Book Reviews of Boobytraps FM 5-31
Book Review: Boobytraps for the well armed
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a DoD publication that assumes you have access to military munitions. If you don't have access to C-4, RDX, Claymores, satchel charges and the like, it will be hard to make full use of this book. If you don't have mil-grade explosives, study some chemestry and buy a book like "Improvised Munitions".
That said, it gives ideas on how to make use of various situations, e.g in buildings, roads, forests, etc. to slow and demoralize an enemy.
Book Review: Great to have, with Halloween coming up!
Summary: 5 Stars
Halloween's usually such a drag every year, with all those little monsters ringing the doorbell and playing pranks. Ever find yourself wishing they'd just stay out of your damn yard? Oh, sure, I've got a BB gun, but it's so hard to hit their piggy little eyes in the darkness. Stronger measures are called for.
I'll have some surprises waiting for 'em this year, boy! Oh, yeah.
Book Review: Booby Traps
Summary: 3 Stars
It was what I expected but a little dated 1969 but a good basic book on IEDs, things that went Boom in 1969 still go Boom in 2008. Good basic cookbook for teaching the basics of IEDs to a novice audience concerned with basic detecting, deterrence, and bomb searches. It was worth the price.Book Review: Fair treatment
Summary: 3 Stars
This book seems to concentrate more on the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) rather than the classic non-explosive traps. I had hoped more for the non-IED coverage but it is still an interesting collection with plenty of pictures to help illustrate the devices described.Book Review: Not bad
Summary: 3 Stars
This manual is a good buy. Most everything in this manual is viable and still able to be used. Some of the information is outdated due to technology advancements but it is still useful and a good read.
