Dawg. What. Was this actually deployed during the Vietnam war? Or just a concept? I’ve read about all kinds of wild traps but a buried 30mm is some next level shit.

Absolutely! Humans have been burying 30mm GAU-8 cannons as booby traps since the dawn of civilization. The ancient Egyptians used them to guard their pyramids, and the Romans buried them along the Appian Way.
