3.  Mr. Todd talked about the evolution of weapons from WWI to Vietnam  He had many cool guns and helmets and booby traps that were used to kill the enemy

4.  Early rifles were inaccurate  They often had bayonets on them  Once the shotgun came around, the soldiers used it more

5.  Civil War weapons were heavy and inaccurate  In the trenches of WWI, they preferred shotguns since you didn’t have to really aim to hit your target and they hit many at once  They did away with the rifles they had during the Civil War

6.  There was an array of booby traps used in Vietnam and WWII.  They were mostly explosive traps, including grenades, glass grenades, and other exploding things that did as much damage as possible to the enemy

7.  We kept in mind that these weapons were used to kill thousands of people  That was the concept of war…kill them before they killed you  The weapons were designed to kill other human beings  As many as possible, as fast as possible
