                            INTRODUCTION
                              ------------

  "In Unconventional Warfare operations it may be impossible to use
cnventional military munitions... It may be necessary instead to
fbricate the required munitions froe locally available materials...
Te purpose of this Manual is to increase the potential of Special
Frces and querrilla troops by describing in detail the manufacture of
mnitions from seemingly innocuous locally available materials."

  "Each item was evaluated both theoretically and experimentally to
ae saftey and reliability... Saftey warnings are prominently 
iserted in the procedures where they apply but it is emphasized that
SFTEY IS A MATTER OF ATTITUDE."

                       SECTION I:  EXPLOSIVES             
---------------------------------------------------------------------

LTIC EXPLOSIVE FILLER -- This explosive can be detonated with
                           commercial #8 blasting cap.

TRIALS:
--------
 tassium Chlorate
 etroleum Jelly (Vaseline)
 ound stick or rolling pin
 ontainer for mixing ingredients

REDURE:
---------

 pread Potassium Chlorate crystals on a hard surface. Roll round
   stick over crystals to crush into find powder until it looks
   roughly like wheat flower.

)Place 9 parts powdered potassium chlorate and 1 part petroleum
   jelly in mixing container. Mix ingredients with hands (knead)
   until a uniform paste is obtained.

o: Store in a waterproof container until ready to use.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

OSSIUM NITRATE -- Potassium nitrate can be extracted from many
                    natural sources and can be used to make nitric
                    acid, black powder, and other pyrotechnics.

ARIALS:
---------
 trate bearing earth ( fertile soil containing decayed matter, dirt
  from burial grounds, etc..), about 3-1/2 gallons.
 ine wood ashes, about 1/2 cup
 ucket, 5 gallon or so
  pieces cloth larger than bottom of bucket
 allow pan at least as large as bottom of bucket
 hallow heat resistant container
 ater, 1-3/4 gallons
 wl or screwdriver
  gallon alcohol (rubbing alcohol is ok)
 eat source, Paper, Tape

PCEDURE:
---------

 unch holes in bottom of bucket. Spread one piece of cloth over
   holes inside of bucket.

)Place wood ashes on cloth and spread to make a layer about the
   thickness of the cloth. Place second piece of cloth on top of the
   ashes.

)Place dirt in bucket.

)Place bucket over shallow container. Bucket may be supported on
  sticks.

)Boil water and pour it over dirt in bucket a little at a time.
   Allow water to run through holes in bucket into shallow container.
   Be sure water goes through ALL of the dirt. Allow drained liquid
   to cool and settle for 1 to 2 hours.

)Drain liquid into heat resistant container. Discard any sludge in
   bottom of container.

)Boil mixture over fire for at least 2 hours. Small grains of salt
   will begin to appear in the solution. Scoop these out as they 
 form, using any type of improvised strainer (paper, etc.).

)When liquid has boiled down to half its original volume, remove
   from fire and let sit. After half an hour add an equal volume of
   alcohol. When mixture is poured through paper, small white
   crystals (potassium nitrate) will collect on top of it.

)To purify the potassium nitrate, re-desolve the dry crystals in
   the smallest possible amount of water. Remove any salt crystals
   that appear (step 7); pour through filter and evaporate or gently
 heat the concentrated solution to dryness.

0 Spread crystals on flat surface and allow to dry. The crystals
    are now ready for use.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

MOVISED BLACK POWDER -- Black powder can be made in a simple, safe
                          manner. It can be used as blasting or gun
                          powder.

ARIALS:
---------
 tassium Nitrate, Granulated, 3 Cups (see above)
 ood charcoal, powdered, 2 cups
 ulfur, powdered, 1/2 cup
 lcohol, 5 pints (whiskey, rubbing alcohol, etc)
 ater, 3 cups
 eat source
 buckets, 2 gallons each, one of which is heat resistant
 lat window screening, 1 foot square
 arge wooden stick
 loth, 2 feet square

REDURE:
--------

)Place alcohol in one of the buckets

)Place potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfer in the heat
   resistant bucket. Add 1 cup water & mix thoroughly with stick
   until all ingredients are dissolved.

)Add remaining water (2 cups) to mixture. Place bucket on heat
   source and stir until small bubbles begin to form.

TN: Don't boil mixture. Be sure ALL mixture stays wet. If any is
        dry it may ignite!!

)Remove bucket from heat and pour mixture into alcohol while 
   stirring vigorously.

)Let alcohol mixture stand about 5 minutes. Strain mixture through
   cloth to obtain black powder. Discard liquid. Wrap cloth around
   black powder and squeeze to remove all excess liquid.

)Place screening over dry bucket. Place workable abount of damp
   powder on screen and qranulate by rubbing solid through screen.

T If granulated particles appear to stick together and change
     shape, recombine entire bach of powder and repeat steps 5 & 6.

)Spread granulated black powder on flat dry surface so that layer
   about 1/2 inch is formed. Allow to dry. Use radiator or direct
   sunlight. This should be dried as soon as possible, preferably
   in one hour. The longer the drying period, the less effective
   the black powder.

AION: Remove from heat AS SOON AS granules are dry. Black powder
       is now ready for use.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

IIC ACID -- Nitric acid is used in the preperation of many explo-
              sives, incendiary mixtures, and acid delay timers.

ARIALS:
---------
 parts Potassium Nitrate, see above for improvised P.N.
  part CONCENTRATED sulfuric acid (from car battery)
  bottles or ceramic jugs, narrow necks are preferable
 rying pan
 eat source
 pe (paper, electrical, masking, ect..but not cellophane!)
 aper or rags

PTANT: If sulfuric acid is obatined from car battery, concetrate
          it by boiling until white fumes appear. Don't inhale
          the fumes!!

REDURE:
---------

 lace dry potassium nitrate in bottle or jug. Add sulfuric acid.
   Do not fill bottle more than 1/4 full. Mix until paste if formed.

AION: Sulfuric acid will burn skin and destroy clothing. Fumes are
        also dangerous and shouldn't be inhaled.

)Wrap paper or rags around the necks of two bottles. Securely tape
   necks of bottles together. Be sure bottles are flush against
  each other and that there are no air spaces.

)Support bottles on rocks or cans so that the empty bottle is
   SLIGHTLY lower than the bottle containing paster so that the
   nitric acid that is formed in recieving bottle will not flow into
   other bottle.

)Build fire in frying pan.

)Gently heat bottle containing mixture by moving fire back and
   forth underneath the bottle. As red fumes appear periodically
   pour cool water over empty recieving bottle. Nitric acid will
  begin to form in the recieving bottle.

AION: Don't overheat or wet bottle containing mixture or it may
        shatter. As an added precaution place the bottle to be
        heated in a can filled with sand or gravel. Heat the outer
        container to make nitric acid.

)Continue above process until no more red fumes are formed. If 
   the nitric acid formed in the recieving bottle is cloudy pour
   it into cleaned bottle and repeat steps 2-6.

AION: Nitric acid should be kept away from all combustibles and
       should be kept in a sealed ceramic or glass container.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

EILIZER EXPLOSIVE -- An explosive can be made from fertilizer grade
                       ammonium nitrate and either fuel or moter oil
                       and gasoline.

ARIALS:
---------

 uel oil or gasoline and motor oil (1:1 ratio)
 wo flat boards
 ucket
 on or steel pipe
 lasting cap
 ooden rod, 1/4 inch diameter
 oon

REDURE:
---------

 pread a handful of the ammonium nitrate on the large flat board
   and rub vigorously with the other board until the large particles
   are crushed into very fine powder that looks like flour (around
   10 min.)

)Mix one measure (cup, tablespoon, etc..) of fuel oil with 16
   measures of the finely ground ammonium nitrate in a dry bucket
   and stir with the wooden rod. If fuel oil isn't available, use
   one half measure gasoline and one half measure motor oil. Store
  in waterproof container untill ready to use.

-------------------------------------------------------------------- 

AON TET EXPLOSIVE -- A moist explosive mixture cab be made from
                       fine aluminum powder and carbon tetrachloride.

ARIALS:
---------
 ne aluminum bronzing powder (from paint store)
 arbon Tetrachloride
 tirring rod, mixing container, measuring container (cup, tablespoon,
%c..), storage container

O: If you can't find carbon tet, look in your schools chemistry or
     biology rooms and "borrow" some.

ODURE:
--------

 Measure two parts aluminum powder to one part carbon tet liquid
   into mixing container, adding liquid to powder while stirring
   with the wooden rod.

)Stir until the mixture becomes the consistency of honey syrup.

AION: Fumes from the liquid are dangerous and should not be 
        inhaled.

)Store explosive in jar or other waterproof container until ready
   to use.  The liquid in the mixture evaporates quickly when not
   confined.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

RLIZER AN-AL EXPLOSIVE -- A dry explosive mixture can be made from
                             ammonium nitrate fertilizer and fine
                             aluminum powder.

ARIALS:
---------
 monium nitrate fertilizer (not less than 32% nitrogen)
 ine aluminum bronzing powder
 easuring container, mixing container, two flat boards, storage
cntainer

PCEDURE:
--------

)METHOD 1 - To obtain a low velocity explosive

   Use measuring container to measure four parts fertilizer to
    one part aluminum powder and pour into the mixing container.
     (ie. 4 cups fertilizer to 1 cup aluminum powder)

   Mix ingredients well with the wooden rod.

)METHOD 2 - To obtain much higher velocity explosive

   Spread a handful at a time of fertilizer on the large flat
     board and rub vigorously with the other board until the
     large particles are crushed into very fine powder that looks
     like flour (10 minutes per handful.)

O: Proceed with step B below as soon as possible since the powder
   may take moisture from the air and become spoiled.

   Follow steps A and B of method one (above.)

)Store the explosive in a waterproof container.

--------------------------------------------------------------------  

IIC ACID / NITROBENZENE -- A simple explosive can be made from
                             mononitrobenezene and nitric acid.

 ass bottle (1 quart), Rag or absorbent paper, string

REDURE:
---------

 ulfuric acid must be concentrated!!!  If battery acid or other
  dilute acid is used, concentrate it by boiling until dense white
   fumes are given off. Container used should be enamel-ware or
   oven glass.

AION: Sulfuric acid will burn! Be carefull...

)Remove acid from heat and allow to cool.

)Pour gasoline into large bottle until it is approximately 2/3
   full.

)Add concentrated sulphuric acid to gasoline slowly until the
   bottle is filled to within 1" to 2" from top. Place stopper on
   the bottle.

)Wash outside of bottle thoroughly.

UON: If this is not done the fire bottle may be dangerous to
        handle during use.

)Wrap clean cloth around outside of bottle. Tie with string.

)Dissolve 1/2 cup of potassium chlorate and 1/2 cup of sugar in
   one cup of boiling water.

)Allow solution to cool, pour into a small bottle and cap tightly.
   The cooled solution should be approx. 2/3 crystals and 1/3 liquid.
   If there is more liquid than this, pour off excess before using.

AION: Store this bottle seperatly from the other bottle.

 E:
-----

)Shake the small bottle to mix contents and pour onto the cloth
   around the large bottle.

ole can be used wet of after solution has dried. However, when dry
te sugar - potassium chlorate mixture is sensitive to spark or flame.

)Throw or launch bottle. When bottle breaks against hard surface,
   the fuel will ignite.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

EED FLAME FUELS -- The white of any egg can be used to gel gasoline
                     for use as a flame fuel which will adhere to
                    target surface.
