: Work in metallurgy and on the mechanical fathe are basic skills the urban guerrilla should incorporate into his industrial planning. which is the construction of hememad: weapons, This construction and courses in explosives and sabotage must be organized. The primary materials for practice in these courses must be obtained ahead of time io prevent.an incomplete apprenticeship that is to say. so as to leave no room for experimentation. Molotov cocktails, gasoline. homemade contrivances such as cata- pults and mortars for firing explosives. grenades made of tubes and cans, smoke bombs. mines. canventional explosives such as dynainite and potassiam chloride, plastic explosives. gelatine capsules, ammuni-+ tion of every kind are indispensable to the success of the urban yuerrilla’s misson. The method of obtaining the necessary materials and munitions will be to buy them or ta take them by force in exprepriation actions especially planned and carried out. The utban guerrilla will be careful not to keep explosives and tratcrials that can cause accidents around fer very long. but will try always to use them mmmediaiely on thetic destined targets. The urban querrilla’s aris and his ability to maintam them con- stitute his fire power. By taking advantage of medern arms and mdroducmg ipnevations in his fire power and i the use of certain arms. the urban guernila can change many of the tactics of city ‘ warfare. An cxample of this was the innovation made by the urban vertillas in Baazil when they introduced the machine gua in their attacks on banks, When the massive use of uniform machine guns becomes possible. there will be new changes in urban guerrila warfare tactics. The firing group that utilizes uniform weapons and corresponding am- munition, with reasonable support for their maintenance. wil] reach a considerable level of efficiency. The urban guerrilla increases his efficiency as he improves his firing potential. The Shot: the Urban Guerrllia’s Reason for Existence The urban guerrilla’s reason tor existence. the basic condition in which he acts and survives. is to shoot. Tie urban guerrilla must know how to shoot well because it is required by his type of combat. In conventional warfare combat is generally at a distance with long range arms. In unconventional warfare, in which urban guer- rilla warfare is included, the combat is at close range, often very close. To prevent his own extinction, the urban guerrilla has to shoot first and he cannot err in his shot. He canrot waste his am- munition because he docsn't have large amounts, so he must save it. Nor can he replace his ammunition quickly. since he is part of a small group in which cach guerrilla has to take care of himself. The urban gucrrilla can lose no time and must be able to shoot at once. One fundamental fact, which we want to emphasize fully and 11 /s- ° bee eee Sena ioeithanntheimnetaathoaenared — Crna er A EE SS a a een a we ee _ ee a a Se ra ee EE "A A ah. i on REN fer aE - 7 = Pe
