Improvised Weapons & Munitions – U.S. Army Ultimate Handbook

Originally created as a U.S. Army Technical Manual, this ebook provides detailed explanation of manufacturing munitions from seemingly innocuous locally available materials. Primarily intended to increase the potential of Special Forces and guerrilla troops, "Improvised Munitions Handbook" represents perfect reading for all arms enthusiasts, as well as civilians considering their safety. This edition offers simple instructions, enriched with a large number of illustrations, on various techniques for constructing many different weapons and devices made of materials that can be bought in a drug or hardware store or found in a junkyard. The instructions are presented in a way that even people normally not familiar with making and handling munitions can use them.
