Battlefield: Vietnam
Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield: Vietnam:
Colt M1911A1
Standard US/ARVN sidearm, with a 9-round magazine The Standard USG1 M1911A1 has a 7-Round Magazine. In the reload animation you can see the player putting a magazine in, the slide moves forward and then he pulls the slide again. In reality he would waste one bullet by doing that.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
Used by US Special Forces, cylinder holds six rounds.
Chinese Type 54 Pistol
This is the Chinese copy of the TT-33 Tokarev Pistol, except that the Chinese model has a frame mounted safety. The Type 54 is the standard NVA/VC sidearm, the magazine holds 8 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev.
Colt M16A1
Used by the US and ARVN, a semi-auto only variant with a scope can be used as a sniper weapon, both have 20-round mags. The scoped variant has a silencer in the menu and sounds like a silenced m16 but has no silencer while playing.

M1 Mortar
Mossberg 500
One of two US Infantry Weapons, sawed-off pistol grip and heat shield
M60 machine gun
Perhaps the most infamous weapon in the game due to a well-known early balance issue; the release version of the game featured a US kit with the M60 and LAW, with the M60 extremely damaging [you pointed it at people and they died] and accurate enough to be used for sniping. This essentially meant games boiled to to re-enactments of Rambo: First Blood Part 2, only with the same number of John Rambos as Vietnamese. This was quickly addressed in patches; the M60 was placed in a kit with the M79 rather than the much more powerful LAW, and both machine guns were made drasically less accurate.
M79
Grenade launcher used by US and ARVN. Has yellow striped camouflage painted on the barrel.
M72 LAW
Standard US/ARVN Anti-Tank Weapon
MAT-49
Mk 2 hand grenade

BGM-71 TOW
Seen mounted on some jeeps.Needs Verification. There is a TOW- like weapon mounted on U.S. army jeeps, but inexplicably is called M.U.T.T.
The Ford M 151 MUTT is based in the Jeep, and was used to carry the TOW. -Markost
