The Deadliest Weapons American Troops Faced in Iraq

In Part 5 of our Enemy Weapons Series, we break down the weapons American troops faced during the Iraq War. From AKMs, RPG-7s, PKMs, and Tabuk rifles to IEDs, VBIEDs, EFPs, mortars, and suicide vests, Iraq changed the way America fought modern insurgencies. These weapons did more than cause damage, they reshaped U.S. doctrine, vehicle armor, route clearance, and the future of counter-IED warfare.
