Book Reviews of Improvised Munitions
Book Review: Inaccurate, but with practice you can work out all the bugs
Summary: 2 Stars
1) Supposed to contain recipes "safer" than the anarchist cookbook - never read it(edit: meant, that at the time I wrote this review I haven't read the ACbook yet, though now I have, but this review is correct, I read a copy of TM-31 before reviewing), but if this were true we wouldn't have anarchists anymore. Goes over some basic primaries, some of the recipes leads to unstable products, and mislabels them as high explosive
2)Could go over more third world chemical sources
3) Expanding on number 1, definitely could use more modern recipes
However that said, its a pretty good book considering it's meant for untrained army operatives in the 1960's. Though outdated in today's terms, with the right amount of tinkering you can modify and perfect the methods in the book.
Summary of Improvised Munitions
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.Strategy Books
