slugs to knock the amour plate off

“Yue ‘te the brainwashing done by

are‘a lot of incorrect ideas about
firearms that must be cleared up,
The first thing to understand is,
there is no one piece (gun) that
covers any and ali situations. Al-

The assault rifle is either semi-
automatic or preferable one that
can be fired either semi-automatic
or fully automatic. The limit here
is that posed by the Iimit of the
enemy’s arsenal. Here we will
discuss the most common seen in
our communities carried by the
gestapo pig forces. The AR-15
caliber .223 is the semi-automatic
civilian model called ‘‘sporting”’
model of the M-16 used in Viet-

nam, The M-l6 fires either semi- 9357 MAGNUM

auto or fully auto. After the lives
of many brothers were lost in
Vietnam because the weapon was
new and untested, it has now been
de-bugged and is fairly reliable
It can be found on aJl military
bases and some gestapo policear-
senals. The AR-15 was taken off
the public market and has been
replaced by the AR-180 caliber
.223, The AR-180 does not appear
to be as good as the AR-15. How-
ever, many pig departments are
stocking up on them.

 

M-14

Another very good assault rifle

Fis the M-14 caliber 7.62MM Nato

(.308 in English). This is a very
good weapon although it has been
replaced by the lighter M-16 inthe
fascist military. Most national
guard units, at least here in Cali-
fornia, are equipped with the M-14.

revolvers. There are so many dif-
ferent brands and calibers, I will
only deal with what I consider to
be the best choices.

   

.3857 Magnum revolver made by

either Colt or Smith & Wesson.
It holds six shots and with armor
piercing ammo Is supposed to
crack an engine block. Many pig
departments have switched or are
switching from .38 special to .357
magnum. The less powerful .38
special just can’t match the .357.
There was an incident where a
brother was defending himself

against a pig and fired at the pig
with a .38 special, The bullet hit
the pigs badge and was deflected.
Had the brother been using a .357
magnum that would have been one
bar-b-cued pig.

pistols are called ‘‘automatic’’;

they really are semi-automatic.

revolver, in reality this is not
very practical and shouldn’t even
be attempted unless you are an
expert’s expert. From seeing too
much Wyatt Earp and Mat Dillon
too many peopie think that if they
have a hand gun either pistol or
revolver that they are ready for
anything, Ali that is necessary to
give you a different perspective is
to examine the armament of the
pigs that occupy our Black com-
‘munities anywhere in Babylon.
When you do that you will dis-
cover that most pig cars have at
least one .12 gauge pump or auto-
matic shotgun, one or two semi-
sutomatic or automatic assault
rifles, one or two bolt-action rifles
with a scope mounted for sniping
purposes, and, of course, the pigs
have strapped on at least one hand-
gun either an automatic pistol or
a revolver. In San Francisco, the
S.F, Tactical » Squad members
carry two handguns, their stand-
dard service revolver plus a
second handgun which is their per-
sonal preference, in many cases
an automatic pistol. So at this time
let's examine these three types
of weapons-the shotgun, the rifle,
and the handgun.

  

.L2 GUAGE

.12 GAUGE SHOTGUN: the pigs
use the shotgun, either pump or
semi-automatic, loaded with 00
buckshot generally in crowd
situations sugh as r-betlions. The
standard load is nine (9) buckshoi
pellets per shell, however there
is the magnum load 212 pellets per
shell. These magnum loads are to
be used only in magnum shotguns.
If you use magnum loads in a re-
gular, shotgun, you might not live
to tell it.

any -eriminals trying to enter un-
invited” Cuban guerrilas used shot-
guns very successfully in the rev~-
olutionary war led by Fidel Casi ro.
They would set up ambushes close
to roads usually only a few feet
away and shotguns loaded with 00
buck would have a devastating ef-
fect upon the occupants of cars
and/or trucks.

There is one thing about shot-
guns that possibly can be viewed
as in our favor at this time that
is that the barrell is smooth in-
side so it doesn’t put any marks
on the pellets; therefore, the pigs
can’t make an investigation based
on ballistic marks.

sible to seize power

The Thompson Sub-Machine gun
if in good working order is very
reliable in .45ACP caliber. It fires
either semi or fully auto. One re-
warding feature is it uses the*

same ammunitionasthe .45 auto- -

matic pistol cutting down on the
variety of ammunition necessary
for your stash. Check your local}
police/mafia arsenal.

   

The RIFLE: The bolt-action rifle
in .30-06 or .308 (7.62 MM Nato)
with a four (4) power scope (or
better) mounted is a sniping
weapn. A specialist piece. This
virulent (deadly) combination is
for one purpose, and one purpose
only-to fire ONE well placed shot.
So each self-defense unit needs
only one such weapon at this time.
There is nothing else to say about
that,

BOLT ACTION

Finally the age-old Ml-Garand
caliber 30-06. Very good, plenty
of them around, heavy and accurate
way out, easy to get and plenty
of ammo around, Check your pawn
shops and gun shops also some
national guard units and college
ROTC units have them readily
available.

The M1-30 caliber carbine? Use
it for target practice and train-

Assault rifles are to be used in
fire fights, more commonty known
as shoot-outs. People waztes wars
of liberation around the worid aiso
use assault rifles to annihialate
(wipe out) their enemy's in am-
bushes and in- counter attacks

against fascist militazy outpost.

HANDGUNS: There are two
_ types, semi-automatic pistols and

9MM

every, shot, I recommend the |
Browring 9MM automatic. It comes
with a 13 shot magazine. If you
sut oné’in the chamber that means
14 shots available. If you’re up
against someone with a 6 shot
revolver, they will have to re-
load 2 times and you've still got
two shots left. You can also pur-
chase a 21 shot magazine. That's
a lot of fire power for a hand-

 

.45 Automatic pistol, Thisis still
the sidearm issued to the US
fascist inilitary troops. They also
can be purchased in stores. There
also seems to be a lot of these
available in the streets. Check
with your local street merchants.

Even if you have the finest self-
defense weapons they areno better
than clubs if you don’t know how

to use them. By the same token :

if you practice, it is possible to
get good enough to kill elephants
with a .22. However with enough
practice withthe above mentioned

weapons and being armed ideolog-
ically with the invincible thought
of the Black Panther Party, itis
possible like the Panthers who
were attacked in Los Angeles in
December to be a match for one
nundred.

Robert Allen, Black Awakening In
Capitalist America
Doubleday $5.95

 

While Cruses Crisis of the

Negro Intellectual is probably
the best socio-cultural

analysis of the Black movement,
Brother Allen has surely written
the most astute politico-economic
analysis of todays currents in
the liberation struggle. This
book more clearly than any

other points out the need for
total revolutionary change in
facist Amerikkka; giving a real
analysis instead of just falling
back on rhetoric. He points

out how there are two kinds of
Black Power: bourgeiose and
Revolutionary. He points out
flaws in some of the simple
solutions that musters of rhetoric
have thrown out in the past.
