U.S. Army Guide to Boobytraps

Description:

This official U.S. manual is the complete guide to using and dismantling boobytraps.

Little is more dangerous to U.S. forces fighting insurgents in hot spots around the world than improvised explosive devices. It’s the weapon of choice for under-funded forces aimed to attack American soldiers with low risk to themselves.

Here you can learn how to assemble, use, detect, and remove boobytraps and demolition items in almost any situation. With intricate and detailed diagrams, you’ll discover how army troops can disguise boobytraps in household items such as irons, teapots, and televisions; in structures such as window frames, stairways, and wooden beams; and in outdoor areas, in bushes and underground. Find out how boobytraps work, why they are used in the army, and the tactics behind their set-up. Learn the mechanics of the various types of firing devices, detonators, fuses, cords, adapters, blasting caps, and lighters. Also included are detailed instructions for detecting and removing boobytraps.

The U.S. Army Guide to Boobytraps explains the responsibilities and safety issues that should be thoroughly understood by anyone using any weapon. Any military enthusiast will appreciate the level of detail this field manual offers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful info

A.C. · May 13, 2022

Its a useful little booklet, approx 130 pages in length. No photos, only sketches but the info is quite detailed - probably needs updating as it has the feel to me that it was written 20 yrs ago. Best would be if you know an army friend so that you can try out some of these ideas in the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as advertised.

A lot of fantastic information for using both manufactured and improvised booby traps. It would be very useful if we find ourselves in a world without rule of law.
