What bombs did the Americans use during the Vietnam war?

Answer 1

The US used everything from 500 lb. GP bombs to the massive BLU-82 "daisycutter." And then they used napalm. Pretty much every non-nuclear weapon in the US arsenal was used at some point over Vietnam.

Answer 2

Its a toss up between North Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh trail in both Laos and Cambodia. South VN certainly received a lot of tonnage, but artillery & rockets were able to be used in South VN thus supplementing the bombs; whereas artillery/rockets obviously couldn't be used very much in North VN/Laos/Cambodia, consequently "bombs" were used almost extensively in those places.

Answer 3

250 pounders, 500 lbs, 750 lbs, and 1000 lbs were the most common; with HE General Purpose being the favorite (HE-High Explosive). Napalm was also used, but primarily in South Vietnam. North Vietnam received mostly H-E.

The US Navy Iowa Class battleship USS New Jersey fired 2,000 lb 16" shells (nearly 6,000 of them) during the war. This battleship was intended to deliver the same ordnance that the airmen were delivering to target...without risking men and jets.
