The ideal machine gun for the urban queredia is the Ina 45 calibre. Other types of machine guns of different cahbres can be used —-understanding, of course. the problem of ammunition. Thus at as preferable that the industrial potential of the urban quesrilla permit the production cf a single machine gun so that the ammunition used can be st. Each fising group of urban guerrillas must have a machine gun managed by a good marksman. The other components of the group must be armed with 38 revolvers. our standard arm. The .32 1s also useful for thase who went to participate. But the .38 is preferable since its impact usually puts the enemy our of action, Hand grenades end conventional smoke bombs can be considered light arms. with defensive power for cover and withdrawal Long barrel arms are more diffrcult lor the urban guerrilla to trans- port and attract much attention because of their size. Among the long barre! arms are the FAL. the Mauser guns or rifles. huating guns such as the Winchester, and others. Shotguns can be useful if used at close range and paint blank. They are useful even for a poor shot. especially at night when pre- cision isn’t much heip. A pressure airgun can be useful for training in marksmanship. Bazookas and mortars can also be used in action but the conditions for using them have to be prepared and the people who use them must be trained. The urban guerrilla should not try to base his actions on the use of heavy arms. which have major drawbacks in a type of fighting that demands lightweight weapons to insure mobility and speed. Homemade weapons are often as efficient as the best arms pro- duced in conventional factories, and even a-cut-off shotgun is a good arm for the urban guerrilla. The urban guerrilla's role as gunsmith has a fundamental im- portance. As gunsmith he takes care of the arms. knows how to repair them, and in many cases can set up a small shop for impro- vising and producing efficient small arms. 10 dardized. v we mp ett pre] 5 a meme mmr memes ee ear mag cen ee ee rg ee
