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."

|
||
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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
)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.
|
||
|

|
||
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.
