Work in metallurgy and on the mechanical Jathe are basic skills the urban querrilla should incerporse into his industnal planning. which is the construction of hewemads weapons, This construction and courses in explosives and sabotage must be organized. The primary materials for practice im 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 tiring explosives. grenades made of tubes and cans, smoke bombs. nunes, Conventional explosives such as dynamite and potassiam chloride, plastic eNplosives, gelatine capsules, ammuni- tion of every kind are indispensable to the success of the urban yucrrilla’s misson The method of obtaining the necessary materials and munitions will be to buy them or ta tke them by force in expropriation actions especially planned and cariied out The urban guerilla will be careful not to keep explosives and smatersals that can cause aceients around fer very long. but will try alw. to use them immediately on their destined targets. ‘The urban guerrilla’s arms and his ability to maintam them con- stitute his fire power. By taking advantage of medern arms and iniroducmg amovations in his fire power and im the use of certain arms. the urban guerrilla can change many of the tactics of city warfare. An example of this was the innovation made by the urban guerillas in Brazil when they introduced the machine gun in their attacks on banks. When the massive usc of uniform: machine guns becomes possible, there will be new changes in urban guerrilla warfare tactics. The finng group that utilizes uniform weapons and corresponding am- munition, with reasonable support for their maintenance. will reach a considerable level of efficiency. The urban guerrilla increases his efficiency as he improves his firing potential. The Shot: the Urban Guerrilia’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 Jong 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 guerrilla can lose no time and must be able to shoot at once. One fundamental fact, which we want to emphasize fully and 11
