(s we witness the dawn of a the new millenium so to have we witnessed the birth of a new era of$eaderless !esistance in the struggle for hite survival. *o longer do we look to politicians andlaw-makers for a solution, they have been bought, their lips are sealed with green paper3 they havegrown rich and powerful through sucking the life-blood of the crumbling ruin that estern#ivilization has become. 1owever their power has come at a price3 greed, corruption and sloth arethe adornments of their wealth.

revolution. e will cast off our wishful belief in democratic salvation, our votes will now be castwith bullets and bombs. *o longer will the yoke of race-denying, religious systems restrain us. (s inthe past we must rekindle a faith not in false, alien gods but in ourselves and our ability to struggleand overcome without prostrations before any 4osher world-deity. *o longer will we allow the 5ewsto live like parasites upon the body of our race. *o longer will we tolerate any 5ewish influence in

our political system, our legal system or our mass-media. *o longer will our children be taught thesuicidal and baseless dogma of egalitarianism and racial e2uality. *o longer will we allow dysgenic breeding to damage the health of our race. *o longer will we tolerate any non- hite colonizersliving and breeding among us. In this new era we fight for nothing less than the absolute physicalseparation of the hite race from all 5ews and non- hites. (long with this we will purge from ourmidst the traitorous and degenerate elements of our race. e demand swift and brutal 6ustice forthose who assisted in, or profited from, the murder of our !ace and the colonization of our lands bynon- hites. "ay their time be short upon the earth.

The purpose of this document is not to e plain the hys7 of armed struggle, any hite person witha pair of eyes can appreciate the desperate situation we are in as a !ace. (nyone can see that this

situation cannot be turned around at the ballot bo or through negotiation and compromise, it willend in tears and bloodshed. %f this there is really no doubt. estern civilization will fall in a similarway and for the same reasons as ancient +gypt, (ryan India, ancient &reece, !ome and every othernation which failed to protect its blood from the poisoning effects of race-mongrelization. Thesituation is simple, a violent struggle will come about and if it happens soon we will win. If we areunable to coalesce our movement into a fighting force capable of initiating and seizing victory inthis conflict within the ne t decade or so we will lose. To lose in this struggle means that the hiterace will be butchered by the sub-humans who have colonized our lands and our women andchildren will be brutally raped and murdered in the streets.

"y purpose here is to provide information on the 1ows7 of armed struggle. 1ow to select or

fabricate weapons useful in an armed struggle, how to manufacture, handle and employ e plosivesas part of an armed struggle, how to conduct a guerilla campaign and how to select targets accordingto their value to our movement.

#O!t o$ t%& "'o(&t# R)"i)'i(t(* C&''( )n t%& Lon& Wo'$

There are two paths to choose from for those of us who take up the struggle. The first option is whatI term the 8out of the closet8 activist. These individuals fight to the best of their abilities to spreadthe message of hite survival and rebirth to as many of our racial kin as possible. These hiteactivists use printed material, newspapers, radio, television and most notably the Internet to this end.These courageous individuals walk a dangerous line because the more effective they are the moreattention they draw to themselves from law enforcement and from various other enemyorganizations.

5ust about every ma6or city in the western world has a 81ate #rimes 9nit8 or a similar apparatuswhich works as a liaison between 5ewish interests and the police. These agencies work to identifyand build dossiers on hite activists who are at work in the area. Their ultimate aim is to infiltrateany hite activist group in order to:

- &ather incriminating evidence against its members



4

- iscover connections to other groups for further investigation

- 9ndermine, discredit and destroy these groups

9ndercover agents of these units will attend meetings and rallies held by racial activists and

information such as names and descriptions of individual members will be obtained. The 1ate#rimes 9nit will also collect literature, posters and other materials distributed by activists. Thesematerials will be analyzed for fingerprint evidence in order to begin to identify the members of thegroup. These fingerprints will be added to the files which law enforcement keeps on those involvedin racial activism.

The ne t step in the work of the 1ate #rimes 9nit is to infiltrate the group in order to gatherevidence of the commission of any crimes or any conspiracy to commit crimes by the group. Thiswork is usually done by a lone agent but the use of two or even more infiltrators is not unheard of.

If no evidence of criminality is at first obtained the infiltrator will begin to try to push the group to

commit a serious or violent crime of some sort or to provide him or her with the means to commitsome violent crime and to help plan it. If members of the group are foolish enough to trust theinfiltrator they will soon find themselves in 6ail. This type of activity by law enforcement is welldocumented. The 8Forth !eich 'kinheads8 case in $os (ngeles, the infiltration of 8#ombat ;<8 in+ngland and the &rant /ristoe affair involving the 81eritage Front8 in #anada are good e amples of the use of an 8agent-provocateur8 to destroy hite *ationalist movements and to imprison hitemen and women.

1ow is this process of law enforcement infiltration and sabotage to be prevented7 It can be summedup with one simple rule= No on& +%o i( )n op&n )"tivi(t* ,no+n to t%& & i) )n to po'i"&*(%o!' &v&r &v&n &nt&rt)in t%& i &) o$ invo'vin t%& (&'v&( in )r & (tr! '&. ( real separation

must e ist between those who wage a war of words and those who let actions speak for them.henever the open hite activist is approached about the idea of armed struggle, he must e plainthat it is his own personal choice to re6ect violence but that he also does not condemn those who takeup armed struggle in defense of their people. In this way we can neutralize law enforcement use ofinfiltrators against us.

5ust as the 8out of the closet8 hite *ationalist must be strictly non-violent, those who chooseviolent struggle must keep their identities and beliefs secret from all e cept those directly involvedin the movement. This will be a difficult task, made increasingly difficult the more people areinvolved. For this reason we must employ an organizational structure of small 8cells8. +ach of thesecells will have only a few members and will be capable of taking action independently of the others.

%nly long time ac2uaintances, with history of trustworthiness, should make up a cell. ( handful ofdedicated soldiers >no more than ? or @A can create an impenetrable, cohesive and effective weaponagainst the tyranny we face. ( single, highly motivated, individual or 8$one olf8 can also takeaction on his own. This one-person cell will obviously be impenetrable to law enforcement, however the $one olf may by limited in the scale of attacks he can mount. It is precisely this type of cellstructured resistance movement which the traitorous, power-whores who sit in the seat ofgovernment fear most. They have no idea how to deal with this type of movement, it has nohierarchical power structure so it cannot be toppled and its cells are too small and too may toinfiltrate.

+very person who enters this movement must understand that we are a n)tion in &/i'&* waiting toassume power in the vacuum which will be created by the fall of estern civilization.

#itizens of this nation in e ile are obligated to be:

(ware - The citizenry must educate themselves to a reasonable level on all the issues of concern tohite survival. %ur enemies must never be able to ask 8 hy78 without response.

(rmed - The citizenry must posses weapons suitable for guerilla warfare and understand and how touse them with reasonable proficiency. In some circumstances this will be difficult but it is absolutelyimperative that the citizenry of our nation be capable of seizing power when the time comes.

Prepared - The citizenry must be both physically and psychologically fit for the coming conflict. It isessential that the citizenry train themselves, like soldiers, and be physically able to fight, performheavy work and resist e haustion. (lso, like soldiers, it is essential for the citizenry to purge anyfeelings of sympathy toward our enemies or guilt over the actions which we must take. Feeling of

this nature are a symptom of the greatest evil possible in natureBs design = +&),n&(( .

Contro' o$ In$or )tion

1ercule Poirot, 'herlock 1olmes and $t. #olombo are fictional characters, e2ually fictional is theconcept that police detectives solve crimes by applying deductive reasoning to the clues of the case.#ertainly crime-scene evidence and eye-witnesses are of great importance in police work but whenone e amines the reality of criminal investigations it becomes apparent that without informants,8rats8, and confessions the vast ma6ority of crimes would go unsolved.

Police routinely offer cash rewards and set up 8hotlines8 to entice the ac2uaintances of criminals tocome forward. %nce police have a suspect in mind they will attempt to interrogate everyone aroundhim, friends, co-workers, family members. ith the use of threats, lies and deceit the police areusually successful in e tracting information from these sources. Friends and co-workers will be toldthat they have been implicated in the crime by the suspect and will be charged along with him unlessthey tell their side of the story. Family member will be told that the suspect has confessed or thatevidence proving his guilt e ists and that the police want to act in his 8best interests8 and thetestimony of family members would allow him to 8get the help he needs8. The suspectCs spouse orintimate partner will be told that during the course of their investigation the police have discoveredevidence of the suspectCs infidelity in an attempt to break the uni2ue protective feelings developed inan intimate relationship.

#ontrol of information thus becomes the most vital element in the security of our movement.Information is more valuable than any material resource, it can make you rich or it can send you tothe gallows. +ven the slightest leak can provide investigators a new lead and they are tenaciousespecially when confronted with a difficult case. e must assure that no piece of information, nomatter how seemingly irrelevant, is transformed from our secret into a law-enforcement resource.1ow can secrets be kept7 1ow can information be controlled7 /en Franklin once said 8Three mencan keep a secret, if two of them are deadD8= this is a realistic assessment. e all have our ownsecrets, a dark deed committed alone, a childhood indiscretion, or a act of foolishness in our pastwhich we shall never reveal to the world. These personal secrets are given a level of protection by us

that can never be e2ualed by the swearing and blood-oaths which protect communal secrets. Thetruth will come out eventually in nearly every case, the best we can do for our communal secrets isto prolong their revelation for as long as possible. 1ere are some points to consider in the control ofinformation.

- 'hare no secret which does not have to be shared. In military terminology this is referred to as the8need to know8 and is applied so that each individual is given only enough information to performthe mission re2uired.

- hen confronted by law enforcement offer absolutely no information. !emember these fivewords: 8I have nothing to say8. 4now your rights. "ake no statement either written or verbal.

emand to see a lawyer immediately. o not submit to any voluntary search of your person, property, vehicle or residence. o not waive any of your rights or voluntarily allow them to beviolated. The decisions you make when dealing with law enforcement are deadly serious, make nomistakes.

- o not discuss any aspect of your guerrilla activities on communication systems which are notsecure. 'uch systems include, telephones, cellular phones, fa es and e-mail. +ven secure systems,such as digitally encrypted cellular phones and e-mail, should be used with great caution. hoknows what encryption /ig /rother really can or canCt break.

- +mploy the best encryption possible for computer files >including this oneA which deal withracialist ideas, revolutionary struggle, firearms and e plosives etc.

- 9se 8disinformation8 in order to confuse and deceive law enforcement.

- onBt discuss your belief in violent action with anyone who is not directly involved in our struggle.

Profess adherence to non-violence in public.

T%& 0o)'( O$ O!r Str! '&

e can identify four short and long term goals of our revolutionary struggle:

To &/)"&r1)t& &/i(tin r)"i)' t&n(ion( to t%& point +%&r& ) (it!)tion o$ op&n "on$'i"t &/i(t(1&t+&&n W%it&( )n non-W%it&(. e must also encourage violent racial conflict among thevarious non- hite races within our borders. e can place no goal higher because none of the otherscan be completed without it. %nly the violence and life-or-death imperative of an open racialconflict, a !ace ar, will rouse the ma6ority of our racial kin from their sleep. %nly racial conflict atthis level will drive home the fact that the idea of a peaceful and prosperous multi-racial state islunacy and only with the civil breakdown during a violent racial conflict will we gain theopportunity to proceed with the rest of our program. %ur strategy must be to make all of theemerging multi-racial states as ungovernable as possible. $ife must become 2uite a bit moremiserable before 85oe si -pack8 and 85ane ta -payer8 will get off the fence. %ur goal is to shake thatfence so hard that the issues become 2uite clear to all of our racial kin. e must immediately beginto make it clear to the world that non- hites are not welcome in our territory and will eventuallyface forced deportation or death at the hands of our growing movement. %ur lands must no longer



7

be seen as safe havens for the e crement of the world but as places of great danger for non- hitecolonizers.

The use selective assassination, arson attacks, bombings, sabotage and vandalism against non-hites must be employed with the goal of creating a ma imum amount of animosity, outrage and

fear within the hearts of our enemies. 1igh profile targets, such as non- hite entertainers, sportsfigures, religious and political leaders must be targeted for selective assassination. *on- hites mustalso be attacked anywhere they can be stuck in large numbers, such as in high-rise apartments,subways, shopping malls or packed nightclubs in order to produce ma imum causalities. Thesymbols of the non- hite presence on our land3 churches, temples, "os2ues, businesses and

political institutions must be considered valuable targets as well. The idea is to drive them into thestreets in outrage, to force them to retaliate. /ecause our movement is underground and leaderlessthey will be unable to strike back against us directly so there rage will be leveled against hitesociety in general and law enforcement and authority figures in particular.

It will also be necessary to do our best to e ploit the tribal resentments and ethnic hatreds which the

various non- hite groups within our borders harbor for each other. 'ome good e amples whereviolence has occurred in western nations involving rival non- hite groups include the conflicts between 1indus and "uslims >especially strong between Pakistanis and IndiansA, 'ikhs and"uslims, 'omalis and +thiopians, /lacks and 4oreans >9.'.A, /lacks and 1ispanics >9.'.A 4oreansand #hinese, 5apanese and most other (sians and of course the 5ews and 6ust about everybody else.In order to successfully use these issues to our advantage the operative must research and understandthe origins and issues at hand in the various conflicts. I will make no attempt here to try to e plainany of these conflicts as that would be far beyond the scope of this work.

It is essential to understand that all of our goals are anti-5ewishin nature.

e must attack 5ewish power wherever it e ists and at all levels. %ur focus must be placed uponhigh-profile 5ewish influence in government, big-business, the mass-media and entertainment.

estruction of high level 5ewish targets will have a great propaganda effect and will be a boost tothe morale of our fighters. It is of great importance to demonstrate to our movement that it is

possible to attack and crush high level 5ewish power. %f secondary importance will be low level

5ewish targets such as individuals of only local importance, 'ynagogues, 5ewish owned small business and other symbols of 5ewish power. !emember that, because of their power and influence,any attack upon a 5ewish target will receive national if not international media attention.

must be placed high on our target list. This would include any and all individuals involved informing policy, the services provided by government and any buildings or other physical property.(ll of the present day governments of hite nations must be discredited and toppled. In most caseseven the constitutional documents which give them legitimacy must be re6ected.

Individuals in decision making positions in government should be targeted for selectiveassassination. Those most outspoken in the campaign to rob our children of a future should be placed at the top of the list, however, 6ust about any high ranking official in government will make adeserving target. %nly those tiny fraction of government officials who have fought against ourdestruction should be e empted. (ny successes in this campaign will have a positive propagandaeffect in favor of our movement.

'triking the symbols and services of government which the average citizen associates withlegitimacy and power is part of our campaign to break down the rule of present government./uildings and monuments symbolic of our present governments or the sick ideologies which theyserve must be defaced, vandalized or destroyed. The services we will target include, the military, law

enforcement, electrical power generation and delivery, food supplies, fuel supplies, electroniccommunications, ta collection, postal services, roads, railways, airports, shipping etc. isruptionand denial of these services will both discredit the effectiveness of present government and hinderthem in their war against the hite race. hen conducting attacks against government every effortmust be made to avoid casualties among low-level hite employees.

THE RESISTANCE ARSENAL

Fir&)r (

%ne can easily become bewildered by the sheer number of different firearms being produced andmarketed today. I have attempted to provide an overview of the categories of firearms which will beof use to the insurgent hite separatist and then go into specifics of the action types, effectiveness,availability of ammunition and practicality of specific weapon types.

'hotguns

!ifles

'ubmachineguns

'idearms

.)) !imfire eapons

S%ot !n(

If a person of limited means could only afford one weapon to defend his family and property Iwould recommend a ;) gauge semi-automatic or pump action shotgun for a number of reasons3

+ffectiveness -The ;) gauge is really unsurpassed for close range lethality when loaded with any ofthe various buckshot loads. *umber ? buckshot is the best general purpose load, it contains )E

pro6ectiles of .)@ caliber each and will produce a four-foot-diameter killing pattern at ? yards,making each trigger pull nearly as lethal as the emptying of a full magazine from a submachinegun.This makes the combat shotgun suitable for any close to medium range combat situation, in built upareas, in dense forest or 6ungle and indoors. Powerful and versatile the combat shotgun is not onlycapable of inflicting devastating damage with buckshot at close range but is also reasonably accuratewith rifled slugs out to about ; yards. !ifled slugs are capable of penetrating wooden walls and

barriers, car bodies, body armor and can tear a basketball sized hole in a human target at @ yards.

Fle ibility -( myriad of specialized loads make the ;) gauge shotgun also unsurpassed in itsfle ibility. /uckshot, rifled slug, incendiary, e plosive, flechette, tear gas, oleoresincapsicum>pepper sprayA, flare, sabot, tracer and rubber low-lethality rounds are all beingcommercially produced. 'ee the "odified (mmunition section for instructions for the constructionof specialized ;) gauge loads. (nother advantage of the shotgun is the inability of investigators tolink a shotgun to a murder through pro6ectile analysis. This is because the smooth bore of theshotgun doesnCt leave any traceable marks on the pro6ectiles. 1owever a spent shell casing can belinked to a shotgun by studying the marks left on the primer by the firing pin and also by analyzingother marks left on the shell by the gun. The shotgunBs spread pattern can be analyzed and matched,with some reliability, to the crime scene evidence. This limited traceablity, coupled with the ;)gauge shotgunCs awesome lethality at close range, give the shotgun some potential as a weapon ofassassination.















10

Practicality -The ;) gauge shotgun is used worldwide for hunting, sport shooting and formilitaryGlaw enforcement purposes. The universal nature of the ;) gauge shotgun means thatammunition will be available and access to it will be relatively difficult for governments to control.(long with bolt-action rifles, shotguns will probably be among the last firearms to be banned byrepressive governments.

inchester ;H efender with pistol grip and <rnd tube magazine

!emington <E with synthetic stock and short barrel

*otes:

- %nly semi-automatic or pump-action models have any combat value. 1owever single shot ordouble barrel break-open type shotguns may be desired for selective assassination because they donBte6ect the spent shells, leaving little forensic evidence.

- Try to obtain a shotgun chambered for standard ) HG?8 as well as the more powerful H8and H ;G)8magnum shells.

- /e sure your shotgun has at least a five round tube magazine or better yet a seven or eight roundmagazine. 'ome shotguns on the market today have detachable bo magazines or revolving cylinder magazines, again be sure to choose one with high capacity.

- *ever purchase shells smaller than no. ? lead buckshot. $ead shotshells are numbered fromsmallest pro6ectiles *o.;) and ;; which are unsuitable for combat, downward through *o.; to

*o.) then // then through the numbered buckshot loads to buck, buck and buck. +achstep downward represents a load with fewer but larger pro6ectiles. 'teel shells are numbered a bitdifferently but lead should be chosen over steel if possible.

- It may be advisable to choose one of the more popular shotgun models, such as the !emington<E , !emington ;; , inchester ;) or ;H series, "ossberg @ or series etc. (ccessories





11

such as pistol grips, shell saddles, folding stocks and magazine e tensions are available for these andother popular models.

- 'ynthetic stocks should be chosen over wood for combat weapons. I like the feel and weight ofwood for hunting weapons but synthetics are stronger, more wear resistant and unaffected by

moisture.

- "any 6urisdictions outlaw any alteration of the barrel or stock of a weapon in order to make itmore compact or concealable. It is probably unwise to alter any legally purchased weapon by cuttingits barrel or stock. ( weapon procured on the black market and stored somewhere other than in yourresidence is best suited for such a purpose.

Ri$'&(

There are really only two general categories of rifle with which the guerrilla fighter needs concernhimself. The first of these is the long range or sniper rifle and the other is the so-called 8assaultrifle8.

Snip&r Ri$'&(

+ffectiveness - The long range killing power of the sniper rifle make it possibly the most fearsomeweapon in the insurgentCs arsenal. &iven the right terrain and e2uipment a single, well trained,sniper could hold down a whole platoon for several hours. The psychological effect of sniper attackson enemy troops is devastating to morale. +ven more significant is the use of the sniper rifle forselective assassination. ( dedicated hite revolutionary with a good rifle could, single-handedly,strike some very serious blows against our enemies. I have provided ballistic information for the

various rifle calibers, which could be used for sniping in the selective assassination section.

These weapons are capable of producing lethal wounds even at e tremely long range, they arecapable of penetrating buildings, body armor and even light vehicle armor when loaded with F"5>Full "etal 5acketA rounds. (ny good 2uality rifle with at least a ))8 barrel and chambered for oneof the full-length rifle cartridges can be put into service as a sniper rifle. 'emi-automatic or betteryet bolt action rifles should be chosen over pump or lever action for this purpose.

For the purposes of this discussion I will define the assault-rifle as a short barreled rifle >) 8 or lessAwith a semi-automatic or selective fire action and detachable bo magazine. eapons of this typehave their origins in II when the need for a street fighting weapon with more power and rangethan a submachinegun but lighter, handier and firing a smaller cartridge than the standard infantryrifle. The result of this need were various weapons including the 9.'. "; #arbine, &erman "P-??and later the (4-?E. (ll of these weapons use an intermediate cartridge, larger than the pistolcartridges used in most submachineguns but smaller than full-sized rifle cartridges.

+ffectiveness: -The assault-rifle is essential to any sustained guerrilla campaign though a small cellof resistance fighters could make do without them. These weapons have a firepower advantage overother small arms at medium to long range. The light weight, compact size and minimal recoil ofassault-rifles make them the weapon of choice for combat in urban, forest and 6ungle situations.$arge capacity detachable bo and drum magazines increase the firepower of the assault rifle andshould be obtained if possible. eapons with flash suppressors andGor bayonet mounts should bechosen over those without these features. The effectiveness of the assault-rifle may be improvedwith the addition of low magnification telescopic sights.

This class of weapons is sometimes referred to as assault pistols or machine pistols. These weaponsare generally compact, pistol caliber weapons with very short barrels. They are capable of very highrates of fully-automatic fire and are usually e2uipped with high capacity >) , H or even @ roundsAmagazines.

+ffectiveness - The submachinegun is intended for very close range combat and is considered by'. .(.T. teams to be ideal as an entry weapon. '"&s are most effective when employed inconfined spaces, indoors and in very dense forest and 6ungle settings.

The compact size and high rate of fire of these weapons gives them an edge at very close range andmakes them e cellent weapons of surprise and assassination.

"ost 6urisdictions worldwide outlaw the civilian ownership of '"&s, and in those areas where theyare still legal steps are being taken to ban them.

In the world of firearms, nothing is more contentious or tainted by misinformation than the sub6ectof the relative superiority of pistol and revolver models and cartridges. I will not attempt to resolvethis debate but will simply try to put it into the conte t of what is effective and practical in the worldof today. There are a vast array of pistol and revolver cartridges available today, so many in fact thatone can easily become confused. hat we must remember is that we are only concerned with thosecartridges capable of satisfactory stopping power and which are in widespread enough use bymilitaryGlaw enforcement to guarantee availability of ammunition.

+ffectiveness ( number of handgun cartridges e ist which are sufficiently powerful to class themas acceptable for combat purposes. (mong these we include the .H< 'pecial .H@E "agnum, .?;"agnum .?? 'pecial and .?? magnum for revolvers3 and Lmm Parabellum, ; mm (uto, .?@ (#P, H<'uper, Lmm (+, .?; (+, Lmm "akarov, .H@E 'ig, Lmm PoliceG9ltra and .?

In a borderline category are the .H) (#P, .H< (#P and the @.Emm F*. /esides the ballisticcharacteristics, the firepower of a given handgun must be taken into consideration. This is where thesemi-automatic pistols have the revolvers beat. "ost modern combat pistols have magazinecapacities of from ; ) or even more rounds. This makes the si -shooters look like anti2ues bycomparison.

The handgun only has combat value in at very close range and in confined spaces, usually under Hfeet. +ven an e perienced handgunner would have difficulty making hits in a combat situation pastabout @ feet. The handgun is best suited as a weapon of surprise, assassination and of last resort,

but as a 9' combat veteran told me 8If you find yourself in real combat and all youCve got is a pistol, youCre in a world of shitD8 The small size of the handgun and its concealability are its realstrengths making it ideal for personal defense. 1andgun accessories such as laser sights and scopesare 6ust toys and are more of a hindrance than an advantage in real combat.

Practicality %f the revolver cartridges mentioned only the .H< 'pecial and the .H@E "agnum haveany practical value today. (lthough no longer in widespread use by police departments there are stilla awful lot of these revolvers around making it likely that ammunition will continue to be availablefor some time. !evolvers chambered for .H@E "agnum will also accept and fire the shorter .H<'pecial cartridge making them more practical than the standard .H< 'pecial revolvers. ( number ofgood 2uality revolvers are still being produced by manufacturers, your best bet is probably to stickwith one of the established names such as 'mith J esson, #olt or !uger. 1owever the limitedcapacity, slower reloading and decreasing use by law enforcement of revolvers leaves me skepticalof their combat value to the hite revolutionary. The revolver does, however, have a couple ofadvantages over semi-autos for selective assassination3 they cannot 6am and they do not e6ect theircartridge cases, thereby denying the firearms investigator any cartridge case evidence.



18

"oving to the semi-automatic pistol cartridges we can identify four which are practical due to theiroverwhelming use by law enforcementGmilitary. These are the Lmm Parabellum, ; mm (uto, .?@(#P, and the .? 'J . ( number of good 2uality pistols offered in single and double action areavailable in these calibers.

'J cartridge, most notably in the &lock ) , has e perienced a meteoric rise in popularity withinlaw enforcement circles with many police forces adopting it throughout *orth (merica and theworld.

The .)) long rifle >.)) $!A is the most widely used firearm cartridge in the world. The very low costof ammunition is the ma6or strength of .)) $! rifles and handguns.

The only use the hite resistance fighter will have for .)) $! weapons is as silenced tools ofassassination and sabotage. The .)) $! cartridge is ideally suited for use in a silenced, assassinationweapon due to these factors:

- It is subsonic when fired from most weapons. hen fired from a very tight, long barreled weaponit will be 6ust barely supersonic and will produce a brief sonic crack.

- Its muzzle blast is minimal and easily muffled with a well constructed silencer.

- The small size of the bullet itself offers us a secondary benefit: If a 6acketless hollow-point bullet isused, forensic firearms investigators will have a nearly impossible task in trying to match the bulletto the firearm which fired it with any certainty. >*ote: this will not prevent paid 8e pert8 witnessesfrom claiming otherwise.A

The .)) $! rifle can be silenced 2uite effectively with a very simple silencer. This type of weapon isideal for use as an assassination weapon to be fired from concealment at close to medium range.

The bow is among the oldest weapons in the world and even the latest, high-tech bows use the same basic principles of the earliest bows.

( heavy bladed knife with at least a @8 blade is an absolutely essential and universally available tool.Nou may choose either a single or double-edged blade, according to your preference but be sure itssharp and tough.

hen using a knife for sentry removal or selective assassination , approach the target from behind,grab his face and tilt it back. 'imultaneously stab the knife into the side of his neck and push inforward. This will sever the arteries and wind pipe. onBt attempt to slash across the throat as this isa more awkward motion and is much less effective. ( stabbing wound to a kidney is also veryeffective but may leave the target able to make 2uite a scene before dying. (pproach the target from

behind, grab the shoulder with one hand and stab the knife into the kidney area as deep as it will go

with the other hand. Turn the knife sharply it and rip it out. This will leave a gapping wound whichwill be nearly impossible to close.

The 9' (rmy F" );-;@ offers several sentry removal techni2ues with the combat knife. Thesetwo are the most suitable for selective assassination:

4idney 'tab, Throat #ut:







26

This techni2ue relies on a stab to the kidney to induce immediate shock. The kidney is relativelyaccessible and by inducing shock with such a stab, the operative has the time to cut the targetBsthroat. The operative completes his stalk and stabs the kidney by pulling the targetBs balance

backward and downward and inserts the knife upward against his weight. The target will possiblygasp at this point, but shock immediately follows. /y using the targetBs body weight that is falling

downward and turning, the operative e ecutes a cut across the front of the throat. This completelysevers the trachea and carotid arteries.

*ose Pinch, "outh &rab, Throat #ut:

In this techni2ue, completely pinch off the targetBs mouth and nose to prevent any outcry. Then cuthis throat or stab his subclavian artery. The danger with this techni2ue is that the target can resistuntil he is killed, although he cannot make a sound.



27

If it is necessary to strike the target from the front or if you are in a self-defense situation, keep theknife out of view until you plunge it into the enemy. 9se a backhand grip and hide the knife behindyour wrist. (t the last instant flip it to a front grip and thrust it upwards dead-center into the solar

ple us. Pull it down and turn it as you rip it out. The targetBs guts will spill out along with copiousamounts of blood. 1e will make very little sound if any but you will be soaked with blood.

(n icepick or a similar thrust-only type weapon can be used to produce wounds which will bleedmuch less than those inflicted by a knife. This is a definite advantage for selective assassinationwhere the operative must make a getaway without being spotted with bloodsoaked clothes. The

wounds are, however, not nearly as lethal as those produced by a knife. The kidney attack can bemade with an icepick but a direct thrust into the heart or brain will be more likely to produce a fatalwound.

( hammer can be used to produce lethal in6uries silently and almost completely bloodlessly. ( veryhard blow to the head with a standard claw-hammer its almost certain to kill, a follow up blow ortwo will certainly do the trick. (gain an attack from behind will be most effective, strike as hard asyou can.

( thin length of strong rope, cod, or even a belt can be used to make a garrote which can be usedfrom behind for silent and bloodless killing. $oops or handles are often added to the garrote in order

to increase the effectiveness of the attack. 'urprise is absolutely imperative when using one of theseweapons.

The following techni2ue is also form the 9' (rmy F" );-;@ :

head across the throat and the operative forcefully pulls the target backward as he turns his own body to place his hips in low against the hips of the target. The targetBs balance is already taken atthis point, and the garrote becomes crossed around the targetBs throat when the turn is made. Thetarget is thrown over the operativeBs shoulder and killed by strangling or breaking his neck.

There e ists a great deal of misinformation surrounding the topic of firearm silencers or lowsignature systems as they are more correctly termed by those in military circles. The main source ofmisinformation seems to be the depiction of silenced weapons as being whisper-2uiet by1ollywood. Those who know me can attest to the fact that I have built dozens of silencers in manydifferent designs over the years and I have found that it 6ust isnCt possible to produce a weaponwhich makes that slick 8ffffhhhhhpppD8 sound like in a 5ames /ond movie. It is possible, however,to significantly reduce the level of noise which a discharging firearm makes and, more importantly,change the sound enough that it wonCt be recognized as a firearm.

In order to effectively silence a firearm it is necessary to understand the four sources of noise whichoccur when a firearm is discharged:

"uzzle /last - This is the result of hot propellant gasses e iting the muzzle and contacting thecooler air. This sound can be very loud.



29

'onic #rack If a bullet has a muzzle velocity which is higher than the speed of sound >appro;, fpsA it will produce a sonic boom as it travels through the air. This sonic crack can make up asignificant part of firearm noise. In order for a silencer to be really effective, subsonic ammunitionmust be made or obtained for the weapon to be silenced. "any weapons, including most blowback-action pistols and '"&s and most gas-operated rifles, will function properly when using subsonic

ammo. 'ome weapons, including many recoil-operated pistols, have actions which will not fullycycle when firing the lower-powered, subsonic ammo. ( number of cartridges are subsonic in theirstandard form, including the .))$! .))short and the .?@ (#P. eapons using these cartridges can bemuch more easily and more reliably silenced.

(ction #ycling This is the sound of the physical movement of the firearmCs action as it isdischarged, the spent shell casing e6ected and a fresh shell loaded. 'emi and fully automaticweapons have heavy bolts which slam backward and spring forward upon discharge, making noisein the process. Fully-automatic, blowback weapons can produce 2uite a bit of noise 6ust from therapid cycling of their actions. *othing can be done to reduce the noise of a cycling action.

Target Impact The bullet striking its target will produce some impact sound. If it strikes somethinghard, such as metal or stone, 2uite a bit of noise will result. If, on the other hand, it strikes a softtarget >i.e. human fleshA the resultant noise will be minimal. /eyond improving your marksmanship,there is little that can be done to prevent target impact noise.

( silencer is, of course, only capable of diminishing the sound of muzzle blast. ( silencer worksvery much like a carCs muffler, it contains and dissipates the hot gasses from the e ploding

propellant preventing them from escaping into the cooler air and producing a loud muzzle blast. Ihave included some simple plans for building a firearm silencer which is 8field tested8 and which Iknow will work. This silencer can be easily and cheaply constructed and will perform nearly as wellas an e pensive silencer built in a machine shop.

The first step in building a silencer is to determine how to affi it to the weapon. The 6uncture between the muzzle and the silencer must be airtight, strong and fairly rigid. The best way toachieve this type of connection is to use a tap and die set to cut e ternal threading on the end of the

barrel to match internal threading on the silencer. This can be a difficult 6ob because barrel steel is2uite hard. It may be necessary to anneal the end of the barrel. This is done by using an o y-acetylene torch to briefly heat up the end of the barrel, and then let it cool slowly. /e sure not to heatthe steel to red-hot as it will retain some of its original hardness when it cools. ( threaded 6unction isair tight, rigid, and able to withstand the pressures of even the most powerful cartridges. Thismethod has the advantage of 2uick and easy installation or removal of the silencer. "any militarystyle weapons come standard with threaded barrels in order to accept flash suppressors,

compensators, bayonet lugs or rifle grenade launchers.( second method is the split-tube and hose clamp approach. ithout access to machine tools, thismay be the method chosen by most operatives. The barrel e tension tube, which makes up the coreof the silencer, is slotted to fit past the sights and over the barrel. The slot is then tightened up

behind the sights with a hose clamp of the appropriate size. ith this method it may be necessary touse electrical tape on the barrel in order to ensure an airtight seal. This method is recommended for .)) caliber weapons only, anything more powerful would blow the silencer right off the gun.

Fastening a silencer to a firearm in this way makes it very difficult to keep the silencer aligned withthe barrel. ( very straight wooden dowel or a drill rod, of the proper diameter, can be placed in the

barrel and through the silencer in order to make alignment simpler. %f course any 6arring or roughtreatment of the weapon may cause the alignment to be thrown out again. Installation and removal

of the silencer are also made difficult with this method.

I provi(& Si'&n"&r

The following instructions can be used to construct a simple, cheap and effective silencer for a .))$! rifle or pistol. This design can be adopted to function for other firearm calibers, however, athreaded barrelGsilencer 6unction is recommended for cartridges more powerful than .)) $!.

*e t, enlarge the holes using a HG; 8 drill bit.

9sing masking tape, mask off the end of the gun barrel and the first few inches. /e sure to keep thetape free of wrinkles to ensure a tight fit.

Place the drill rod down the barrel to keep the brake line aligned. Perfect alignment is e tremelyimportant. 'ometimes the drill rod will be a little too large to fit into the barrel. In this case, chuckthe drill rod into a drill and turn it down with a file or sandpaper, a little at a time, until it fits

perfectly.

rap glass mat around the end of the gun barrel and brake line three times. 'ecure it in place withrubber bands every half inch. The glass mat should be wrapped about two inches behind the sightand up to the first holes on the brake line.

*ow mi the resin. ( few spoonfuls will do. "i it two or three times hotter than the packagedirections.

/race the weapon in an upright position and dab the resin onto the glass mat with a brush. 4eepapplying resin until the mat is no longer white but becomes transparent from absorption of the resin.

(s soon as the resin starts to harden and becomes tacky, detach the brake line and fiberglass fromthe barrel. o this 2uickly before the resin hardens completely.

First use a razor blade to cut a notch behind the front sight so that the whole piece can be removed.Then push on the fiberglass to slide it off. o not pull it off from the other end as the alignment will

be thrown off.

(fter removal from the gun barrel, peel out the tape and allow it to finish hardening.

9se a sander, grinder or < sandpaper to smooth out the hardened rough surface.



32

*e t, grind the sides down about halfway, but do not grind past the point where the front sightmakes contact. #ut it down until the barrel fits snuggly and easily.

'tand the glassed brake line upright in a vise.

"i a small amount of resin and use an eyedropper to fill in any interior holes or air bubbles untilthe solid fiberglass is level with the steel tube end. This will give the 6unction between the brake lineand fiberglass coupling added strength. (cetone can be used to clean the eyedropper.

#ut the P0# tubing to the desired length. ( longer silencer will be necessary for more powerfulcartridges.

rill a large hole in the center of one end cap, making it large enough to fit on the fiberglass end tothe point where the front sight makes contact.

rill a series of HG; 8 holes in the bottom of the end cap.

rap masking tape around the end cap to cover the holes.

'tand the cap with the inside tube inserted into a vise. &et the cap level and straight with the brakeline.

#ut two dozen or so ;G)8 s2uares of fiberglass mat and fill the end cap with it up past the level of therow of holes.

"i resin and pour it over the cut matting to a point about ;G?8 above the holes and allow it to dry before removing the cap from the vise. onBt worry about any resin that leaks out around the base

hole. !esin fills the small holes, making the tube strong enough to withstand the muzzle blast.

hen the inside is hardened, turn the assembly over and fiberglass around the backside of the endcap for added strength. (void getting resin in the opening where the barrel fits.

Place the finished cap and inner tube on one end of the P0# tubing that has already been cut to size.#enter the brake line as you look in the open end of the P0#.

*ow drill a ;G<8 hole in three places around the tube about ;G?8 from the lip of the cap.

Take the brake line out and enlarge the holes in the cap to HG; 8

!eplace the brake line and tighten it down with three small wood screws.

Trim the brake line down until it e tends about ;G)8 beyond the P0# tube.

'harpen one end of the drill rod to a point and use it as a center-punch. 'tand the assembly up withthe solid end cap down. rop the drill rod down the brake line to get a true center mark.



33

9sing a drill bit slightly larger than the outside diameter of the brake line, remove the end cap anddrill the hole.

#ut a circle of ;G?8 thick rubber which fits snuggly into the end cap. This rubber swipe will help prevent any hot gasses from escaping even after many shot have been fired through it because

rubber tends to stretch and rip rather that have material blasted out of it by a gunshot. The hole willreseal itself after firing keeping the system nice and tight. !eplace this swipe whenever the bullethole becomes too large to contain gasses. This step will make a big difference, particularly in smallsilencers.

!eplace the cap on the open end of the P0# tube and drill three ;G<8 holes around the cap as beforefor wood screws.

The brake line should push into and slightly stretch the rubber swipe. The swipe should not stick out past the face of the cap. &rind off the end of the brake line to get a perfect fit.

9nfold sections of steel wool and roll into long strands.

(pply white lithium grease to each strand before feeding them into the silencer tube in a circularmotion. The white grease helps to cool the hot gasses of the muzzle blast, thereby reducing theloudness of the gunshot. Pack the steel wool tight with a stick, continue this until the silencer tube iscompletely full.

!eplace the end cap with the three screws.

Paint the finished silencer flat black and attach it to your weapon. Proper alignment can be ensured by using a hose clamp around the barrel e tension behind the front sight. Test as described in the'ilenced .)) $! eapons.

This silencer can be counted on to function for over H rounds before it will be necessary to open itup and repack it with new steel wool and lithium grease.

ith gun-control hysteria running rampant throughout our hite nations, it is now essential that thehite *ationalist have a good understanding of how to successfully cache weapons for future use.



34

The operative should consider caching all weapons which are not going to be put into immediateuse. eapons which have been used in an attack and pose a risk due to forensic evidence should also

be either altered to change their characteristics >see Forensic Firearms +vidence A or cached.

'ections of ?8, 8 or <8 ' ! >'anitary, rain, !efuseA pipe will make e cellent cache tubes. This

type of tubing isnBt cheap but is often left lying around at construction sites, ready to be 8liberated8./e sure to use tubing with heavy wall thickness, at least HG<8. #ut the tubing to about 8 in length,this will allow enough room for all but the longest rifles. !emember that a cache tube may have to

be reused for different weapons so donBt size the tube to fit a specific weapon. 'lip-on type end capsare the best choice for sealing up the tube, avoid threaded caps or plugs as they are more e pensiveand tend to get fouled up with dirt, making them difficult to reopen after recovery of the cache.

9sing epo y or P0# cement, permanently seal up one end with an endcap and test to be sure the seal is airtight. This is best done by placingthe tube into water, sealed end down, and looking for leaks.

The ne t step is to prepare theweapons for caching. It isimportant to givethe weapons athorough coatingwith some type of thick, rust-

preventative grease.There is some

divergence of opinion on 6ust what type to use but I would suggest that 6ust about anytype of thick grease will do the 6ob if the cache is for a short to mediumduration >;-E yearsA. onBt be tempted to apply the grease too thickly, athin coating will do 6ust fine and will be "9#1 easier to remove later>anyone whoBs e perienced trying to remove grease from a cachedweapon knows what I meanDA. #are must be taken with telescopic orlaser sights not to get grease into the optics or electronics. 4eep thelens caps on and wrap the scope or laser with plastic bags and tape

before applying grease to the weapon. onBt remove the scope from theweapon because it may be impossible for you to re-zero it back in later.

/atteries should be removed from lasers before caching. (voiddisassembling weapons if possible as some small parts may becomelost in the process. /e sure that ammunition is not e posed to contact with grease or oil as they can

penetrate into the cartridge and make the ammunition useless. 'eal ammunition into airtightcontainers or 8ziplock8 bags to reduce deterioration.

'ilica gel can be added to the tube, along with the weapons, 6ust before sealing as a further rust- preventative measure. This step is not really necessary unless a very long-term cache is considered.





35

The tube is now sealed up with the other endcap. This can be done by either applying greaseto the inside walls of the end cap and sliding itinto place or by permanently cementing the

end cap on. The cap should be cemented if a very long term >; -H yearsA cache is being consideredor a very hostile environment, such as underwater or in a swamp, is chosen for the cache.

Nou are now ready to chose a location to place the cache. ( soil auger will be necessary if youintend to bury your cache tube underground. ( manual soil auger is the best way to dig a verticalhole for the cache tube. 'oil augers are used to dig fence post holes and are sold in 8- ;)8 models.'oil augers are connected to a turning handle on top with a length of HG?8 pipe. The device will digdown to a depth of about four feet. (t this depth, you will have to add a three foot e tension to the

pipe in order to dig down deep enough to bury a 8 tube one foot underground. onBt even consider burying your cache horizontally, it presents too large a target for metal detectors. hen buriedunderground, a cache tube will be nearly impossible to remove as the soil settles in around it. Forthis reason be sure that the permanently sealed end of the tube is place down into the hole. In thisway you can access, remove or replace weapons in the tube without removing it from the ground.

/e sure to place your cache at 2uite a distance from your residence or retreat. (t ; feet distanceany searchers must cover H;,? s2uare feet in order to conduct a thorough search, not a difficulttask with modern metal detectors. (t ) feet the area become ;)@, s2uare feet, still not aninsurmountable task with the latest e2uipment and a dedicated team. "ove out to ; feet and thearea becomes H.;? million s2uare feet= almost E; acresDD If the operative was to scatter old nuts,

bolts, nails and other pieces of scrap metal throughout this area, even a very dedicated team withunlimited time and monetary resources would soon tire of false readings and move on to an easiercase. ( great place to hide a cache is right in the middle of a little-used rural dirt road. This way youcan get to your cache 2uickly and easily while still having it located a great distance from yourresidence. In this case be sure to watch for any upcoming roadwork in the area as some constructionworker may turn up your cache.

'ome other good locations for your cache include3 in grain bins and silos, piles of coal, gravel,firewood or boards, under pig pens and anywhere else that presents great difficulty to searchers.

'ome of you will recognize these simple, improvised firearm, designs from the F" H;-);Improvised "unitions 1andbook. I have added some ideas to make the instructions easier to followand the final product safer. I have also provided some drawings which detail the finished product.The simplicity of this design was likely the key factor in its being included in the F" H;-); ,however it has some serious drawbacks. It is very dangerous in that it is prone to accidentaldischarge upon dropping or other impact. It has no safety and the firing pin is held in place with onlythe forward pressure of the elastic upon the hammer. If the pipe plug is not tightened down farenough the backward movement of the fired cartridge could push and e6ect the firing pin at high

speed into the shooterCs eye. The potential for in6ury increases further with the possibility of aruptured primer. This occurs when the firing pin pierces the primer allowing the propellant gassesthe vent out of the back of the cartridge3 in the case of this firearm design a ruptured primer wouldforce the firing pin out at very high speed into the face of the shooter. ith caution these risks can

be reduced. !emember these precautions3

- (lways be sure the pipe plug is tightened until it contacts the back of the cartridge when loading,allowing no room for backward movement of the cartridge.

- /e sure that the elastic tension upon the hammer is not too e cessive, 6ust enough to reliably firethe weapon.

I have e perimented e tensively with improvised firearms and have produced a number offunctioning weapons including some magazine-fed semi and fully automatic models with rifled

barrels. The plans for these are much too comple and the tools and skills re2uired prevent me fromincluding them in this work as they can in no way be considered 8improvised8 even though they arehomemade. I have however, included plans for an improved version of the simple pipe gun whichhas a trigger-like mechanism, a simple safety and can be built with a bolt-action design, allowing

faster and simpler reloading.

This design can be adapted to fire 6ust about any cartridge the operative chooses, bearing in mind there2uirement for stronger materials if very powerful loads are used.

#onstruction:

( barrel section can be made from a length of threaded pipe which has an internal diameter which ise2ual to the diameter of the bullet to be fired. The bullet section should fit snuggly into the barrel butthe cartridge case should not. (s always this pipe should be inspected for flaws and cracks. #ut this

pipe to the desired length leaving one threaded end. The threaded end will be the chamber and theother end the muzzle.

The barrel must ne t be chambered for the cartridge to be used. 9se a drill bit which has the sameoutside diameter as the cartridge case. 9se this bit and drill into the chamber end of the barrel to adepth e2ual to the length of the cartridge case. 9se a cartridge as a gauge3 rimless cartridges shouldfit into the chamber right up to the base of the cartridge, rimmed cartridges should fit into thechamber until the rim shoulders up against the end of the pipe.

( pipe adapter is re2uired which will adapt the barrel pipe to the receiver pipe. Pipe adapters areavailable which will couple 6ust about any pipe size with a pipe one size larger or smaller.

The chambered barrel should be tightly screwed into the adapter.

*e t a receiver pipe must be selected which will usually be one size larger than the barrel pipe andeither ?8 or 8 in length, depending on the length of the cartridge and threaded on each end. #heckthis pipe to be sure that a cartridge case can slide freely inside it. If it is too tight a file or length ofwooden dowel with sandpaper glued to it can be used to ream it out slightly.

#ut the loadingGe6ection port in the receiver pipe. This port should have dimensions slightly largerthan the cartridge to be used. 9se a cartridge to check that it can be loaded and unloaded throughthis port.



47

*e t the action slot should be cut. This slot should be cut in line with the loadingGe6ection port andshould be made slightly longer than the total length of the cartridge. This slot guides the movementof the cocking handle and should, therefore, be made as straight, even and smooth as possible andshould be wide enough for the cocking handle to move easily along its path.

The bolt for this weapon is made from a length of drill rod or similar material which has an outsidediameter slightly less than the inside diameter of the receiver pipe. First tightly screw an end cap, ofthe appropriate size, to the end of the receiver pipe. *e t place a compression spring, of sufficient

power, into the receiver tube and force it down as far as it will go with one end of the bolt rod. 9singa scribe, mark a line on the bolt rod where it meets the rearmost part of the loadingGe6ection port.This will be where the bolt must be cut off to allow the weapon to operate properly. *e t mark a

point on the bolt about ;G?8 up from the rearmost part of the action slot. This will be the point wherea hole is drilled to accept the cocking handle. !emove the rod and cut it at the marked line. If acenterfire cartridge is to be used file or grind this cut end of this rod to a shallow, dead-center pointas indicated in the diagram. For a rimfire cartridge, grind the bolt to look like a flathead screwdriver,then remove HG? of this point leaving one side with a protruding point as in the diagram. *e t drill a

hole at the point where the cocking handle will go. rill this hole HG? of the way through the rod. Ifyou have access to a tap and die you can use the appropriate drill bit which will allow tapping of thishole so that a threaded cocking handle can be used. %therwise simply use a drill bit of the samediameter as the cocking handle and affi it later with epo y. If epo y is used, the weapon cannot becleaned properly and a broken spring or firing pin will be difficult to replace.

The cocking handle can be made from a small drill bit or other small piece of steel rod. It shouldonly protrude from the weapon about ;G?8.

Place the bolt into the receiver and temporarily insert the cocking handle. Force the bolt back againstthe compression spring as far as it will go and mark a spot beside this point on the receiver ad6acent

to action slot. This will be the location for the 8#ocked8 position notch. Place a spent shell into thechamber and allow the bolt to be pushed forward slowly by the compression spring until it istouching the primer of the chambered case. "ark a point on the receiver beside the cocking handleand ad6acent to the action slot. This will be the location for the 8'afe8 position notch.

!emove the bolt and then drill holes at the point marked with a drill bit slightly larger than thediameter of the cocking handle.

*e t replace the bolt and affi the cocking handle, if epo y is to be used it can be applied now.

Tightly screw the receiver into the adapter.

'ome final fitting may be necessary to get this weapon to function reliably.

Test fire this weapon with the same caution as with other improvised firearms.

(lthough the internal pressures from the ? mm are 2uite low at ), psi >compared to ? , psifor most centerfire riflesA it is still wise to construct this weapon out of very strong materials. The

barrel should be constructed from seamless %" >drawn over mandrelA steel tubing. Nou may beable to scrounge this part from a scrap-yard but it is more likely that it will have to be purchasedfrom a steel supply store. If you cannot find %" tubing or if the price is outrageous, get thestrongest tubing available.

For the breech, scrounge or purchase a L8 long piece of )8 diameter heavy-walled steel pipe.'tandard-walled )8 pipe will not do for this application. hen purchasing this part, be sure tospecify heavy-walled )8 pipe. 1ave the shop cut the stock to specifications at use there reamer toclean up the cut. This will remove the sharp edge and burrs and leave a nice neat finish along the cutsurface.

The barrel of a standard issue "EL is ;?8 but the operative may want a barrel that is slightly longerfor increased range and accuracy.



52

'elect a piece of standard-weight steel pipe with a ;-;G)8 inside diameter. #heck to see that it is thecorrect diameter by pushing an empty ? mm case into the pipe. The empty case should fit snugglyinto the pipe if pushed firmly. Nou will later polish the bore so that the round drops in easily.

Test the two pipes by ensuring that the barrel piece >; 8 long ;-;G)8 diameterA will slide closely

inside the breech piece >L8 long )8 diameterA. It may be advisable to purchase both tubes at thesame time to be sure that they are of the correct size. This may, however, cause the metal shopemployee to ask some 2uestions which the operative will not want to answer honestly.

Nou will also need a piece of ;-;G)8 diameter pipe ;-;G)8 long. This can be cut and reamed at themetal shop as well.

The hose clamps will be used to affi the breech piece to the stock. The operative may re2uire larger or smaller hose clamps depending on the type of stock selected.

#onstruction:

Polish out the chamber end of the barrel pipe until the ? mm case will slip into it without anytrouble. 9se very fine emery paper for this step.

eld the HG?8 bolt on the other end of the barrel H-;G)8 up from the muzzle. /e sure to stand the boltout perpendicular to the barrel, and weld it securely all the way around.

The )8 washer should be dressed down slightly using a bench grinder until it fits into the weaponBs breech easily and evenly. ear a pair of leather gloves while grinding the washer and let it spinfreely against the grinding wheel. This will ensure even grinding and will allow the washer to fitsmoothly into the breech.

%nce the washer fitting is complete lay it on a large vise or anvil and place a @G; 8 machine-threadnut in the center hole, being sure it is flat on the down side. 0ery carefully braze the nut into thecenter of the washer. /e especially careful to protect the nutBs threads and to maintain its centeralignment. This nut will eventually retain the firing pin, allowing ad6ustment of the pin in and out.

$ay the small ;-;G)8 long ring of ;-;G)8 pipe on the washer carefully and braze the two togetherevenly. The center hole of the washer must lay e actly in the center of the ring. /raze them all intoone solid mass, again paying close attention to preserving the nutBs threads in the center of thewasher.

9sing a ;HG ? drill bit, make three opposing holes through the breech piece HG?8 from the rear of the piece. Tap them with a ;G? )< tap. Try the new holes with the (llen screws, but do not set them permanently yet.

'lide the washer, with nut and ;-;G)8 ring attached, into the breech pipe and tighten down the three(llen screws to mark the breech block ring inside. ithdraw the ring and drill shallow craters at the

places marked. !eplace the ring again, this time tightening the (llen screws and securing it solidlyinto the main breech piece. Tor2ue down the (llen screws as securely as possible. 'ome of themmight break during this process.



53

"aking the ad6ustable firing pin is the only part of this pro6ect which re2uires any real machining.9sing a hacksaw, cut the head off of the bolt and carefully grind the cut end flat.

*e t, carefully wrap tape around the end of the bolt to protect the threads. #huck the bolt, tape endfirst, into a ;G)8 drill. This drill is about to become an improvised lathe with which the operative can

turn the bolt into a firing pin. #lamp the drill into a vise or tie it securely to a tabletop.

Turn the drill on, rotating the bolt shaft. 9sing a ?8 fine flat file, work the bolt down to a fine pindiameter of about ;G; 8 wide. #ut the pin back only HG<8 from the end of the bolt. hen the pin isthe correct diameter, put a sharply beveled point on it.

Take the pin out of the drill, remove the tape, and cut a shallow screwdriver slot on the opposite endwith a hacksaw. The ad6ustable firing pin is now complete and ready to be screwed into the breech

block piece. 'et it in the block so that it barely protrudes through the washer and nut. If it is set toolong it will bend or break, if it is too short it will fail to fire the round.

'ecure the breech piece with firing pin installed, to the rifle stock using three hose clamps. (lthoughthe recoil from the weapon is more of a gentle nudge than a sharp kick, it is still strong enough toknock the breech piece loose from the hose clamps. "ake sure that the three hose clamps areinstalled very tightly.

This is a very dangerous and powerful weapon and the same caution must be taken in test firing it asis used for testing the improvised firearms, presented earlier. /e sure to use military rounds duringtest firing >if possibleA.

1ow to operate:

$oad the weapon and then, using the HG?8 bolt as a handle, slam the loaded barrel lock into the breech to discharge the weapon. This weapon produces very little noise upon firing and can be testfired in populated areas without much worry of alerting the authorities. The range of this weaponmay be greater than the operative would e pect, so use caution not to drop a practice round into your neighborsB pool.



54

If the firing pin has been ad6usted properly and the breech is tor2ued in securely, there should be no problems. 5ust be sure you havenBt cut any corners= this is a big, powerful weapon that can maimor kill you if things are not done right.

/urnish the final product with a wire brush wheel in your bench grinder, then apply a coat of flat black paint.

Mort)r(

The portable mortar has, over the last ; years, become an absolutely essential infantry weapon. Itcan be set up 2uickly, fired very rapidly and will drop rounds down at very high angles, makingdiscovery of the mortarBs position nearly impossible without modern electronic countermeasures. (llof these factors make the mortar a desirable weapon for hite resistance fighters. ith a little

practice the operator will be able to drop e plosive rounds onto targets from a safe distance with

great accuracy. The I!( has made use of a number of different improvised mortars, some of themvery large, proving that it is not beyond the means of dedicated guerrillas to produce and deploy thistype of weapon. The mortar system I will present is relatively cheap and easy to build, is highly

portable and will perform nearly as well as a comparable military mortar. (mmunition for theimprovised mortar is 2uite simple to produce with 6ust simple home workshop tools, reusable

practice rounds can be produced3 allowing the resistance fighter to gain valuable practice with themortar.



55

"ost modern mortars use unrifled steel tubing for their barrels, meaning that their design is really2uite simple. (s with any weapon system, high-2uality %" tubing should be used to produce thisweapon. "ortar tubes can be constructed from H8 tubing in 6ust about any length from ;<8 up toseveral feet. 'horter length makes for a lighter, more portable mortar but the sacrifice is range. (length of between H 8 - ??8 will yield the most favorable results. ( ? 8 long piece of H8 %"

tubing could cost as much as K;) new, which I think is a good price but others may not have theresources to spend in this way. (ttempt to scrounge or 8liberate8 a piece of this material= tryscrapyards and construction sites. If the operative is unable to locate %" tubing, simple steel

plumbing pipe will work since the pressures are not that high in this weapon.

If you choose to purchase the tubing, have the shop put threading on one end. In2uire about having acustom-made, solid steel end-cap made for the tube.This may cost a few bucks but it will be well worth it.Tell any curious shop employees that the parts are fora steel fence post pounder. If this solid steel end-cap

cannot be obtained, a simple, off the shelf, cast end-cap will work but may develop cracks after severalfirings of the weapon. hatever type of cap youobtain it will be necessary to drill a hole in the e actcenter of the cap. 9se a center punch and start with a@GH)8 pilot hole. Purchase a HG<8 machine bolt ?8 longand two machine thread nuts of the appropriate sizefor the bolt.

9sing a standard HG<8 )? die, cut threads from top to bottom on the bolt. #arefully sharpen the end of the

bolt to a beveled point. o not make a long, sharp point because it will break too easily. rill out the pilot hole in the tube cap to );G ?8. Thread with aHG<8 )? *F tap. /e very careful to thread the cap ina perfectly vertical manner. This is the most comple

part the improvised mortar. (n ad6ustable firing pin isre2uired for the mortar to function reliably. The firing

pin will be ad6usted so that it 6ust barely detonates thecap on the pro6ectile when it is dropped down the

barrel.

Place a locking nut on the back of the bolt. Thread the bolt through the cap with the pin e tending throughthe concave portion of the cap. + tend the point up

past the surface of the cap about ;G)8. This is a trial-and-error procedure that is best done with inertrounds containing a primer but no propellant. ropsufficient inert rounds till you are certain that the

firing pin protrudes up through the cap 6ust enough to detonate the primer and that it is centered properly.



56

9nscrew the cap off the tube. 9sing a camp stove, propane torch, or other heat source, melt abouttwo pounds of plumberBs lead containing at least @M tin. (fter the lead is li2uefied, pour it into theconcave portion of the mortar tube end cap. Pour it only into the bottom edge of the threaded portionof the cap, not up in the area where it will prevent the cap from being securely screwed to the mortar tube. This 2uantity of lead will warp when cooling but, in spite of this, will cushion the cap,

e tending its life considerably.

&ive the bolt firing pin a 2uick turn or two, loosening it as the lead hardens. (fter the assemblycools, tighten the buck nut down onto the back of the cap, securing it to the cap and lead buffer. It isimperative that the firing pin be ad6ustable in and out after the lead cools and that it be ad6usteddown so that the firing assembly reefs against the lead block.

$eading the cap will strengthen it, but after prolonged firing with heavier charges, the cap will stillcrack. It is best to make two or three e tra caps at the same time rather than waiting until the firstone fails during use and a replacement cap is unavailable.

%btain a ;@8 long piece of ;8 ;G?8 mild steel strapping. 9se a piece of tubing with the sameoutside diameter as the mortar tube, hammer the strapping into rounds that clasp tightly around thetube.

rill holes through the ends of the strapping and, using ;G)8 bolts, securely fasten the strap about;)8 down from the top of the upright mortar tube.

Purchase two pieces of HG?8 to ;8 diameter steel rod H 8 long, which will serve as bipod legs. eldor braze two ;G)8 washers to the top of each steel leg. !un the ;G)8 bolt used to secure the tubeclamp through the washers on the two legs. 'ince the legs have to move in and out a bit, it helps to

place a couple of flat washers ne t to the welded washers. Ideally, the legs should fle in and out so

that the tube can be angled up or down a bit.

These legs become an upright support for the mortar. The shooter can move them to provide morehorizontal distance as opposed to additional vertical distance when launching the pro6ectile. Thisarrangement is not very accurate, but it will function acceptably at ranges of ? -E yards. 'incethe blast radius of the anti-personnel mortar bombs is about H B, the shooter doesnBt have to have

pinpoint accuracy to be effective.



57

#onstructing mortar bombs is a bit more difficult, but shouldnBt be beyond the abilities of anyonewho puts theyBre mind to it. Purchase or 8liberate8 a )8 black, plumbing pipe nipple 8 long, two )8end caps, and a ?8 long HG?8 nipple. Nou will also need a ;G)8 fender washer, which conveniently is

6ust shy of )8 in diameter. (lso obtain a ;G?8 washer.

Find the e act center of one of the )8 end caps and drill a @GH)8 pilot hole through one cap. If a HG?8 ;?8 pipe tap is available, drill the center out to ;@G; 8. Thread the hole in the cap so that the ?8

HG?8 pipe can be screwed securely into the )8 end cap. (s an additional measure, braze the nipple topand bottom to the cap. This assembly must be e actly centered or it will misfire.

"easure down from the pipe cap ;-;G)8 on the threaded HG?8 nipple.orking only above this line, drill at least ten @G; 8 holes through the

pipe, perforating it thoroughly. These holes bleed off the propellant chargefrom a ;) gauge shotshell when it fires.

( ;) gauge shotshell will fit nicely into the end of the HG?8 nipple. ( small piece of electrical tape may be needed to bush the shell so that it does notfall out of the pipe during transport. 9se only shotshell primers to test themechanism. hen certain that the mechanism is working, graduate to

propellant and inert practice rounds.



58

Propellant should be H to grainsof /ullseye or1erco shotgun

powder or a

shotshell full of1odginsB Pyrode#T&. + act loadingwill depend on theweight of the

pro6ectile, thedistance the shooter wishes to fire and the 2uality of the tubing used for the mortar tube.

ummy rounds can be made by filling the pro6ectile body with ;-;G) lbs of sand or some otherconvenient filler. 'crew the cap on tightly and bush both end caps with electrical tape so that theround will fall straight down the barrel. ( full 8 long piece of )8 pipe should be used as the

pro6ectile body so that sufficient distance between contact surfaces holds the propellant tube > HG?8tube A rigidly in the center of the tube. %ff-center propellant tubes are prone to misfires. "isfireswill be a constant problem in the beginning. To correct these simply dump the round out of the tube,ad6ust the firing pin, change the end caps or straighten the HG?8 nipple on the round.

It will be necessary for the operative to test fire this weapon in order to work out the misfires andthen to gain shooting e perience. Paint your practice rounds red or silver to make them easier toretrieve and re-use. onBt even consider using this weapon in an actual attack until you have fired atleast ; practice rounds and can drop bombs on target after the second or third shot.

/uilding e plosive rounds is relatively straightforward. Impact detonating rounds are much too

dangerous for home manufacturers to attempt, therefore, I have provided instructions for buildingfused rounds charged with improvised #-? .

'tart with a length of dynamite fuse which will provide ;) seconds of burn time before detonation.

9sing epo y, secure a small ;G?8 washer inside a ;G)8 fender washer. Fortunately, the outsidediameter of the ;G?8 washer 6ust about matches the inside diameter of the )8 fender washer. (llowthe two to dry thoroughly.

Push the length of dynamite fuse through the ;G?8 hole and split it back about ;G)8. 'ecurely gluethese split halves onto the washer face. /e careful that no glue gets onto the internal powder train of

the fuse. #ut a match head from a strike-anywhere match and, using a little dab of contact cement or glue, fasten the match head into the center of the powder train. #rimp a S dynamite cap or animprovised blasting cap.

(fter securely fastening the bottom cap with the HG?8 pipe nipple attached, drop the fender washerand fuse in from the top of the pro6ectile body. The fuse and match head should be pointing straightdown the center of the propellant tube so that it can be reliably ignited by the blast of shotshell

propellant.

59

9sing epo y, secure the fender washer in place within the pro6ectile body. /e sure the epo y ishardened before continuing.

9sing a blunt wooden ob6ect, such as a tongue depressor, tamp a lightweight plastic bag into the pipe body. This is a difficult task, given the fuse and cap sticking back into the pipe center, but make

sure every corner is filled with the plastic bag. This plastic liner seals the chamber and keeps air andmoisture out of the powdered ) oni! nitr)t& , which is easily ruined by air or moisture.

#arefully tamp in layer after layer of tightly packed, washed ammonium nitrate into the tube. 4eeptrack of the amount so that the correct amount of *itromethane can be set aside for later use. (fterfiling with ammonium nitrate, seal the plastic bag and set the top end cap securely in place. "akesure that enough pressure is e erted on the fuse assembly, packing the powder into place. The forceof the firing blank tends to dislocate the washer and fuse. #ode the small plastic of *itromethaneand keep it with the round. 'hortly before use remove the top cap, open the bag, and pour in the

*itromethane. #harged rounds can be held several weeks in this ready state, but storage of this typeof ordinance is very dangerous.

;)-gauge propellant cartridges can be prepared ahead of time. !emove the shot and shot-cup fromthe cartridge and then push a thumb-tip-sized piece of cotton as wadding over the powder and secureit in place with a bit of glue.

/uilding a functioning, reliable mortar, complete with high e plosive rounds is not 2uite as easy asthis brief description would indicate.

(n e plosive is any solid, li2uid, or gas that when sub6ected to stimuli such as shock or heatundergoes a rapid chemical reaction and converts into gaseous form. This chemical reaction releasesheat and pressure e2ually in all directions. + plosives fall into three categories, low e plosives, highe plosives and primary e plosives according to the detonating velocity or speed at which thechemical reaction takes place as well as their role in the reaction. I recommend that the operative

read the 9' (rmy F" @-)@ , which is an e cellent resource of information on the handling andapplication of military and commercial e plosives.

Lo+ E/p'o(iv&(

$ow e plosives change from a solid to a gaseous state relatively slowly over a sustained period oftime >up to ;,H feet per secondA. These are generally the easiest e plosives to manufacture. Theeffect that occurs in low e plosives when they are ignited is called 8deflagration8 which is actually avery rapid burning rather than the 8detonation8 which occurs in high e plosives. $ow e plosives areusually ignited by a spark or flame. /ecause of the their slow burning e plosion they must beconfined in a strong container in order to produce a powerful blast. If ignited without propercontainment they produce flame and smoke but no e plosion.

$ow e plosives are really only effective against soft targets such as light buildings, unarmoredvehicles and, of course, personnel. + amples of low e plosives are /lack powder, 'mokeless

powder, and #hlorate powder.

Hi % E/p'o(iv&(

9nlike low e plosives, high e plosives undergo a 8detonation8 when initiated. This detonation is analmost instantaneous chemical reaction at a speed of between H, an )<, feet per second

depending on the type of e plosive. ( blasting cap or detonator is re2uired to initiate this reaction. (8low order8 detonation may occur when an insufficiently powerful detonator is used or when thee plosive mass is loose or degraded. #haracteristics of a 8low order8 detonation include relativelylittle blast, lots of smoke and little target damage.

1igh e plosives are essential for effective attacks on buildings, armored vehicles, bridges and mostother modern infrastructure. + amples of high e plosives are T*T, ynamite and #-?.

6ri )r3 E/p'o(iv&(:

Primary e plosives are highly sensitive compounds which are used in detonators and small arms primers. The are easily detonated by heat, spark, impact and friction. /ecause of this sensitivity theyare only used in small amounts, usually less than a gram, in detonators. This tiny amount ofe plosive is used to initiate a larger charge of less-sensitive e plosive, the 8base8 or booster charge,in a blasting cap. This base charge, in turn, has sufficient energy output to detonate the maine plosive charge or , in some cases, a secondary booster, if an e tremely insensitive e plosive >suchas (*F%A is used.

+ amples of primary e plosives are 1"T , lead azide and mercury fulminate.

"anufacturing e plosives is e tremely dangerous. 1omemade e plosives are far more sensitive andunpredictable than commercially available ones. %ne must approach the preparation and handling of e plosives with great care. 1ere is a list of some e2uipment you must have to make these operationsas safe as possible.

Potassium chlorate is an easily produced chemical, which is useful in the production of both low andhigh e plosives. The simplest method of production is conversion from calcium hypochlorite >1T1swimming pool chlorinatorA 1T1 is about @-percent calcium hypochlorite and is commerciallyavailable wherever swimming pool supplies are sold. There are a number of different poolchlorinators available but calcium hypochlorite is the only one we are interested in.

The 1T1 is converted into potassium chlorate by adding a potassium donor, which may be either potassium carbonate >potashA, potassium chloride >salt substituteA or potassium sulfate >often used asa garden fertilizerA. In the reaction which occurs, the calcium in the 1T1 will convert into either thecarbonate, chloride or sulfate, depending on what was used as the donor. (ll of these calcium

compounds are insoluble in water and will drop out of the solution in step H.- In a large Pyre or enameled steel pan, place ?@? grams >a ;-pound bagA of 1T1 and <? grams ofthe potassium donor.

- (dd boiling water, using 6ust enough to dissolve the powders completely.

- Place the pan on a heat source and boil until it reaches a specific gravity of ;.H >full charge in a battery hygrometerA. ( chalk-like substance will form and drop out of the li2uid.



74

- Filter the li2uid while it is still hot. iscard the solids in the filter. This is the calcium compoundmentioned earlier.

- (llow the solution to cool to room temperature. (s it cools, crystals of potassium chlorate will precipitate from the solution and can be filtered out.

- !eturn the li2uid to the heat source and repeat steps H to @ twice more to recover more chloratecrystals.

- #ombine all recovered crystals and dissolve them in a minimum amount of boiling water. Filterand allow to cool. This will remove most of the calcium and sodium contaminants.

- Powder the crystals very finely and allow them to dry on newspaper. %nce dry the potassiumchlorate will be ready to use.

If 1T1 is unavailable, common household bleach can also be used to produce potassium chlorate,

which can be e tracted through a process called fractional crystallization. The procedure is similarto that above.

- In a large Pyre or enameled steel pan, place one gallon of bleach and begin heating it to a low boil.

- %nce boiling add H grams of potassium chloride >salt substituteA

- #heck the solution being boiled with a hydrometer, and boil until you get a reading of ;.H. If usinga battery hydrometer, boil until you read a F9$$ charge.

- !emove the solution from the heat source and allow it to cool in a refrigerator until it falls to between room temperature and degrees #elsius.

- #rystals will form at this point, filter them out and save them.

- /oil the remaining solution again and cool as before. Filter and save the crystals.

- Take the crystals that have been saved, and mi them with distilled water in the following proportions: @ grams per ; milliliters distilled water. 1eat this solution until it boils and allow itto cool. Filter the solution and save the crystals that form upon cooling. These crystals should berelatively pure potassium chlorate.

as needed. This is due to the possibility of sodium or calcium contaminants remaining in thecrystals, which makes their storage life uncertain. #ommercial chlorates do not present this problemand e plosives made from them will remain reliable even after long storage.

The chlorate must be finely powdered to the consistency of flour in order to ensure positive

detonation. The hydrocarbon fuel must be evenly distributed throughout the chlorate powder. Thecompleted mi ture must be pressed in a block or stick press to the proper density of ;.H gramsGcc if potassium chlorate is used or ;.@ gramsGcc if sodium chlorate is used. It is important to do this pressing properly if optimum performance is to be obtained from the e plosive. (lthough the potassium chlorateG0aseline mi ture is touted as a plastic e plosive, it is still wise to do this.

( block or stick press, such as is covered in the Improvised Plastic + plosives section, will bere2uired. Nou may need to improvise a hydraulic addition to the press. ( pan heater may also be

built to make this task much easier.

The framework of the pan heater is made up from scrap wood to whatever size is re2uired. The pan

rests on the rim and has the bottom painted black to absorb the heat from the bulb. ( rheostat or power control may be used to vary the heat.

moisture.

H. Pour the melted fuel as evenly as possible over that crystals. The heat from the pan should causethe fuel to distribute itself throughout the chlorate, but a little stirring with a spatula may benecessary.

@. Place granules in the press and process as covered in the plastic e plosives section. *%T+: Ifsticks are being made, they could be pressed and packaged in thin P0# tubes. The ends may be

sealed with P0# end caps or dipped in wa . The e tra rigidity afforded by the tubes seems toincrease the reliability of detonation.

past few years. In fact, a fairly good e plosive can be made by simply soaking the re2uired amountof nitrobenzene into the uncrushed pellets. Theoretically, most li2uid hydrocarbon oils, such asgasoline or diesel, should work in this type of e plosive.

The primary problem is volatility. If the e plosive is sealed in an airtight container, as #%-%P sugarusually is, this ceases to really matter. ue to the to icity of the nitrobenzene, this is a good ideaanyway. N&v&r )''o+ t%i( 'i !i to to!"% 3o!r (,in )n onDt in%)'& it( v)por(.

(mmonium *itrate is arguably the single most important chemical in improvised e plosives production. It may be manipulated in various ways not only to form e plosives but also to be



80

converted into various other chemicals useful in this work. +ven if it werenCt so easy to procure >it iswidely available as a chemical fertilizerA, it would still be an invaluable material.

The most basic (* e plosive is called (*-F% >(mmonium *itrateGfuel oilA. (* fertilizer comes inthe form of prills >pelletsA that can be mi ed in a proportion of L M (* and ?M fuel oil to form (*-

F%. The only problem with (*-F% is that it re2uires a booster of about ; $/ of T*T or itse2uivalent to detonate. It is best if the booster is in the form of a short, s2uat cylinder, like a foodcan, rather than a stick.

(*-F% has been in commercial use as a blasting agent since the ;L@ s and remains in verywidespread use. It has found most covert use in car and truck bombs >i.e. %klahoma #ityA where it isused in very large 2uantities. ( cement mi er should be used to prepare large 2uantities of thise plosive.

Powdered (* in this mi ture will yield greater power however this will probably be limited to verysmall 2uantities as the time it would take to grind hundreds of pounds of (* into powder would be

prohibitive. If a bo of commercial laundry detergent is added to the mi >; $/ per ; lbs. of (*A,the performance of the e plosive can be substantially increased >as much as H MA. ) lbs. ofaluminum powder will increase power even more.

Pour the mi ture into charge containers, add the booster charges and seal. The larger the booster the better. ( @@-gallon charge container will re2uire about a ; $/ booster for positive function. If possible, place the booster as near to the center of the charge as possible. ( good, strong booster canaccelerate the detonation speed of the main charge substantially3 a weak booster can reduce it.

The (* must be powdered andthen all moisture driven out of it in an oven at low temperature before mi ing with the aluminum

powder and the finished e plosive must be protected from moisture. This e plosive should be not bestored for very long and should probably be used up soon after production. +ven the smallestamount of moisture in the (* will cause it to react with the aluminum to produce hydrogen gas.This can and has caused e plosions in canisters of this type of e plosive.

&uncotton >&#A was the first militarily useful high e plosive. It was used widely in the latenineteenth and early twentieth centuries both for demolitions and as a filler for torpedoes and navalmines. hen used wet it was very safe and insensitive, yet easily detonated using a priming chargeof dry &#. It fell out of use when T*T and picric acid became widely available, but wet &# slabswere used by the /ritish army for demolition purposes until late in II.

hile guncotton can be easily made by nitrating cotton with a mi ture of nitric and sulfuric acids,the resulting material is often unstable due to the difficulties involved in removing all the traceacids. #otton fibers are essentially tiny tubes that serve to trap the acids inside. Improperly purified&# can become e tremely dangerous with age, often resulting in spontaneous e plosion. hen &#was first discovered in ;<? , it aroused great interest as a replacement for gunpowder in blasting.(fter several factories in +urope e ploded due to improper purification, it was discarded for the ne tH years until a reliable method of purification was discovered.

hat follows is a simplified method for e tracting guncotton from common single-basedgunpowder, in which it is the primary component. The resulting material is of high power, e hibitingmore power when dry than wet.

ry &# may be compressed into pipe bombs or other ordinance for use as a low e plosive and will be many times more powerful than the original powder it was made from. In fact, if conditions areright, compressed dry guncotton can make the transition from deflagration to detonation very2uickly.

Procedure:

- Place ; pound of single-base powder into a 6ar and cover with about twice as much acetone. The powder will dissolve until the entire mass is a thick syrup resembling cold molasses.

- Fill a blender about half full of cold water and pour one 2uarter of the 6ellied powder into it. /lendat high speed for several minutes. ( course green material resembling fiberglass will float to the top.This is guncotton.

- If dry &# is desired, drain off as much of the water from the blender as possible. %perate the

blender on 8grind8 for several minutes, and use a plastic or wooden stirring rod to ensure that all ofthe &# is ground into a pulpy mass. The &# must be moist when ground. ry guncotton is sensitiveto shock and friction, so it would be e tremely dangerous to perform this step on dry &#.

- !emove the pulpy mass from the blender and dry as above.

- hen completely dry, the &# may be compressed into pellets or cartridges using an improvisedhydraulic press. The pellets may be given a 2uick dip in acetone to waterproof them. The acetoneconverts the outer layer of the &# into a form of celluloid, which is impervious to moisture. Thisouter shell will be a bit on the brittle side, and care must be taken to prevent it from being chipped.If damaged, moisture may enter the pellet and render it insensitive to initiation by a blasting cap. If

full sized cartridges are made, they may be enclosed inside a condom for their protection.

*otes: ry &# is sensitive to impact, friction, and sparks. In its pure state it is about as sensitive toimpact as mercury fulminate or lead azide. The reprocessed form is a bit less sensitive but stillshould be handled carefully. It will detonate when struck by a rifle bullet. $ikewise, e treme careshould be used when pressing it into pellets or cartridges. (ll compression should be done slowlyand carefully, using wooden and plastic molds.

Possibly the simplest initiator is what is know as a model rocketry match. This is a small wire with a blob of combustible material on the middle of it. It is design to be placed into the end of a modelrocket engine with both ends of the wire sticking out and then ignited by placing a current of L voltsthrough the wire. These matches are cheap and easy to use but you must make sure that the matchitself is in intimate contact with the powder charge of your bomb. 9sing a setup such as that used for the lightbulb s2uib will make the match more reliable. ( small model rocket engine, initiated withthis type of match, would also make a very positive initiator for any low e plosive bomb or for anincendiary device.

Co'')p(in Cir"!it

( collapsing circuit is a simple, cheap, and reliable delay that has seen long service with manyterrorist groups. This circuit is so simple that it can be built by 6ust about anyone= even if you donBthave any electronics skills.

(n electric relay is the heart of this delay mechanism. ( relay is basically an electromagnetic switch.#urrent from a battery flows through its coil and generates a magnetic field, which moves a fle iblecontact towards or away from a fi ed contact.

The two fi ed contacts are known as 8*ormally %pen8 >*%A or 8*ormally #losed8 >*#A. hen therelay is not energized, the moveable contact is positioned by spring tension against the *# contact.

hen the relay is energized, the moveable contact is drawn against the *% contact. %ne wire in thefiring circuit is attached to the *# contact lead3 the other is attached to the moveable contact lead>consult circuit drawingA. hen the relay is energized, the *# contacts are open and the firingcircuit is incomplete. hen the battery power degrades to the point where the magnetic coil can nolonger hold the moveable contact against spring pressure, it touches the *# contact, completes thecircuit, and fires the initiator.

The amount of time re2uired for this action to take place depends primarily on the ohmic resistanceof the relay coil and the type of battery used. #ertain batteries, such as those used in camera

photoflashes, have high voltage but can only sustain their level of power far a comparatively shortlength of time. Therefore, if one of these is used, the delay will be shorter. The more ohms a really israted for the longer the delay will be.

!egular flashlight batteries of the same voltage rating will hold the contacts open for a much longer period of time than the aforementioned type, and alkaline batteries will hold them longer still. 'o,the combination of parts is dependent on the length of delay re2uired. For a longer delay, use a relaywith a high ohmic resistance and a battery made to deliver its rated voltage for long periods. Forshorter delays, a relay with a low ohmic resistance and a battery of short current delivery is re2uired.

ith the proper combination, delays can be achieved ranging from about ;@ minutes to severalmonths. Its only drawback is that the accuracy is ballpark at best. epending on temperature, batterycondition, and other variables, the delay can swing as much as )@ percent or more either way. 9sean electronic timer if split-second accuracy is re2uired.

The voltage a relay is rated for can usually be e ceeded by up to @ M without burning the coil out.For instance, a -volt relay can use up to L volts safely. This will usually give a longer delay, but thisis dependent on the type of battery used. #onversely, if shorter delays are re2uired, the relay cansometimes be run at a lower voltage. Testing is re2uired to find out e actly how low it can go.

'horter delays can also be produced by inserting a resistor into one of the power leads of the relay.%nce again, some testing will be re2uired to determine the appro imate length of the delay. hendoing this testing start with the lowest resistor available and go up in increments until you reach thedesired length of time.

This type of delay can be built cheaply without the lamps and switches but they really make for asafe delay mechanism.

This is probably the simplest type of mechanical delays. ( clothespin switch is created by wiringeach 6aw of a regular wooden clothespin so that a circuit is completed when the clothespin is in theclosed position. The clothespin is then held open by wrapping its arms with solder wire. henspring tension from the clothespin stretches the wire enough, the 6aws close, completing the circuitand firing the bomb. The length of delay is determined by the thickness of the solder and the number of wraps used. + perimentation will allow you to determine the average length of delay. ( piece ofwooden dowel or a similar insulator can be used as an arming pin by placing it in the 6aws andremoving it to arm the device.

This type of delay uses a corrosive li2uid which eats its way through a barrier material and comesinto contact with a reactive substance, producing heat and flame needed for initiation. The mostcommonly used corrosive is concentrated sulfuric acid, which is readily available. The mostcommonly used reactive is a chlorate-based composition, such as potassium chlorate and sugar ormatch heads. The materials that have been used as barriers are many and varied. In the past,

materials such as paper, cardboard, copper sheet, rubber sheet >balloons, condoms, etc.A, gelatincapsules, even Ping-Pong balls.

The chemical delay I will present here uses a gelatin capsule barrier glued to the end of a tube ofsulfuric acid. It has the unfortunate shortcoming common to most chemical timers3 temperaturevariation. ( great deal of variation in delay times occurs at the low and high ends of normaltemperature.

for very long. &reat caution must be e ercised in transporting this type of chemical fuse.

In order to get this fuse to initiate an e plosive device it must be fitted into a short piece of tubingwith the reactive powder between it and the detonator. The detonator, obviously, must be of a non-electric type and will be plugged into the other end of the tubing.

arning: (s the acid erodes the gelatin membrane, it becomes thinner and thinner, and so the fuse becomes more and more sensitive to shock. %nce armed, this fuse must not be disturbed as the resultmay be instantaneous initiation. /omb s2uad personnel are aware of the hazards of attempting tomove or defuse this type of detonator and are unlikely to even make an attempt.

It is activated by crushing the upper portion of the tube, which breaksthe vial and allows the acid to come into contact with the thin rubber membrane and eat its waythrough to the reactive material. The small glass vial can be obtained from perfume samples, madefrom modified lightbulbs or purchased at those druggie 8head8 shops. hatever type of vial is used,its stopper must be well coated with wa in order to protect it from the acid.

C%& i")' M&"%)ni")' B&')3 F!(&This fuse is based on the same principle used in most military 8time pencils.8 ( striker or firing pinis restrained by a thin wire or line. This wire is wrapped at one point by a pad of absorbent material.( corrosive chemical is soaked into the pad and begins attacking the wire. (fter a period of time, thewire is unable to retain the load of the striker spring, breaks, and the striker impacts the primer. The

primer in turn ignites the detonator, which detonates the charge.



113

The corrosive chemical is usually contained within a small glass vial, which the user crushes toactivate the fuse. hile this makes for handy operation, it poses problems for the improviser. First, itre2uires the machining of a two-part tube - one end of a hard metal to support the springGfiringmechanism, and one of a soft metal, which may be crushed by the fingers and which must be wellsealed to prevent leakage. 'econd, the corrosive must be sealed into small, fragile glass vials that

must fit into the narrow tube. This may all be more than the average operative cares to go through toobtain a delay of this type, however the finished product is an accurate and reliable delaymechanism.

The basic design may be modified for use with different solvent or corrosive and wire combinations.The solvent can be carried in a small plastic s2ueeze bottle such as is used to dispense nasal spray.The fuse is activated by s2uirting the solvent through the arming port onto the absorbent pad.

The illustrated e ample was built from @G; 8 stainless steel tubing, but many different types oftubing or pipe >metal, plastic, etc.A may be used. The only alterations in the basic design will be dueto the dimensional differences in the tubing used.

This version of the fuse uses a li2uid solution of ferric chloride to corrode a copper restraining wire.This solution is readily available from electronics parts suppliers, where it is used to etch coppercircuit boards. It is 2uite cheap, about K;@ a gallon. The solution is soaked into the absorbent padand begins eating its way through the restraining wire. The length of time re2uired for breakage tooccur depends on the temperature, strength of the solution, and the thickness of the wire.

(s purchased, the ferric chloride is a saturated solution. This means that the water contains as muchferric chloride as it can hold. (dding water will weaken the solution and so e tend the time delay. (salways, test to determine the length of delay.

There are many commercial time pieces on the market today that may be modified for use aselectronic time-delay fuses. Travel alarms, countdown timers and digital alarm watches are the threemain types encountered. (ll are adapted using the same basic mechanism - an '#! >'ilicon#ontrolled !ectifierA switching circuit, although the construction details will vary slightly due to thedifferences in the physical form of the time piece.

The '#! is an electronic switch that may be closed by the tiny electric pulse generated by the alarm buzzer of the time piece. (n '#! has three prongs - power in >from the batteryA, power out >to thedetonatorA, and gate >to the alarm buzzerA. !efer to the drawing for details.

hen the time piece emits its pulse to the '#!Bs gate prong >(-;A, it closes the circuit, routing the power from the positive side of the battery to the detonator. The circuit drawing contains twooptimal accessories - a momentary switch >/A and a power lamp > A. These are not entirelynecessary, but they will enhance both the safety and ease of use of the fuse.

The momentary switch serves to cut the power from the battery to the '#!. This is necessary

because the '#! will not reopen until this power is cut, even though the pulse from the time piecehas been interrupted. (ny type of on-off switch may be used, but a momentary is easier to use and,usually, smaller.

The power lamp serves to indicate whether there is power flowing through the firing wires that leadto the detonator. It is very important to know whether the detonator is being connected to a live

power source, considering the conse2uences if it is >instant detonationA.

The source for these time pieces can be almost any type of variety store - supermarkets, drugstores,electronics hobbyist stores, or even auto parts stores. These units are produced very cheaply and can

be purchased for as little as K). It will be necessary in many cases to replace the batteries with fresh,

reliable ones.

$ets take a closer look at the three main types.

Travel (larm - These types are usually pretty small, about )8-H8 long and maybe ;G)8 thick. If smallcomponents are used, all of the additional circuitry >with the e ception of the firing batteryA can befit inside of the case. It functions like an alarm clock, so the current time of day as well as the alarmtime >detonationA desired must be set.

igital (larm atch - This is the smallest of the three and functions as the previous one does, i.e.,alarm clock fashion. ( wire is run from the alarm contact through the watch case to the '#!. The

hole in the case may be sealed if the watch is to work, and the short length of wire concealed under a piece of electricianBs tape. The '#! circuit must be housed separately, as there is no room in thewatch case to house the components.

#ountdown Timer - This is a modernized version of the old kitchen timer and is the best of the threeto use. It is compact but still large enough to house all of the circuitry including the firing battery. Itis also the simplest to set up.



116

The alarm contact varies with the type of time piece used. atches generally use two small metaltabs that press against a flat disc to produce the alarm sound. The travel alarms generally use thesame disc system, but the contacts are a pair of tiny brass springs. The countdown timer uses twowires to the buzzer, which may or may not be of the disc form.

%pen the case on the time piece and e pose the alarm buzzer. Test with a multimeter to find the positive contact on the buzzer. This is where the gate prong on the '#! is attached.

#onstruction:

(ssembly of the circuit is very simple and really re2uires no detailed instruction. (s an added safety precaution, a safety switch should be added to the det wires. This would allow greater ease andsafety in operation, as the detonator could be connected to the circuit and the operative could still setand test the timer with complete safety. (nother safety measure is to connect the wires thatordinarily go to the detonator to a miniature stereo headphone 6ack. The leg wires on the detonatorwould be attached to a mating headphone plug. (fter starting the timer and finding the circuit safe,

the detonator is plugged into the 6ack.

%peration:

- 'et the timer or alarm to the desired delay.

- #heck the power lamp to see if there is power to the det wires.

- If all checks out %4, connect the detonator.



117

- 'tart the countdown.

*otes: Test the delay a couple of times by connecting a buzzer to the detonator wires. (fter the delayis complete and the buzzer sounds, the battery must be disconnected or the momentary switchdepressed to break power to the det wires by resetting the '#!.

The pipe-bomb is possibly the simplest of improvised e plosive devices. It has been used bycountless revolutionary movements, criminal organizations, guerillas, resistance fighters, anddisgruntled, anti-social or homicidal individuals throughout the world to spread terror and mayhem.In its classic form the pipe-bomb consists of a short length of iron pipe sealed at both ends with

threaded end caps, the pipe is filled with some type of low-e plosive propellant >most commonlygun powder or match headsA. 1igh e plosives can, of course, be used in a pipe-bomb but in this casethe pipe functions only as a fragmentation 6acket and plays no part in containing the blast and istherefore, technically, not a pipe-bomb. (n igniter and delay mechanism or a fuse is inserted througha hole in the pipe body or one of the end caps. + tra shrapnel, often in the form of nails or ball

bearings is sometimes affi ed to the outside of the pipe body creating a device capable of inflictinglethal wounds on multiple targets within roughly a ten meter radius. ( pipe bomb can be made fromnearly any type of tubing but the stronger the pipe the better it can contain the e plosion beforerupturing and therefore the more powerful the blast. I have provided some ideas for producing pipe-



120

bombs here with an eye toward safe construction, positive function and ma imizing power andlethality.

'afe #onstruction

( pipe-bomb is a lethal and inherently unsafe device. *umerous bombers have been killed, crippled,maimed or blinded and ultimately caught due to the premature ignition of one of their devices. Thereare a number of causes of unplanned deflagration3

;: ( spark caused by static electricity. The potential for such a spark can be reduced by lining theinside of the pipe with a plastic bag before filling it with propellant.

): ( spark or flame from a heat source. This one is so basic I donCt really need to e plain it.%bviously one should never bring any e plosive device into contact with a heat source, open flameor spark - this includes cigarettes, wood stoves, candles, gas lamps etc.

H: 1eavy impact or e plosive shock. If a pipe-bomb is dropped or stuck very heavily there is achance, albeit a slim one, that it could e plode. The shock wave from another e plosive, adischarging firearm or even a powerful backfire from a vehicle engine could cause what is called asympathetic e plosion. This is fairly unlikely but anyone even considering constructing a pipe-bombshould be aware of the potential.

?: Powder caught in pipe threads: This is, apparently, a very common cause of unplanned ignition. (

tiny bit of the propellant powder gets into the threads of the pipe and when the end cap is screwedon the powder is crushed and ignites blowing a gapping hole in its constructor. This situation can beavoided by using a toothbrush to clean the threads out and then lightly coating the pipe and capthreads with 0aseline prior to final construction. (lso using the earlier suggestion of placing the

powder inside a plastic bag or constructing the bomb with some alternative to the end caps, such as/ondo, will eliminate the potential for this problem occurring.

"a imizing Power



121

- If improvised propellant is to be used make it as fine as possible and be sure it is dry and wellmi ed. If commercial /lack Powder is to be used FFFFg is very fine and makes a good filler. If'mokeless Powder is available use /'P rather than '/'P as it is more powerful.. Probably themost powerful low-e plosive filler is Potassium #hlorate powder.

- $ethality can be greatly increased by strapping or taping shrapnel such as nails, //s, nuts and boltsand any small bits of scrap metal you can scrounge onto the body of the pipe bomb.

Positive Function

- If a fuse is to be used make sure it is dry and in good condition, braiding three or four of themtogether is a good way of ensuring positive ignition. %ne of the very best improvised fuses ifcommercial fuses are unavailable is a 8sparkler8. These are the bright burning fireworks which are

placed on childrenCs birthday cakes. They consist of a straight piece of metal wire coated with sometype of slow burning propellant. These things are cheap, very common and burn very slowly and

positively3 being nearly impossible to put out.

- If a homemade lightbulb s2uib is to be used inside the bomb be sure that it is of a design whichyou know to be functional. The inside of the bomb cavity must be well filled with propellant toensure that the s2uib makes contact with the propellant when ignited.

- ouble check the function of any timer, clockworks or delay mechanisms. /e sure any wires are inworking order and use fresh batteries where applicable. *ever use any untested design, system or

propellant in an actual bombing.

*ote: !emember an une ploded bomb is the 1oly &rail for investigators from which they willobtain clues as to who you are and evidence which will hang you if youCre caught. hen a bomb is

built its function is to e plode= periodD

'ome ideas for constructing e pedient pipe-bombs: !ather than constructing bombs from pre-cutand threaded ; foot pipe sections and end caps try cutting ; foot sections from a length of at least ;inch I. .>inside diameterA discarded pipe. Instead of purchasing end caps try using auto body fillersuch as /ondo to fill the ends. To do this first drill a series of si or eight R inch holes around thecircumference of each end of the pipe section. *e t mi up enough /ondo to fill one end of the pipeto a one inch depth. 1eap the /ondo into a blob on top of a piece of paper and then place one end ofthe pipe into it. /e sure that the /ondo fills the pipe to a one inch depth and starts to ooze out of theholes you drilled. $et the /ondo harden then drill a hole in the center of the pipe section for yourfuse or igniter wires. *e t stand the pipe up with the /ondo end cap down and fill halfway up with

propellant leaving enough room for your fuse or igniter to be secured against the opposite pipe wallwith glue. (fter the glue dries continue filling the pipe with propellant until you reach ; inch fromthe top then mi some more /ondo to fill the end, again making sure that the /ondo oozes out theholes you drilled earlier. %nce hardened these /ondo end caps will contain the pressure of thee ploding pipe-bomb long enough to ensure fragmentation of the iron pipe body itself. I have triedthis pipe-bomb design and it really does work, it is vastly cheaper, safer to construct and producesless traceable evidence than using purchased pipe sections and end caps.

Improved Pipe /omb esign



122

(fter some e perimentation I produced a pipe bomb which could pass through a metal detectorsuccessfully. P0# pipe is used as the pipe body, this can either be in the form of purchased ; footthreaded sections or preferably sections cut from discarded P0# pipe. +nd caps can be purchasedand fastened on the ends with P0# cement or better yet /ondo end caps can be used as describedearlier. In this design we must not use any metal so our fuse or igniter and delay mechanism must benon-metallic. (lso our shrapnel cannot be metallic, therefore marbles, taped to the pipe body, willserve this purpose nicely. This bomb will not be as powerful or destructive as its metal counterpart

because the P0# cannot contain the e plosive gasses long enough to produce a really powerfule plosion, but if well constructed it should be capable of inflicting lethal wounds within a five toseven meter blast radius.

This type of device consists of an envelope or small package containing an e plosive device whichwill be detonated upon opening or alternately by remote control. This device is intended to bedelivered right into the targetCs hands either through the postal system, a delivery company or by the

bomber himself. The first two options leave a paper trail and possible witnesses at the point wherethe package was mailed and the third, while producing no paper trail, forces the bomber to be

present at the crime scene. *one of these options is particularly appealing however hand deliverymay be preferable in the case of a target to be struck at hisGher residence. This is due to the fact thatthere will in all likelihood be few witnesses to an early morning package delivery in a residential

area. If the target is in a civilianGcommercial or government building hand delivery will be difficult because of security cameras and numerous witnesses.

The main problem with this type of attack is the fact that the intended target is often not killed ormaimed in the e plosion but instead one of his or her underlings takes the brunt of the bomberCsrage. This is particularly true for civilianGcommercial or governmental targets where someone in themailroom, a secretary or receptionist will most likely be the victim of this attack. 'ometimes, in theinstance of a 5ewish, gay or some other degenerate or non- hite activist group, this is perfectlyacceptable. 1owever in the case of a civilianGcommercial or government agency where the target is



123

an individual or small group of individuals in policy making or leadership roles, a bomb attackwhich indiscriminately kills or in6ures innocent hites is not acceptable. These types of targets will

be better dealt with by directing mail bombs to their residences to reduce the possibility of innocentvictims. 'elective assassination may have to be considered for targets protected by such 8humanshields8.

"ail bombs fall into two main types3

L&tt&r 7o 1(

The letter bomb is less likely to raise suspicions than the package bomb and is therefore more likelyto be opened by the intended target. This type of device consists of an envelope filled withe plosive, set with a detonator and rigged to e plode upon opening. +nvelopes from the standard

business size to the large folder type can be used. The drawback to this type of device is the limitedamount of space within the envelope, re2uiring a very powerful high e plosive in order to beeffective. 'heet + plosives such as "-;;< or ";< are best suited for this type of device and will

produce a device capable of destroying itCs intended target. "ilitary sheet e plosives are not easy tocome by but I have provided a proven method for their construction in the Improvised + plosivessection. The sheet e plosive is sized to fit within the envelope, and a detonator is set. ( provenmethod for rigging this device to e plode upon opening is the use of a musical greeting card. This isthe type of card which when opened plays a tune through a tiny speaker powered by a watch battery.This pre-e isting circuitry can be rewired from the speaker to our detonator >a more powerful

battery may be re2uiredA and the sheet e plosive and detonator placed within the card. 'ome of ourcomrades in &ermany have had great success in killing and maiming a number of immigrationadvocates and lawyers >most of them 5ews of courseA with this type of device, as of this writingthose responsible have not been caught='eig 1eilD

The spatial constraints of this type of device donCt offer the operator much room to makeimprovements. There is really no way to add to the lethality of the letter bomb without making itsuspiciously heavy or oddly shaped. The whole point of this type of attack is to destroy the primarytarget and this can only be accomplished if that target is not made suspicious by your device.

6)",) & 7o 1(

This type of device offers the bomber a number of options regarding what type of e plosive deviceto deliver within the package. ( low e plosive pipe-bomb type device or a high e plosive device can

be used depending on what type of e plosives are available to the bomber. Packages from the size of

a video cassette case to about the size of a shoebo or larger can be used, offering, with the righte plosive, enough room for a very powerful bomb. It is important to remember, however, that manyof the individuals and groups which we might select as targets for this type of attack are alreadyaware of this possibility. In many circles any une pected package will arouse a great deal ofsuspicion.

9nlike the letter bomb this device is intended to act like a 8Tro6an horse8. It will be brought into thetargeted building and e plode destroying individuals and property within. For this reason very a

powerful charge should be used and some form of shrapnel should be added to increase lethality.



124

( variation on this device is a hand delivered package, which is rigged with a wire or radiocontrolled initiator. This device is left at the doorstep of the target building or residence and when

picked up or approached by the targeted individual the operative can initiate the e plosive from adistance. ire controlled systems are simple enough all that is re2uired is very long wires whichwhen touched together complete the circuit powering the initiator or detonator. /ear in mind that the

longer the wires the more power is reduced in the circuit, therefore it would be wise to use more powerful batteries than re2uired to power the initiator. This is a high risk type of attack and must bewell planned to reduce the chances of capture.

'ome ways to minimize suspicion3

- ( package from an unfamiliar address will be viewed with some suspicion. ( nasty trick is to labelthe package as having been sent from the address of a secondary target, usually an individual ororganization familiar to the primary. That way the primary target will be more likely to accept andopen a package from a familiar address but if the primary re6ects the package it will be 8returned8into the hands of the secondary target.

- The F/I has warned those who are concerned about the potential for package bombs to besuspicious of packages with e cessive postage, no postage or e cessive e terior tape. If a package isto be mailed, take the time to calculate the proper postage and use only that much. /e sure thee terior of the package looks in no way out of the ordinary.

7)",p)", 7o 1

The backpack bomb is generally an anti-personnel device concealed in a backpack or large bag. The bomber carries the device to the target area and then leaves it behind to e plode after he has madehis escape. ( backpack offers enough space to conceal a fairly large and powerful device >up toabout -E lbA capable, with the right e plosive and ample shrapnel, of producing lethal in6uriesupon a large number of individuals or of significantly damaging a building or other property. $ow or high e plosives can be used in this type of device, with low e plosives re2uiring shrapnel in order to

produce a lethal blast. &reat care must be taken when deploying this type of device, if it is not built,set and handled properly it will blow the operative into fishfood.

( good precaution the operative can take is to place a large steel plate at least ;G<8 thick >better yetR8 or HG<8A inside the backpack between the bomb and the operativeCs back. /e sure to use thelargest steel plate you can fit inside the pack. This steel plate may save you from shrapnel damage inthe event of a premature e plosion however you will likely be knocked flat, in6ured, deafened andwill not escape law enforcement.

This steel plate can also be used to direct shrapnel in a similar fashion as a shaped charge or aclaymore mine. This will produce a more deadly killing pattern which can be targeted in a specificdirection. ( backpack bomb with a steel plate was used by +ric !udolf at the ;LL %lympics in(tlanta. 9nfortunately the backpack was moved by a security guard by 6ust prior to the e plosion,changing the direction of the blast from right into a crowd of dancing niggers to almost straight up.(nyone who has seen the videotape of the blast understands the potential for murder and mayheminherent in a surprise bomb attack in a crowded area, only one person was killed by the bomb but

#ar and truck bombs have been used for many years by guerilla fighters throughout the world. Theidea behind this type of device is to pack a vehicle with a huge amount of e plosives and then movethe vehicle into a position near enough to the target to do serious damage. The I!( has an effective

practice of kidnapping the family of an employee of their intended target and then forcing them todeliver the bomb to the target. The bombing of the French embassy in /eirut was accomplished in asimilar fashion, the bomb was concealed in the vehicle of an embassy employee without herknowledge. %nce she was waved through the gate and had parked inside the compound, the bombwas detonated. These are known in terrorists circles as 8pro y car bombs.8

The widespread use of vehicle bombs in recent years has led to e treme countermeasures in someareas. "ost high value targets will react swiftly to an abandoned !yder van or any other suspiciousvehicle. &ood planning will have to be put to work in order to use vehicle bombs against hardtargets. 'ofter targets may have to be selected for this type of attack.

The best type of vehicle for use as a bomb is a standard passenger van, although a full-sized sedanwith a large trunk may be ade2uate. (void the use of large, rental moving vans3 the %klahoma #ity

bombing has created a lasting sense of suspicion among law enforcement and civilians alike whenthey see these vehicles anywhere near a potential target.

(side from the Tro6an-horse effect the real strength of the vehicle bomb is the huge amounts ofe plosives which they can deliver. #heap, improvised e plosives should be used instead of moree pensive and harder to obtain high e plosives such as T*T or #-?.

#laymore mines are anti-personnel, directional mines, which are used for perimeter defense, remoteambush and early warning when enemies trip them outside of a defensive perimeter. The claymoremine consists of a fiberglass casing which is concave in the front and conve in the rear. Inside isL grams of #-? plastic e plosive belted on the front with rows of steel shot. Two pairs of scissorslegs e tend from the bottom for placement on the ground and the weapon is sighted in using a slit

between the detonator wells. The claymore mine can be initiated remotely by the user or can be setto e plode with a tripwire. hen detonated a claymore produces a ? B frontal kill zone. Theseweapons proved themselves to be essential to modern warfare during the 0ietnam ar, wherethousands of them were used to thwart the &ooksB 8human-wave8 attacks. To the hite resistancefighter, the claymore mine can be employed as a booby trap, a remotely detonated weapon ofassassination or terror, or a defensive weapon to protect the operativeBs retreat.

#laymores can be deployed wherever the enemy is likely to move, park their vehicles, store goodsor pass through choke points.

rill two HG<8 holes along each edge of the ; 8 side of the slab. Put one on top and one on the bottom with about <8 separating them. These holes will retain an ;<8 long, ;G?8 diameter bolt, providing legs on which to punch the device into the ground. eld an old washer to the bolts nearthe bottom as an aid in pushing the steel legs into the ground. /uilding the mine this way allows it to

be deployed either by hanging it up or punching it into the ground.

Twist and bend the bolts so that they slip through the HG<8 holes that e tend solidly below before proceeding to the ne t step.

Fill the plastic bag full of ground ammonium nitrate. (bout ; lb should be packed into the bag. It isimportant that the bag be packed bulging full, if it is not the powder will not lay flat on the blastshield.

The e plosive must lie in an even layer on the plate when placed in a vertical position. If it slumpsto the bottom of the bag, the effectiveness of the device is compromised. 9sually this is caused bythe bag not being packed full of powdered ammonium nitrate. 4eep track of the amount of fertilizer

"ilitary issue claymores contain E .H< caliber hardened-steel balls imbedded in the #-?. 1ardenedsteel is used because lead can be deformed by the blast and fly off erratically. 1ardened steel ballsare also marginally more effective against vehicles and slightly cheaper than lead. The operativemay use any round lead, iron or steel ball available, provided they are between .)< and .?@ caliber. Itwill almost certainly be necessary to purchase this part of the claymore.

'teel ball of .H< caliber is often sold as slingshot ammo, but it is not usually cheap. $ead shot forshotshell reloading can be purchased, without much hassle, at most gun stores. %% buckshot is

probably the best bet. It is .H@ caliber and numbers about L< balls to the lb.

'even hundred rounds of buckshot will weigh about E lbs. This and the e plosives will produce a

device which weighs about L lbs, far more than military models and too heavy for most applications.H - ? lbs of shot will work nicely in front of the ; lb #-? charge. This will produce a weapon with aH@B frontal kill zone.

%nce the shot has been obtained it is time to start the most difficult task involved in claymoreconstruction3 setting the shot in place. The resulting layer of pro6ectiles must completely and evenlycover the e plosive packet without any gaps in spacing and without layering them two deep in some

places. This layer must lie vertically, tightly on the e plosive.

'hot in military issue claymores is pressed right into the #-? charge but in our homebuilt claymore,this is not possible.

The bestsolution to this

problem is to place 6ustenough

pro6ectiles in aE8 <.@8Qiplock bag tofill it with noholes or gap

but notallowing the pro6ectiles to

pile up in any one place. 'uck all the air out of the bag and seal it.1aving created a smooth, flat packet of pro6ectiles, lay two piecesof stiff cardboard on front and back of the Qiplock packet. Tape these together rigidly, still holdingthe shot in a flat, smooth configuration.

ACTION

Ar(on



146

(rson is one of the easiest crimes to commit and one of the most difficult for law enforcement toinvestigate. (n arson attack can take the form of a sabotage or vandalism attack, a method of(&'&"tiv& )(()((in)tion , or as a terror attack against non- hites.

(ny type of infrastructure which can be destroyed or disabled by fire may be attacked with

incendiary devices. +lectrical power generation and delivery, food supplies, fuel supplies andvarious government and corporate capital make e cellent targets for arson attacks.

(rson is a particularly effective weapon of mass-murder. +mployed against targets such as high-density breeding facilities >i.e. - non- hite filled high-rise apartmentsA or locations where non-

hites congregate in large numbers, an arson attack can be 2uite deadly. This type of attack is oftenmore deadly even than a bombing. The lethality of the arson attack can be increased by ensuring thatany possible escape routes are denied and that emergency services are occupied elsewhere.

In a high-rise apartment building, the elevators must be disabled before the attack. This is bestaccomplished by setting their interiors ablaze with flammable li2uids. *e t the main fires must be

set in the hallways of the first few floors. 'tart the fires at the ends of the hallways near the stairwelldoors in order to drive escapees away from the stairwells and toward the >inoperativeA elevatorswhich are usually located in the middle of the hallway. %nce this is accomplished the stairwells mustne t be filled with flame and smoke. ( combination of ;G) engine oil and ;G) gasoline will make agreat deal of smoke when set alight and can be used effectively to deter apartment dwellers fromescaping by way of the stairs.

"ost of the buildings which are inhabited by non- hites are in sever states of disrepair and neglect.The landlords simply collect the rent and do the bare minimum or less in the way of ensuring thesafety or security of tenants. This is to our advantage as sprinkler systems and emergency e2uipmentare often absent or not functioning. Fire alarms are often pulled by pranksters and it is not

uncommon to find that e asperated tenants will disable or muffle fire alarms for this reason.

%ther targets where non- hites can be struck in large numbers, such as night-clubs and concerts,can be attacked with similar methods as those used for high-rise apartments. *ight-clubs are

particularly vulnerable targets as 2uite a bit of mayhem occurs at these locations on a nightly basisand security personnel generally have their hands full dealing with unruly non- hite patrons.

The operative must conduct surveillance to determine where the e its are, if they are kept locked >asthey often are in these places to keep people from sneaking in without payingA, how many security

personnel are usually on duty and how alert and effective they are. (gain all possible e its must bedenied. Firebombs thrown or placed at the e its will cause enough panic to result in in6uries and

fatalities as patrons trample each other to find a way to escape. "ost casualties in fires of this typeare from smoke inhalation or crush in6uries caused by fleeing crowds. #hoose a time for the attackwhen the greatest concentration of non- hites will be present.

(n arson fire will burn more 2uickly and thoroughly if fires are set in multiple locations around andwithin the target. 'et fires where there is sufficient flammable material to allow flames to spread2uickly. Fires burn upwards, of course, therefore fires should be set at the lower levels of a buildingor structure. Fuel containers, wooden furniture and building materials, plastics, carpets and curtainsall make good fuel sources for arson fires. 'imultaneous arson attacks at several locations will force



147

emergency services to either 8prioritize8 one or two targets and let the rest burn or to spreadthemselves thin and try to deal with all of the targets. +ither way the attacks will be much moreeffective than if they were conducted separately.

(rson investigations deal primarily with the 2uestion of whether or not a certain fire was an arson.

(rson investigators are able to tell where a given fire originated, what type of incendiary device orchemical accelerant was used and if more than one fire was set. The operative will, for propagandareasons, want any arson attacks conducted to be recognized as such by the 8authorities8. Theoperative must be aware that vapors from accelerants used often remain after a fire has beene tinguished and can be analyzed by investigators. These tests can provide investigators withevidence if accelerants discovered in the operativeBs possession can be matched to evidence at thecrime scene.

( significant amount of damage can be inflicted against government and corporate interests with theuse of sabotage. enial of services such as electrical power, fuel supplies, water, food supplies,communications or transportation will encourage the kind of civil unrest and panic we re2uire inorder to carry out more of our program. ( sustained campaign of, even minor, sabotage can inflictserious financial damage upon our governmental and corporate enemies. It will be nearly impossiblefor law enforcement to protect all of these infrastructure targets.

The electrical power supply is absolutely essential to the life of any metropolitan area. 1eating andair-conditioning, food distribution, transportation, hospitals and most businesses re2uire electrical

power in order to function. $oss of these services for any e tended period of time will cause veryserious civil unrest. The power generation and distribution systems of most ma6or estern cities aresurprisingly vulnerable to attack. ith the e ception of nuclear power plants, most power systemsare unguarded and can be taken down with &/p'o(iv&( , )r(on or by damaging essential parts with'on -r)n & ri$'& fire.

"ost of the worldBs electrical power is generated at coal powered generating plants, hydro-electricdams and nuclear power plants. 'ome power is generated from solar panels, windmills, geo-thermal

generators and other clean technologies but #apitalists and #ommunists alike care little for theenvironment and therefore these technologies make up only a tiny percentage of the total poweroutput.

(ttacking the power supply at the source has the advantage of creating a total blackout of thesupplied area with 6ust one attack. The heart of the generating system must be destroyed. 1ydroturbines, coal-powered boilers and nuclear reactors are very e pensive and comple systems whichcannot be 2uickly repaired or replaced. estruction of these systems will force authorities to divert



148

power from other plants in order to prevent disaster. (ttacking during peak consumption times> inter in cold climates and 'ummer in hot climatesA will make power diversion impossible.

Power distribution systems are also very vulnerable and nearly impossible to defend against attack.(gain )r(on , &/p'o(iv&( or 'on -r)n & ri$'& fire can be used to disable substations, transformersand suspension pylons. ( simultaneous attack against a number of these targets can shut down

power for nearly as long as an attack upon the generation source with the advantage that servicecannot be 2uickly restored by diverting power from another source. +ach broken link in the power

grid must be repaired in order to fully restore service.

Fuel storage tanks are constructed to withstand a certain amount of punishment, such as being runinto by a truck, but can easily be ruptured with a powerful charge of high e plosives. These facilitiesare often unguarded and make for very tempting, high-value targets.

Pipelines are even more vulnerable to attack than storage tanks. Pipelines can be more readily

(rson, bombs, poison and a myriad of other means can be employed asassassination instruments. $ets first look at some simple guidelines and then run through a fewassassination scenarios.

*otes:

-'trike the target at their most vulnerable point. People are generally less alert at night and in theearly morning, therefore a home-invasion attack at night or a strike during the morning commute tothe workplace would be most effective.

-The targetBs routine must be analyzed to find the best opportunity to make a strike. (ny point whenthe target is at rest or distracted will make a good strike zone. /e sure that there is ampleconcealment for any ambush or sniper points.

The sniper attack is a good choice for targets which are protected or are alert to the possibility thatthey may be targeted. There is really no way for a target to be completely protected from adetermined sniper without completely disrupting their life. +ven the President of the 9'( isvulnerable, to a certain degree, to this type of attack.

( home-invasion attack is a very high-risk procedure. The target may be armed and there issignificant risk of law enforcement being alerted to the attack. (ny assassination attempt of this typemust be thoroughly planned out. Target surveillance and research is absolutely imperative. It will benecessary to understand the layout of the residence, how many people are inside, if the target ownsdogs, firearms or alarm systems and when and where the target is likely to sleep.

( lightning 2uick attack must be conducted. It will almost certainly be necessary for more than oneoperative to conduct this type of assassination. The residence should be entered by smashing down a

The hite !esistance fighter should not underestimate the psychological impact of a sustainedcampaign of death threats and vandalism against non- hites, 5ews or traitors.

population with foreign aid, 'ynagogues, "os2ues, Temples and other deserving targets will inciterage or inspire fear in our enemies. The purpose of threats and intimidation is to force the target toalter hisGher behavior, go out of business, move away, or increase spending for security, or tosomehow retaliate. %nly a sustained campaign of threats or vandalism can accomplish this. It should

be possible for a resistance cell or a lone-wolf to conduct several campaigns of this naturesimultaneously.

In order to sustain a large-scale guerilla campaign, it will be necessary to have access to significantmonetary resources. %btaining funding for our struggle will be a difficult and perilous task. It may

be possible in the future to e pect contributions from our racial kin but we must first show that wereally intend to fight this war. 9ntil that day we will be forced to turn to criminal enterprise in orderto fund our attacks.

The methods we use to ac2uire cash must never result in physical in6ury to innocent hites. If we

were to get involved in dealing drugs to hite children or armed robberies in which some hite bank teller or security guard gets killed, we would be little better than the criminal non- hiteswhich we despise. (n analysis of the actions of other separatist movements, such as the I!( or +T(shows us that whatever early ideals these movements had, 2uickly became submerged whenoperatives got involved in smuggling drugs or robbing their own people to obtain funding.

e must make every effort to ensure that it is only our enemies who are the victims of ourfundraising efforts. In this way our fundraising efforts will also, in a !obin 1ood sort of way, beseen as attacks upon our enemies. $ike any other action, ac2uiring funds must be well thought-out



156

and researched. The operative should plan ahead so that ac2uiring funds is never an act ofdesperation.

Co!nt&r$&itin - This is becoming a more and more difficult crime to do well. It is nearlyimpossible to produce money or documents, which will pass inspection with modern e2uipment.

1owever, it is still possible obtain funds in this way as long as only small amounts are passed at agiven time. #ounterfeiting undermines a nationBs currency and causes serious headaches forgovernments and law enforcement. For these reasons, counterfeiting is treated very seriously by thecourts.

Fr)! - This covers every imaginable type of scam and forgery. /ank fraud, credit card fraud, check fraud etc. are crimes which are relatively easy to conduct and rarely result in serious sentences forthose convicted.

Ro11&r3 - &reat care must be taken not to victimize innocent hites in this type of action. Targetour enemies for this type of action. !obbery is a serious crime, which will result in long 6ail terms

for those convicted. The lowest risk type of robbery is the home-invasion robbery conducted againstdrug dealers, wealthy corporate e ecutives and other enemies who are known to have cash on hand.Intelligence gathering is the key to making this type of robbery work.

S ! 'in - (s stated, drug smuggling must be strictly off-limits. There are, however, plenty ofother items which can be smuggled for profit. Firearms, electronics, 6ewelry, and 6ust about anythingwhich is controlled or ta ed by governments can be smuggled for profit. Penalties for smugglingrange from a slap on the wrist to very lengthy 6ail terms depending on what has been smuggled andwhat 6urisdiction is involved.

6o'i"& Inv&(ti )tion(

It is essential for the operative to understand how criminal investigations are conducted and 6ustwhat can and cannot be determined from crime scene evidence. This knowledge will allow theoperative to reduce the risk that law enforcement will be able to identify, build a case against, andsuccessfully prosecute him or her.

Fin &rprint(

Fingerprints are possibly the most common type of physical evidence, and certainly one of the mostvaluable to investigators. +ach personBs fingerprints are uni2ue to them and do not change

significantly over time. Therefore, they offer the investigator the ability to identify the person wholeft them at the crime scene. There are three types of fingerprints which are collected as evidence3

- irect or Inked Fingerprints which are collected from a suspect and use for comparison withcrime-scene prints.

- $atent Fingerprints which are impressions caused by the perspiration through the sweat pores ofthe ridges of the skin being transferred to some surface.



157

- !esidual Fingerprints which are produced when the ridges of the skin have been contaminated withsubstances such as oil, grease, dirt, blood etc.

Fingerprints deposited on hard, nonabsorbent, smooth surfaces, such as metal, glass, and finishedwood, are the easiest investigators to find and record. Fingerprints deposited on porous, absorbent

surfaces are the most difficult for investigators to find and process but the technology e ists theobtain fingerprints off of nearly any surface, provided they are processed soon after being deposited.

'tandards differ from 6urisdiction to 6urisdiction regarding the number and 2uality of prints whichmust be obtained from the crime-scene and matched to a suspect in order for them to be submittedas evidence in court. Police, however, could possibly identify an operative from 6ust one partialfingerprint. This evidence would be useless in court, but would make the operative vulnerable tofurther, aggressive investigation.

The only way to avoid this is to simply not leave any fingerprints behind. earing surgical glovesduring every stage of a given mission is the simplest way to achieve this. +very item the operative

brings along on a mission must have none of the operativeBs >or any #omradeBsA fingerprints on it.'pecial care must be taken to be sure that items, such as weapons, tools, and e plosives, which have been handled before a mission, are free of incriminating fingerprints.

Inthis case the operative must use care not to leave samples behind for investigators to obtain.

- *ever lick stamps or envelopes to be use to threaten enemies, to claim responsibility for acts ofwar or when making letter or package bomb attacks.

- The operative should do everything possible to avoid cuts and abrasions during the course of amission. #hose routes of ingress and egress which are free of obstructions. ear tough clothes,footwear and, of course, gloves.

- henever the operative is forced to come into physical contact with the enemy there is potentialfor body fluid samples to be deposited. The best way to prevent this is to become proficient in armedand unarmed combat so that enemies can be dealt with 2uickly and the risk of in6ury to the operativereduced.

There is also potential for the body fluids of the target of an attack or some contaminants from thecrime scene to be deposited on the operative during the course of a mission. This potential is

particularly strong in missions of 'elective (ssassination. hen using weapons such as knives andfirearms fired at close range, the operative is sure to become contaminated with samples of thetargetBs blood. There is also potential for gunshot residue, trace elements from e plosives, hair fiber, and soil evidence to be deposited upon the operativeBs person and clothing.

The operative must begin each mission with a set of sterile cloths and destroy them afterwards. Theclothing and footwear worn by the operative during a mission should be obtained from second-handclothing stores or from services which provide used clothing to the poor. The clothing should be

kept sealed in the bag from the store and not washed or worn before the mission. This is a simpleand cheap way for the operative to be supplied with sterile clothing, which will be free of hair, fiberand trace elements evidence from the operativeBs vehicle, residence or person. These clothes can beremoved and destroyed after the completion of the mission.

Tr)"& E'& &nt(

This type of evidence is also fre2uently referred to as hair and fiber evidence. Trace evidence can beloosely defined as materials which are small enough to be overlooked upon initial inspection, andwhich, because of their size, are easily e changed through contact. + amples of trace evidenceinclude, hair, fiber, gunshot residue, threads, soil, debris, dust and chemicals, adhesives, polymers,

paints, wood, insulation from safes and metals.

The detection of trace evidence linking a suspect to the crime scene, coupled with good evidencestandards, makes for a powerful investigative tool. The hite resistance fighter must be aware of the

potential links which law enforcement can make from trace evidence deposited at the crime scene or transferred from the crime scene to the operativeBs body, clothes, footwear, vehicle, residence etc.

"ost trace evidence is transferred by way of clothing and footwear so the use of sterile clothing willeliminate many of the links back to the operative which law enforcement will attempt to establish.

1air evidence is a ma6or concern. 1uman hair is constantly being shed and crime scene investigatorswill collect any hair evidence. 1air can be used to determine the following things:

- The race of the individual

- The part of the body from which the hair originated

- hether or not the hair was forcibly removed

- hether the hair had been cut with a dull or sharp instrument

- If the hair had been dyed or bleached

- hether the hair had been burned or crushed

- It is possible, under certain circumstances, for the investigator to obtain a *( sample from hairevidence.

Possible conclusions concerning hair sample analysis:

- That the hairs match in terms of microscopic characteristics and that they originated from either thesame individual or another individual whose hair e hibits the same microscopic characteristics.>*ote the 2ualification that is necessary with respect to precise identity.A

- That the hairs are not similar and did not originate from the same individual.

- That no conclusion can be reached

0ery short cropped hair or a tight-fitting hat or knit cap will reduce the amount of hair evidencedeposited at any crime scene.

For the purposes of this document, a tool will be considered as any ob6ect capable of making animpression on another solid ob6ect. ( tool mark, therefore, is any impression, cut gouge or abrasionwhich results when a tool is brought into contact with an ob6ect. The most common tools dealt with

by law enforcement are the various burglary tools, such as pry-bars, screwdrivers, lockpicks etc.

( tool will often impress its own outline, know as tool marks, into the material it comes into contactwith. These tool marks can provide valuable evidence to an investigator as to what type of tool wasused and can allow the investigator to identify a recovered tool as being responsible for making themarks. Fractured parts of tools, even very small pieces, can be linked to the tool from which theycame.

#omparison of Tool "arks

The operative should be well aware of the ability of investigators to identify 6ust about anything you bring to the target location as having been there and this is especially true for tools. The operativemay have to make forced entry into a residence or other buildings and vehicles in the course of

planting e plosives, selective assassination or for the purpose of ac2uiring funds or weapons needed.The tools used on such missions should be sterile, i.e. they should not have the operativesfingerprints on them or any residue evidence which link them back to the operative. 'crounge orliberate any tools needed and store them as described for sterile clothing, yard sale and flea marketsare e cellent sources for cheap tools. ( sterile tool is best left at the crime scene, making it a deadend for investigation.

(ny tool which must be kept due to its value should be altered by working its contact surfaces witha file or abrasive before and after any mission. (ltering the tool before a mission is necessary

because the tool may have been used or tested at the operativeBs residence, allowing an investigatorto link the tool back to this earlier use.

There is a well known saying amongst prosecutors that 8the only thing worse than no evidence at allis eyewitness evidence8. This reflects the fact that the average person who witnesses a crime has notraining in observation skills. "ost people donBt really take note of what the suspect looks like, whatkind of clothes the suspect wore, or what type of weapons or vehicles, if any, were used. This fact isa double-edged sword to the operative3 on one hand any eyewitnesses will generally be of onlymarginal help to investigators but on the other hand, when investigators have the operative targetedas a suspect it is very easy for them to influence the testimony of eyewitnesses.

The operative must do everything possible to avoid being noticed by witnesses while conductingmissions. 1ere are some things to remember:

- It is important to avoid making eye-contact with passersby while travelling to and from the targetarea. +ye-contact is both a se ual signal and a threatening gesture and will be sure cause witnessesto take note.

- ress to fit into the surroundings at the target area.

- +arth tones and a drab appearance will go a long way to reducing the number of witnesses whotake note of the operative.

- onBt e hibit signs of strength or alertness, keep the muscles of the chest and shoulders rela ed andslightly slouched. This will make witnesses dismiss you as unthreatening without a second glance.

- onBt wear a disguise which will draw undue attention. ( good e ample is a police uniform3 this is possibly the worst imaginable disguise and should only be used when absolutely necessary. ( policeofficerBs appearance and activities are usually noticed by everyone and people are likely to approacha police officer with 2uestions or comments. ( construction worker, on the other hand, will often begiven the same level of unchallenged access as a cop but, at the same time, will draw less attention.

- onBt speak or interact with anyone unless absolutely necessary

'urveillance cameras are a common resource for law enforcement. hen investigating a crime,investigators will look at the tapes recorded by business security cameras in the area of the crime

scene, near the suspectBs residence and along any possible routes between the previous twolocations. The sheer number of cameras in use today gives the investigator a good chance ofobtaining damning evidence that a suspect was in the vicinity of the crime scene or traveled along aroute to it before or away from it after the crime was committed. "any high-profile cases haveincluded this element of evidence recently.

In order to avoid being caught with this type of evidence the operative should take a round-a-boutroute to the target area, avoiding downtown storefronts, banks, 6ewelry or electronics shops oranywhere else that is likely to have security cameras. 0ehicles owned by the operative, or which can



162

be linked to the operative or any other comrade should not be used as transportation directly to andfrom the target area. If absolutely necessary drive to a spot which is several blocks from the targetand walk from there. If a getaway car is re2uired for the mission it must be a stolen vehicle,

preferably one stolen very recently 9se public transportation or walk to the target if possible, rushhour is the best time for this as anonymity can easily be maintained in a crowd. ( disguise of some

sort should be worn but donBt get too fancy with this, a ball-cap, dark sunglasses and someuncharacteristic clothing will make a more convincing cover than a fake wig, beard or anything elsewhich is too e travagant.

In the event of most shootings and nearly all firearm homicides an investigation involving ForensicFirearm Identification is conducted. ( racially motivated attack or the assassination of one of the'ystemBs elite will almost certainly result in all the available resources of law enforcement being

brought to bear including a meticulous investigation of forensic firearms evidence. It is importantfor the operative to understand the nature of this type of investigation and 6ust what can and cannot

be determined through forensic investigations. ( good understanding of the investigative processwill help the resistance fighter to reduce the chances of leaving useful evidence at a crime scene orof being caught in possession of such evidence later.

Forensic firearm identification, which is part of the broader science of forensics, is often wronglyreferred to as ballistics. Firearms identification involves the identification of fired bullets, cartridgecases or other ammunition components as having been fired from a specific firearm. Firearmsidentification is actually a form of Tool "ark Identification where the firearm, because it is made ofa material harder than the ammunition components, acts as a tool to leave impressions and striatedmarkings on the various ammunition components that come into contact with the firearm.

Firearms evidence found at a crime scene or seized elsewhere will be submitted to a police labBsFirearms 'ection for investigation. This evidence will typically include a firearm, fired bullets, spentcartridge cases, spent shot shells, shot, shot shell wadding, live ammunition, clothing, or a numberof other types of miscellaneous evidence.

'tudies have shown that no two firearms, even those of the same make and model, will produce thesame uni2ue marks on fired bullets and cartridge cases. "anufacturing processes, use, and abuseleave surface characteristics within the firearm that cannot be e actly reproduced in other firearms.

Firearms do not normally change much over time. This allows for firearms recovered months oreven years after a shooting to be identified as having fired a specific bullet or cartridge case. Testshave been conducted proving that even after firing several hundred rounds through a firearm the last

bullet fired could still be identified to the first.

It should be noted that not all firearms leave consistent reproducible marks but around eighty percent of the firearms e amined produce what is sometimes called a 8mechanical fingerprint8 onthe bullets and cartridge cases that pass through them.

The class characteristics of firearms that relate to the bullets fired from them include the caliber of

the firearm and the rifling pattern contained in the barrel of the firearm.

#artridges and #artridge cases on the other hand are e amined for class similarities in what arecalled breech marks, firing pin impressions, e tractor marks, e6ector marks and others.

/ullets collected for comparison to a specific firearm are e amined first to see if they are of acaliber that could have been fired from the submitted firearm. They are then e amined to determineif the pattern of rifling impressions on the bullet match the pattern of rifle contained in the barrel ofthe 2uestioned firearm. If these class characteristics agree the ne t step is to try to make a positivematch between the individual characteristics that may have transferred to the bullet from the barrel.

$ocated within the rifling impressions on a bullet can be microscopic striations or scratches likethose seen on the bullet below. They sort of look like a bar code donBt they7 ell they can be asindividualistic as a barcode.

Imperfections in the surface of the interior of the barrel leave striations on the pro6ectiles. 'triationshave the potential to be consistently reproduced in a uni2ue pattern on every bullet that passes downthe barrel of a firearm.

164

hen a bullet is submitted for comparison to a firearm, one of the first e aminations conducted will be to determine the bulletBs caliber.

"easuring the bulletBs diameter, weighing the bullet, and e amining the physical characteristics ofthe bullet help firearm e aminers to arrive at a basic caliber for the submitted bullet. Firearm

e aminers also can compare the 2uestioned bullet to known reference standards. "ost police labshave an ammunition reference collection and manufacturers catalogs that can be used as referencematerial in determining a bulletBs caliber.

"aking these determinations is not as easy as it sounds.

( firearm e aminer could easily identify the above bullet as a Federal Lmm 81ydra-'hok8 bullet



165

1owever a bullet like the one above will present serious problems for the e aminer. Is the bulletfrom a Lmm $uger, a .H< 'pecial, a H< (uto, or a .H@E "agnum cartridge7 'ometimes firearme aminers can be very specific but there are times when its impossible to narrow things down to one

particular caliber or cartridge. #onfusion is often caused by the fact that firearms are normallydesigned to fire a specific type of cartridge, however, some firearms chambered to fire one cartridge

can also fire another. %ne of the most common e amples is that a revolver chambered for .H@E"agnum cartridges can also fire a .H< 'pecial cartridge. 1owever, a firearm chambered for .H<'pecial cartridges cannot fire .H@E "agnum cartridges.

If the caliber of the bullet submitted for e amination matches the caliber of the submitted firearm orif it 6ust isnBt possible to be sure of the bulletBs caliber, the firearm e aminer will look for additionalclass characteristics in the form of rifling to further narrow their search.

Ri$'in

"ost modern pistols, revolvers, rifles, and some shotgun barrels have what is called rifling in their barrels.

!ifling consists of grooves cut or formed in a spiral nature, lengthwise down the barrel of a firearm.

!ifling is placed in the barrels of firearms to impart a spin onthe bullets that pass through it. /ecause bullets are oblongob6ects, they must spin in their flight, like a thrown football,to be accurate. $ooking down the barrel of a firearm youmight see rifling like that depicted on the right. This imageshows a pattern of rifling containing eight grooves with aright twist.

!ifling is often described in reference to the number of landsJ grooves it contains. The lands are the raised areas betweentwo grooves. ( rifling pattern will always have the samenumber of lands as grooves.

Firearms can be manufactured with any number of lands and grooves in their barrels. They can alsospiral either left or right. ( few of the more common rifling patterns are ?Gright, @Gright, Gright,

Gleft, <Gright, and ; Gright.

Ri$'in I pr&((ion(( bullet is slightly larger in diameter than the bore diameter of the barrel in which it is designed to

be fired. The bore diameter is the distance from one land to the opposite land in a barrel. (s a result,a rifled barrel will impress a negative impression of itself on the sides of the bullet like those seen

below.



166

Firearm e aminers can run into problems determining any of the rifling characteristics on the bulletif the bullet is damaged like the one seen below.

( firearms e aminer may still be able to determine the number of lands and groves, the direction oftwist and possibly even the rate of twist from even a badly damaged bullet like the one above. (llthat is re2uired is one intact land and grove.

$ike bullets, cartridge cases can be identified as having been fired by a specific firearm.(s soon ascartridges are loaded into a firearm the potential for the transfer of uni2ue tool marks e ists.1owever, the cartridge does not have to be fired for these marks to be transferred. 'imply loading acartridge into a firearm can cause uni2ue identifiable marks that can be later identified.

#artridge cases like those above are most often made of brass but can also be made of othermaterials such as steel, aluminum alloys or plastics. #artridge cases come in a variety of finishes but

open. The cartridge case drops with the barrel causing the nose of the protruding firing pin to dragacross the primer as it leaves the firing pin impression.

E/tr)"tor M)r,(

(nother action mark, usually found in a striated form, are those created by the e tractor of mostauto-loading or repeating firearms.The e tractor is a small part sometimes resembling a hook that isused to remove a cartridge or cartridge case from the chamber of a firearm. The image below showsthe e tractor of a Lmm &lock pistol hooked into the e tractor groove of a cartridge. (s the slide ofthe pistol moves to the rear, the e tractor pulls the cartridge case along with it until it is e6ected fromthe pistol. The e tractor may or may not leave an identifiable mark on the cartridge case. This is trueif the cartridge is fired or simply hand chambered and e tracted without firing.

EG&"tor M)r,(

(s described above, the e tractor pulls the cartridge case out of the firearmBs chamber. (s thecartridge case is pulled to the rear it will be struck somewhere on an opposing edge by a part as seen below called the e6ector. The e6ector is designed to e pel the cartridge case from the action of thefirearm. The resulting impact of the cartridge case with the e6ector will cause another action markthat can be used as a means of identification. +6ector marks can be striated in nature but most of thetime they are impressed action marks.

I pr&((& A"tion M)r,in (

Impressed action marks, with a few e ceptions, are produced when a cartridge case is fired in afirearm. The two most common impressed action marks are firing pin impressions and breechmarks. (s mentioned earlier e6ector marks can also be in the form of an impressed action mark.

Firin 6in I pr&((ion(

Firing pin impressions are indentations created when the firing pin of a firearm strikes the primer ofcenterfire cartridge case or the rim of a rimfire cartridge case. If the nose of the firing pin hasmanufacturing imperfections or damage, these potentially uni2ue characteristics can be impressedinto the metal of the primer or rim of the cartridge case.

The comparison image below shows the firing pin impressions on two centerfire cartridge cases. (s

you can see, the firing pin impressions have both circular manufacturing marks and parallel marksfrom a defect in the nose of the firing pin.



169

The comparison image below shows firing pin impressions on two rimfire cartridge cases.Imperfections in the surface of the nose of the firing pin consistently produced these impressed

marks.

Firing pin impressions also can be found on live cartridges. In some cases, the firing pin may missthe primer of a cartridge or fail to strike the primer of a cartridge with sufficient force for it todischarge. The cartridge may also misfire due to a contaminated or deteriorated primer compound.For whatever reason, the result will be the presence of a firing pin impression on the cartridge caseof a live cartridge. This could be significant if the cartridge is say, left at the scene or found at asuspectBs house.

7r&&"% M)r,(

/y far the most common impressed action marks on cartridge cases are breech marks. "ost firedcartridge cases are identified as having been fired by a specific firearm through the identification of

breech marks.

0ery high pressures are generated within a firearm when a cartridge is discharged. These pressuresforce the bullet from the cartridge case and down the barrel at very high velocities. hen a firearmis discharged, the shooter will feel the firearm 6ump rearward. This rearward movement of thefirearm is called recoil. !ecoil is for the most part caused by the cartridge case moving rearward asan opposite reaction to the pressures generated to force the bullet down the barrel.



170

hen the head or base of the cartridge case moves rearward, it strikes what is called the breech faceof the firearm. The image below shows the breech face of a ;) &auge, single-shot shotgun.

The breech face rests against the head of the cartridge case and holds the cartridge case in thechamber of the firearm. hen the head of a cartridge case slams against the breech face, the negativeimpression of any imperfections in the breech face are stamped into either the primer of the

cartridge case or the cartridge case itself. The image below shows the primer of a shotshell fired inthe above shotgun.

/reech marks come in various forms. Those seen above are called parallel breech marks because themarks are a series of parallel lines. (nother form of breech marks are circular breech marks. /reechmarks can also show no obvious pattern. They may have a stippled or mottled appearance.

EG&"tor M)r,(

+6ector marks are sometimes created when cartridges or cartridge cases are e6ected from the actionof a firearm. +6ector marks can be either striated or impressed but the impressed e6ector marks notonly can be used to identify a cartridge case as having passed through a firearmBs action they canalso be an indication that the cartridge case was fired in the firearm.+6ector marks can only be

produced when the cartridge cases were fired in the firearm and not by simply hand chambering ande6ecting a live cartridge.

Forensic firearm evidence is an overwhelmingly powerful tool. 1ow can the operative minimize theevidence he leaves behind at the scene of an assassination or sabotage attack with a firearm. 1ereare some guidelines to follow in order to minimize the evidence which a firearm attack will leave

behind.

- ith rifles and handguns, use only all-lead hollow point bullets unless the 6ob re2uires F"5 ammoto be used. ith an F"5 or other type of 6acketed bullet, the 6acket tends to get peeled back or rightoff but it retains the rifling marks mostly intact. ith an all-lead, hollow point bullet, on the otherhand, rifling marks tend to be obliterated. This is true even when fired into a soft target. In some

6urisdictions handgun caliber, hollow point bullets are banned. In this case the operative will have tofabricate his own. Pre-fragmented bullets, which are made from powdered lead, are also available.These bullets strike the target and are smashed into powder. This type of ammo does not have the

penetration power of the standard types but will leave not a trace of rifling impressions. %f coursecartridge case evidence must also be considered.

- ith shotguns the real concern is not the pro6ectile >most shotguns do not have rifling and

therefore impart no impressions on the shot or slug pro6ectilesA but the spent shells. The firing pinimpressions and other cartridge case marks can be used to match a shotgun to a crime if spent shellsare left behind. The spent shells must be retrieved in order to prevent evidence from being obtainedto link the weapon to the crime. This is usually not possible.

- ear gloves in order to prevent fingerprints on the weapon if it must be discarded hastily and to prevent gunshot residue from being present on your hands if you are apprehended.

- (mmo to be used in an attack can be chambered in and then manually e6ected from a firearm otherthan the one to be used. This will leave marks on the cartridge case which will confuse thee amination and make positive matching of weapon to the ammunition components more difficult.

- ( good trick is to use a weapon which does not e6ect spent shells >revolver or break-open typeshotgun or rifleA or is e2uipped with a brass catcher and then intentionally leave spent shells of asimilar type but fired from a different weapon behind. 'pent shells used for this should be obtainedwherever people go to shoot such as shooting ranges and garbage dumps. ( .H< special or .H@Emagnum revolver can cause a great deal of confusion when employed this way because they can fire

pro6ectiles which are identical to those fired by a. H< super, Lmm, .H< and a number of others. Thismeans that with a .H< or .H@E magnum if no shell casings are left behind the investigator canBt besure which type of weapon was used. If shell casings from a .H< super, for instance, are left at thescene of an attack where a .H< special was actually used the firearms investigator will have toconclude that a .H< super was used.

- (fter a firearm is used in an attack it will have to be destroyed, altered to remove identifiablecharacteristics or cached. If a weapon is to be destroyed, every part must be damaged enough tomake e amination impossible. The barrel, bolt head, firing pin, e tractor and e6ector must bedamaged beyond the possibility of e amination. In order to alter a weapon the barrel and firing pin,at minimum must be altered. The firing pin can be removed and replaced or ground slightly tochange the shape of its impression without much trouble. The barrel is a different matter3 the barrelwill have to be replaced. "ost handguns and rifles have barrels which can be removed. 1oweverreplacement barrels can cost more than the weapon is worth, in this case the best option is to cache

the weapon safely and make it a resource for the future. 'ee the section on eapons #aching fornotes on this.

Police investigators are able to gain 2uite a bit of information from even an e ploded bomb.Instrumental analyses of e plosives and residues can determine whether substances are highe plosive, low e plosive, or e plosive or incendiary mi tures3 whether the composition of thesubstances is consistent with known e plosive products3 and the type of e plosives. + plosiveresidue can be deposited on metal, plastic, wood, paper, or glass. !esidue may be deposited afterhandling, storing, or initiating an e plosive.

The operative must make every effort to minimize the amount and value of evidence which aninvestigator can obtain. 1ere are some guidelines for minimizing evidence in bombings:

- (n e ploded bomb will yield less evidence and will take much more time and effort to investigatethan an une ploded one. (lso, a bomb which fizzles makes you look unprofessional and less thancommitted, which reflects a similar appearance upon our whole movement. "ake sure your bombwill function.

- 9se the most commonly available components you can obtain.

- onBt purchase any parts which could be scrounged at 6unkyards or garbage dumps.

- 9se homemade propellant unless you are sure that the commercial propellant you use can not betraced. !emember the police 8Ident8 lab will be able to identify almost any commercial e plosivefrom 6ust one grain of it, it is even possible to identify an e plosive from its residue.

- !emove any labels, logos, serial numbers or distinguishing marks from bomb components such as batteries, clockworks, circuit boards or electronic delays as the investigator may be able to get batchor lot numbers from your components allowing them to discover when and where they were

purchased.

- /e sure to wear gloves during the entire process of constructing and delivering the bomb toeliminate the possibility of leaving fingerprints behind.

- onBt leave any hair, saliva, blood, clothing, vehicle or furniture fibers upon or within the bomb.The bomb investigator knows that this type of evidence often gets caught within the threads of a

pipe-bomb and can often survive the e plosion. This is another good reason to be sure that these parts are well cleaned and lubed. 'aliva can be used to obtain a *( sample, which is better than asigned confession to prosecutors. onBt lick the envelope or postage >or anything else for thatmatterA on a package or mail bomb.

- *ever purchase any bomb components with a credit card or check as this leaves a paper trail backto you. hen buying parts be sure not to draw attention to yourself, a purchase of )?, ;B threaded

pipe sections and ?< end caps will definitely raise suspicions and ensure that store employees and



173
