Introduction

The present volume is a continuation of a series of monographs on weapons

use by individual combat personnel, i.e. submachine guns, grenades, etc.

As in previous volumes, the emphasis is on simplicity without sacrificing the

product performance. Simple design, simple processes and common language

terms are used. It is common in any professional field to show-off expertise by

using words or phrases, which although correct and proper, could be substi-

tuted with simple ones. Example, "decanting" is substituted for "pour-off" and

"at this point in time" is simplified to "now."

The format of presentation is similar to that used by junior college science

laboratory texts. Preference is given to pictures and sketches over words. How-

ever, it must be noted that this text is intended as an introduction into the field

only. It is a theoretical study, even though the processes and safety instructions

are based on data and expertise of ordnance and military specifications.

It is emphasized that the processes described are dangerous due to the sen-

sitive nature of the materials used. Furthermore, possession and construction of

these devices is subject to Federal, State, and local laws and regulations requir-

ing special license.

Lastly, the author and publishers do not in any way promote or solicit adver-

tising for or against any products or manufacturers mentioned in the text.

Historical Notes

The method of incapacitating targets by blinding has been used since the

beginning of time, by insects, animals and man. The first written reference is on

Archimedes who used shields as mirrors to reflect sunlight into the eyes of at-

tackers at Syracuse, Sicily in 212 BC. The Byzantine emperor Basil II, in 1014 blinded

his prisoners of war permanently eliminating them as future enemies. Renais-

sance princes blinded their political opponents for the same reason. In both

instances the humane influence of the Church, "thou shall not kill." was ob-

served.

The various gases used in WW I not only destroyed the lung tissue, but also

had the secondary effect of attacking the eye of the target. The use of illumi-

nating flares in night fighting as means of temporary blinding also limited use in

WW II.

Lasers to blind the pilots and/or the crews of anti-aircraft guns did receive

favorable attention in some quarters in recent years. Lastly, the blinding effect

of the flash became a favorite method of incapacitation of terrorists by the

various commando units.

Warning

The manufacture of explosives such as flash/stun grenades is illegal without

proper authority and licenses from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Fire-

arms. Do not use this book to construct the described parts and grenades with-

out licenses and authorization from this agency. Further, authorization from the

proper agencies on the local and state level may be required.

The procedures in this book are dangerous and result in products that are

extremely dangerous. Whenever dealing with explosives of any type, all pre-

cautions as set forth in industry standards for experimentation and production

of high explosives should be strictly adhered to. Failure to strictly follow the in-

dustry standards may result in either physical injury or death. Therefore, the in-

formation in this book is presented solely for academic purpose only. Neither

the author, publisher nor distributors of this book assume any responsibility for

the use or misuse of information contained herein.
