That northover picture looks like it's shooting a glass bottle


Che Guevara in the book Guerrilla Warfare describes a molotov cocktail launcher using a 16ga shotgun, with a broomstick and a piece of tire rubber attached to the glass molotov cocktail.

This is the closest image I could find.

That's an interesting page Mangudai! I'm going to have a good look at those 'insurgency' manuals on the right.

Mangudai, an...interesting article....I wouldn't depend on it when looking for information on government, however.

It is.

That home-made "mortar launcher" is crazy. Wouldn't want to fire that. (The guy who wrote that blog isn't the smartest it would seem, but I digress).

I was just searching for an image. I don't read commie websites very often. Though I did read Che Guevara's book Guerrilla Warfare. It's worth a read.


Actually I didn't read that website thouroghly until three people commented on it.

One tactic that deserves discussion is the "stiffening of protests," a favorite of urban guerrilla groups. Basically members of insurgent groups go to protests of sympathetic social movements and act as agitators, encouraging the group to clash with the police. By inviting acts of repressive violence upon the group and responding in kind, the guerrilla creates even more discontent and distrust of the government among the populace. Now this can be problematic as the guerrillas are basically co-opting a peaceful demonstration and bring harm upon their unsuspecting comrades. However, in this day and age the police often don't need to be provoked into making mass arrests and/or firing tear gas and pepper spray into the crowd. I find it shocking that, for example in Mexico protesters wield machetes and Molotov cocktails and fight back against "riot" police while in the U.S. activists just stand there and take it while they are tasered and gassed.
