TT33:
The Tokarev TT33 is a sleek semiautomatic, single action handgun with an eight-round clip. The "33" in the name of the pistol refers to the year it was developed, but it has stood the test of time and remains a common weapon particularly among NVA officers.

Chicom SKS 56:
This semi-automatic carbine assault rifle from China has a ten-round magazine and is simple to operate. This weapon was more popular during the early years of the war before the more compact AK-47 became widely available.

MAT-49 Model:
A powerful submachine gun with a substantial 32-round magazine, the MAT-49 Mod is somewhat cumbersome and inaccurate. Originally designed and manufactured in France as a 9x19mm model, the NVA produces their own version locally chambered for 7.62mm rounds.

AK-47:
Compared to the American M16, the AK-47 has a slower fire rate and is less accurate, but it has a longer range. Its magazine holds 30 rounds. Introduced by the Soviets in 1949, the AK-47 has an effective range of 350 meters and a maximum range of 800 meters.

AKMS:
The AKMS is even less accurate than the AK-47 due to its folding stock. Otherwise, it is essentially the same weapon as the AK-47.

M-91/30:
The M-91/30 is the oldest and least accurate of the pure sniper rifles among the various armies. A bolt-action weapon with a five-bullet magazine, the Soviets used this rifle from 1932 until they replaced it with the superior SVD sniper rifle in 1963.

SVD Dragunov:
This Soviet-made lightweight semi-automatic sniper rifle does not quite match the M21 for accuracy, but it gets the job done. It has a ten-round magazine and performs well in all conditions. The Soviets built this rifle to replace the M-91/30.

RPD Degtarev:
Like the M60, the RPD has a 100-round belt, but it fires fewer rounds per minute than its US counterpart. What it lacks in quantity, however, it makes up for in accuracy. This 7.62mm light machine gun uses the same M43 ammo load as the AK-47 and is the standard infantry support weapon for the NVA.

Trigger a Bouncing Betty and you've got nowhere to hide. The mine springs up to roughly torso level and then detonates, usually killing the target immediately.

NVA Mine:
Place these explosives at a location and then remotely detonate them, or set them up to be tripped by a passing soldier. With their large radius of damage, these explosives are not very effective against vehicles, but extremely effective against troops on foot.

RPG-2:
This rocket-propelled grenade launcher is smaller and less powerful than the RPG-7V, but it can still get you out of some tight situations. It fires a PG-2 high explosive rocket with an effective range of 100 meters.
