NOTE!: I strongly recommend you get these Manuals in original soft cover print. I have found some very unreliable E-Books/CDs out there. Not to mention you can take the books anywhere and I think they will soon be a collectors item. As well I recommend them for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY! I do not support the illegal use of the information contained in them. __________________________________________________ ____________________

Right hook books is another very reliable source to find the information you need. Not quite as extensive a collection as Paladin Press but none the less reliable.

check out the TM-31210...fun stuff.

[kbk]

Anyone have these on PDF or in a txt? Or shall I look on Limewire?

[blank stare]

Limewire will definitely have it. While you're at it, download the Bas Ruttin videos(or is it spelled Rutten?) and the other army/military/survival/self defense hand books. Really, just do a random search under .pdf file type and you'll get this kind of stuff.

[kbk]

Sweet I will start searchin now. Anyone ever hear of the Knob Creek Shoot videos? http://www.knobcreekshoot.com/Video.htm there are some samples, I found some longer ones awhile back but can't remember the site.

[Kaos-theory]

knob creek shoot viedos theyre crazy! some of the best action shooting vids ive seen just pure firepower

[kbk]

Nobody seems to have those Field Manuals...There are like 4 on there but no one on to download them from...I have looked online a bit too and turned up nothing, unless I wanted to buy them, which I dont..

[S25]

I have a hard copy of the Demolitions one and as time goes by i feel i will invest in the others.KBK i did a simple search and got one for ya
http://www.fortliberty.org/military-...handbook.shtml

[kbk]

Thanks S25...It's a shame it's not downloadable...I will keep looking around for them...Might buy them eventually..

[S25]

Get webzip and a crack and you can downlaod it and then with another program turn it into a CHM

[Douchermann]

Just go back up a couple steps on the website:
http://www.fortliberty.org/military-library/

[Jago]

I will sticky this thread so everyone can post links/sources to any useful literature/videos. For everyone's benefit

[sprott]

Where can you get the book on booby traps in uk or any other good ones on that subject that anyone can recommend and where to get on internet or in uk. Cheers

[Verdammnis]

old but hey history is something that repeats and knowledge is something that only changes form and gets corrected over time, never does it truly become useless

[GuyFawks]

Im having troubles finding those books on those websites. The closest thing ive found is this http://www.righthook.com/fm200cd.html and that has all the field manuals on a CD. Not exactly what i want. I still am in love with the nostalagia of the cup of coffee reading a book on a cold winters day. The smells of a new book and the pleasure i get as i turn every page. Basically i would like to know where i can get those manuals in print. Please and Thank You

Edit: All the books can be found here http://www.cheaperthandirt.com
Cheers

Yeah, Bas Rutten king of combat. Arguably one of the best MMA fighters of all time and perhaps one of the best teachers. He's worked with Duane Ludwig and Semmy Schilit, both kickboxing champions.

[deadmanwalking]

i am currently downloading a torrent which i believe includes most if not all of the above manuals in pdf format, bear with me and i will let ye know how i get on.

[ATSACIN]

Any one know a site were I can make download (pdf) about Explosives (in general), to read when I am not in the net

[Thelasttrueone]

I could make one. I have the improvised munitions handbook by far the most useful because it assumes you have military grade explosives less often.

[Shalshaska]

If anything, just stay off LimeWire to get these. The aforementioned Improvised Munitions Handbook is on there, one of the two decent ones on there.

[ATSACIN]

I have the Improvised Munitions Handbook but don´t talk much about HEs.
I am searching for TM 9-1910 Military Explosives.
Thanks.

[Matze]

ATSACIN: you don't need to search for mlitary explosives. there are: PETN, TNT, RDX and sometimes HMX. the primary explosive is usually lead azide... such explosives like C1-C4 are also used but they are expensive and you find them rather by any special forces...

[Widigo]

Where could I come across these books? I apologise if it's been said before, I am rather tired, and can't imagine that Books a Million will carry them.

[Shalshaska]

IMHO, books aren't nearly as good as a forum. Most of the things you could learn in an e-book could be found by using the search function on a forum, or just asking if nothing turns up.

But if you really want to read them, you can probably find them on whatever P2P system you use. Limewire, WinMX, Bearshare, etc. Just search for ext format, and search for "explosive" or "munition"

[Jago]

Libraries are a good source of info too

[alchemist]

here is a torrent that has alot of paladin press stuff:

http://www.bittorrent.am/torrent/509754/5/301/Paladin_Press_%7B_www_IPTorrents_com_%7D.html

the download speed is pretty fast, tho it takes about half a minute to get up to speed.[/code]
