Pentagon U.S. Military (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2004

In Unconventional Warfare operations it may be impossible or unwise to use conventional military munitions as tools in the conduct of certain missions. It may be necessary instead to fabricate the required munitions from locally available or unassuming materials. The purpose of this manual is to increase the potential of Special Forces and guerrilla troops by describing in detail the manufacture of munitions from seemingly innocuous locally available materials. Table of Contents: Explosives and propellants (including ingniters); Mines and Grenades; Small Arms Weapons and Ammunition; Mortars and Rockets; Incendiary Devices; Fuses, Detonators & Delay Mechanisms; Miscellaneous. The manual has many pictures and is written to make understanding easy.

This review is from: Improvised Munitions (Paperback)

This book is jam-packed with interesting pyrotechnic expertise. I have to admit that you would have to be completely insane to do half of the things in here, but there are quite a few that are relatively sane for backyard experimentation. Great buy.

This review is from: Improvised Munitions (Paperback)

Loads of information, with good illustrations. Would be a must have if you are in Iraq. Everyone would have a better understanding of improvised munitions if they would read this book, that includes the press.
