into the RVN (Republic of South Vietnam). The trail was NOT just a single trail (route) as the name would suggest; rather a road (or route system) system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't think there is any way possible you could get an accurate count on how long the trail was. when I was over there in 1969 my unit did missions close or sometime on the trail entering it from different points. when it was all said and done we hadn't seen a third of the trail. one reason is that the ho chi minh trail cut into Laos and Cambodia also. but as the above stated the trail was not a single trail but a vast vast net work of trails. you had branches leading off or dissecting the supposedly main trail then you had branches leading off from the secondary ones. I think this was so due to the bombing the us did over the years on the trail. each time we would carry out an air strike ( most times with b52's carrying 500 to 100 lb bombs and they can carry about 80 of them) the NV army with the help of the vc would simply relocate the trail that is one of the reasons I think why it had so many networks or branches
How do you correct the shot from an air gun?
Usually it's done from the rear sight (IF IT MOVES, some of the less expensive air guns can not be adjusted,) If you aim at a target 30 to 60 feet away (60' is the preferred distance) and your pellet strikes to the left of where you aim, then move your rear sight to the right. or the other way around if it strikes too far to the right, then go left. For up down, if it strikes to high them lower the adjustment and reverse if it strikes to low. Use the harvest weight pellet you can find. Do not use Gamo Raptors they are too light and wonder off target in a slight crosswind. I suggest something like Crosman competition 7.4 grain or another target brand like H&N.
