About your Improvised Munitions Handbook, there are other books on
related topics... I'm at work and cant reach for them. There's one on
Boobytraps... no s---, it's in the title, one on incendearies, one on
"Unconventional ------??? Techniques(a reference to the others) and a
book on how to build silencers, with performance charcteristics shown
on the test models.

From the catalog of the _BRIGADE QUARTERMASTER_ mail order
house,  they are described as; "Originally compiled and published in
limited form by the Frankford Arsenal for the CIA and Special Forces.
Vols I & II of the Improvised Munitions BLACK BOOKs contain more than
FM31-20 individually. Vol III contains over 50 prev. unpublished
articles...." The BOOBYTRAP book is FM5-31.

An Army surplus store close to my workplace has them; I've seen them
for sale in MANION's militaria auction house, too.

that's -OWARI- from GLOWWORM-7-9-4
