Or does "Vietnam-era" only refer to weapons used in the Vietnam war, as opposed to weapons throughout the world DURING the Vietnam war.

The NVA MiG-21 was good in 1960s

Haha, your post has a double meaning to me.

NVA can mean Nationale Volksarmee (National People's Army), which was the Armed Forces of the German Democratic Republic or North Vietnamese Army.

I'm guessing the MiG-21s of both NVAs were good then.

Doesn't an attack plane that saves lives kinda defeat its purpose? Imagine a medevac plane that takes many lives. Would be a terrible plane, wouldn't it?

C-130s were also used in the same role as the AC-47 in Vietnam, some of them had 105 mm howitzers, beside the gatling gun.
