I have worked with this and even have a somewhat humorous story if anyone is interested. In the first place this was a much more sophisticated program than is put forth here. These were not booby-traps as such, IMHO. These were manufactured munitions designed to be undetectable, even with X-Rays. They were packed in ChiCom and Soviet Block cases and were made to appear that they were the source. Maybe one or two rounds would be put in a case; and a case or two would be inserted into an enemy casche.. The objective was to create distrust of the Chicom and Soviet equipment (rather than casualties) in the minds of the VC and NVA.
U.S. Troops were instructed to never attmmpt to fire captured equipment but not the reason.
