Improvised Munitions Combined with OPERATOR'S MANUAL GRENADE LAUNCHER, 40-MM: M203, GRENADE LAUNCHER, 40-MM: M203A1

Purpose and Scope

In Unconventional Warfare operations it may be impossible or unwise to use conventional military munitions as tools in the conduct of certain missions. It may be necessary instead to fabricate the required munitions from locally available or unassuming materials. The purpose of this manual is to increase the potential of Special Forces and guerrilla troops by describing in detail the manufacture of munitions from seemingly innocuous locally available materials.

Manufactured, precision devices almost always will be more effective, more reliable, and easier to use than improvised ones, but shelf items will just not be available for certain operations for security or logistical reasons. Therefore the operator will have to rely on materials he can buy in a drug or paint store, find in a junk pile, or scrounge from military stocks. Also, many of the ingredients and materials used in fabricating homemade items are so commonplace or innocuous they can be carried without arousing suspicion. The completed item itself often is more easily concealed or camouflaged. In addition, the field expedient item can be tailored for the intended target, thereby providing an advantage over the standard item in flexibility and versatility.

The manual contains simple explanations and illustrations to permit construction of the items by personnel not normally familiar with making and handling munitions. These items were conceived in-house or, obtained from other publications or personnel engaged in munitions or special warfare
work. This manual includes methods for fabricating explosives, detonators, propellants, shaped charges, small arms, mortars, incendiaries, delays, switches, and similar items from indigenous materials.

OPERATOR'S MANUAL GRENADE LAUNCHER, 40-MM: M203, GRENADE LAUNCHER, 40-MM: M203A1

The grenade launcher M203 is a single shot weapon designed for use with the M16 series rifles and fires a 40-mm grenade. It has a leaf sight and a quadrant sight. The grenade launcher M203A1 is a single shot weapon designed for use with the M4 series carbines.

The quick release bracket is used on M4 and M4A1 carbines equipped with the M4 Adapter Rail System and on M16A4 rifles equipped with the M5 Adapter Rail System.
