VN134 “Viet Cong Heavy Machine Gun Set”

Last month we released the North Vietnamese Army version of the DShK 12.7mm Heavy Machine Gun in the anti aircraft role.

These same guns were also supplied to the Viet Cong to be used in the ground defense role. As such most of them were mounted on small, wheeled carriages that could be man-handled around the battlefield and pulled by one or two men (and women too).

Our gunner here is a young female volunteer.
