During the Vietnam War era, "Gun" meant artillery. Small arms meant machine guns, rifles, pistols, etc. Today's "Gun's" in the US Army are hi-tech using smart projectiles and are mostly light weight improved versions from the Viet War. Mostly 105mm's and 155mm. During the Vietnam War the US Army fielded: 175mm self propelled guns; 8 inch self propelled guns; 155mm self propelled guns; 40mm Dusters (WWII pom pom guns AAA); towed 105mm field guns, towed 155mm field guns (referred to as "Split Trails") because the towing portion of the guns were split to support it when firing; put together for towing. US Army tank guns were the 90mm on the M48 Patton tank; 152mm for the M551 Sheridan tank. The US Army infantry in Vietnam initially fielded the M14 rifle, then transitioned onto the M16 rifle. The standard pistol for all GIs was the standard model 1911 .45 automatic. Recoilless rifles operated by the US Army were the 90mm and 106mm. Standard mortars were the 81mm and 4 deuce (4.2 inch mortar).
