oldbillthundercheif said:"The Anarchist's Cookbook" that I saw way back when was deffinately not compiled from field manuals. It's a poorly-illustrated book of booby traps and dope-freak parphenalia put together by a bunch of hippies who have obviously never dealt with live ordinance. Most of the junk in it would never work, and the few things that would function would be more dangerous to whoever would try to build them than the intended target.
I got a copy of that book and as an amatur pyrotechnic chemist I can honestly say those formulas are very dangerous and unstable. I never made them, I am just saying I can tell because I know about chemicals.
I got quite a few full auto conversion books in my collection. I just like to read them for entertainment purposes. It's so cool to see how easy it is to convert a gun that normally costs $300 into a gun you would have to pay $15,000 to own legally.
