The C.S.A. Survival Manual

THE C.S.A. SURVIVAL MANUAL

I

INTRODU CT I ON

"The Lord is exalted. He dwelleth on high. The

fear of the Lord is His treasure."

There are numerous survival books on the market today but none such as this. They te11 you about

physical preparation and self-sufficiency and in so

doing serve a good and useful function. But... there

is more !

In telling you about financial collapse, nuclear r^rar, famine, rioEs and a host of other calamities, they do not reveal all the truth!

It is simple!

The planet earEh is about to become the

battle-ground between the forces of God, led by Jesus Christ,

King of Kings, Lord of Lords and the serpent, father of

deceit, Satan and his seed, the satanic blood-line Jews and those who have been deceived or bought off.

As survivalists, the odds are hopeless. But...

as Christians, WE HAVE READ THE BOOK! WE KNOW HOW IT ENDS! Those who endure to the end shall be saved!

We at C.S.A. have been called to serve Jesus, to

be counted among His army, to help prepare His people. hle are not in this for money or personal gain. We are

here to serve. A11 praise to our Lord Jesus Christ!

A11 blessings upon Him!

This manual is one of the ways that Jesus has

or-dained for us to raise His Standard among His people.

We urge you to turn your life over to Jesus, to praise

His name before all.

Christians are headed for the tribulation. The

days ahead are a chance to truly show our love and faith in God. Do not let rhe judgments Ehat are about to fa11

turn you against God. UndersEand that this is the

clean-sing process needed before the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus

Christ can be established. A11 the pain, suffering and

travail that is coming will vanish like dew in the

noon-day sun. It will vanish and be as nought in the glory

of our Lord.

-2-CITY SURVIVAL?

As instructors at the C.S.A. Survival School, we are often asked about survivat in the city. We have

yet to find one major city in the U.S. worth dying

in or living for. Two things are destined to happen

in the coming collapse of our nat.ion:

1) Internal Warfare---This consists of racial riots, looting, and gang crime uprising. Does

this sound familiar? It should; it has hap-pened in major U.S. cities before. you _can

expect a 1ot more in the future.

2) Terrorism---This is the new warfare that the USSR and other Communistic countries are

al-ready trained in. The idea behind terrorism

is to cause deterioration in military and ci-vilian morale by the constant threat of

bomb-ings, kidnappings, murderings, rapes, etc.

Fear is ministered by burning or physical

mu-tilation to live captives. The only people

in the U.S. that are even partly trained in anti-terrorism tactics are police SWAT

(Spe-cial Weapons arid Tactics) teams. On a large

scale terrorist attack, there wouldntt be a fraction of needed personnel to fill SWAT

po-s itions .

Where are Ehese two types of revolution going to

take place most of the time? The communistic belief

is if you control the cities, your11 control the

country; note Afghanista'n, South Africa, poland, and

others, and _{terrorism is in the cities first.}

Have you ever seen a bloody, grotesque half-rotten

animal or even a human body _{before? If not, it is} enough to make you sick if you get close to it. Now,

imagine this on a large scale---1etrs say half the people _{in your city get killed and their dead bodies}

are tying in the streets unburied. Sounds like a pretty bad environment _{to live in, doesntt it?} No one likes thinking about this, for it is not. a very

pleasant subject, nevertheless reality must be met

tace to face.

-3-During the

rioting

and terrorism, things are

go-ing

to

come

to

a stand

sti11.

This means

affer

just

three days, there

will

be no food

in

the

cities!

Now, hunger does strange things

to

a personts

rea-soning. If

you have food and another man doesntt,

but he has a gun, what do you think

will

happen?

Thatrs

pretty

easy

to

answer!

Water

will

be a problem. There

will

noE be any good

water.

This, combined wiEh starvation and

liv-ing condit.ions,

will

cause disease. No one

will

be

immune

to this in

the cities !

Here's something else

to consider.

The prisons

and

jails

are going

to

open and the prisoners are

going

to

be

freed!

One

third of all

U.S.

Military

arms are now

missing.

Naturally, some

of

these guns

are

in

the prisonerst hands now. No one

will

be safe anywhere

at all in

the

city.

No building

will

be

left

standing when the dust clears.

Much more could be said about the coming Eimes,

all of it

most unpleasant. What can be done? This

manual,

in

the following pages,

will

hopefully help

the reader

to

know what

to

do and how

to

survive.

-5-Chapter One:

FIREARMS, WEAPONS, KNIVES,

AND GEAR

-6-FIREARMS

The liberals and communists have so far failed to

prohibit private ownership of firearms in this country.

While you can 1egal1y do so, v/e urge you to invest in

several firearms for the family. Firearrns fa1l under

two categories, defensive and hunting. Most firearms can be used in both functions, often very effectively.

The following firearms are ones we recommend though

there are other fine firearms not listed here. They are

not the most expensive nor are they the least. The performance of the weapons we recommend is outstanding

in all cases. Shotgun

For close-up shooting, the shotgun should be one of

the first guns to consider for survival. Because of their versatility they can fulfil1 most needs. With small

shot you can hunt any smal1 game and with buckshot or

slugs, most larger animals. Number 4 buck is best for

defense against people and Breneke slugs can stop a car

in its tracks.

Many good shotguns are produced in this country and

abroad. Several can be recommended here as top choice

for survival. Since its introduction in the early 1950's,

over three million Remington 870ts have been made. The

870 is a rugged, dependable American-made !/eapon. It is a pump shotgun. It can be fitted with an extension

tube to allow up to 10 shells (shotgun ammo is referred

to as shells) at one time. Other accessories can be added to make this a formidable combat \{eapon. These

include the pistol grip stock, sling, folding stock and

extension clamps. We recommend a 20 inch barrel with

an 8 shot extension. The very end of the barrel is

where the choke is. A 20 inch barrel with a modified choke will shoot as good as a 26 inch barrel with

modi-fied choke, plus it is shorter.

The Ithaca Model 37 is also a very fine pump. It has advantages as well as disadvantages when compared

to the Remington 870. The Ithaca can be fired without

letting off the trigger---Just pump it and hold on! A

-7-Remington 870: Slug Barrel and Sling With Assault Pistol Grip, New Forearm, & Barrel Extension Regular Stock With Barrel Ext.ension _Slug Barrel Extra Barrel

folding stock, however, will not fit on the Ithaca be-cause of an operating rod that comes out the back.

Ithaca, incidentally, manufactures a riotgun that is

ready right out of the box, which has a seven shot ex-tension.

Other shotguns, in the semi-automatic style, which

we prefer are the Remington 1100 and the Benelli, dis-tributed by Heckler and Koch. By semi-automatic, it is

meant to fire repeatedly by simply pulling the trigger, without individual pumping of shotgun. Each of these

weapons will fire until empty of shells with each

depres-sion of the trigger, Seven shots, seven trigger pu1ls. Shotgun ammunition should be purchased in more than one variety. You will want to acquire slugs for blg

game, number 7L shot for birds, number 4 buck for

self-defense, and possibly 00 buck for self-defense. Number

4 buck conEains 27 LethaL pellets and number 00 buck

contains 9. Remember, the sho-tgun is a close-shot

weap-on. After 40 yards, it begins to lose penetration power and the pattern dispurses greatly.

The shotgun, particulary a short barreled one, is ideal for heavy woodland, thick brush and defense of home. It is an ideal weapon to add to a sma1l squad of

five or more men.

Don't aim a shotgun---you point shoot. Point

shoot-ing is developed by practice. Using this method you

point the spray of shot in the direction of the target

and 1et her rip. It takes practice. Most people have

a natural t.endency to shoot high.

Rifles

We urge you to choose from these two calibers rn

that they serve as our current military rounds _---.223

or .308.

The .308 is a more powerful and larger bullet. IE

is both an ideal combat and snipi.ng caliber. It will also bring down most North American game animals easily. Hits can easily be made by average shooters in the 250

yard range.

The .223, however, _{is our current military} round

designed to fit M-16 rifles. It is fast and sma1l.

-9-The Ruger Mini-I4:

With Telescoping Stock and Pump Bolt

With Regular Wood Stock

With Folding Stock

In Stainless Steel

30, 20, and 5 Round Magazines shown at left.

10-IL will kill

any animal up

to

a

_{white-tail &er}

and

certainly a man.

It is

more easily defected by grass

or

twigs than the .308 but

is lighter

and more anmo

can be

carried.

We advise you

to

use

soft

point ammo

for

anti-personnel, while using

military ball

ammo for

anti-vehicle purposes or when more penetration

is

de-sired.

In

.308, there are four weapons worthy

of

recommend-ation.

The

first is

the German manufactured, H&K 91.

This

is

a very advanced r^reapon and yet retains a

mech-anical

simplicity that

al1ows

for

easy maintenance. The drawback

is

both price and

availability of parts.

The

unquestioned

reliability

and ruggedness

of this

weapon

make

it

top choice

_{for .308. It will}

also function in

adverse weather and when

dirty. It will

feed

flawless-ly

on any conmon

military or

commerical ammunition and

also on quality

reloads.

These

rifles

come equipped

with one

clip

when purchased. Spares are expensivel but

try to

locaEe the steel

clips

rather than the aluminum.

Also

in

.308, we recommend the M

1-A.

This

is

the semi-automatic

civilian

version

of

the U.S. Army M-14. The M-14 was a

truly

superior

battle

weapon. Current models lose

their

warranty

if

any type ammunition except

military ball is used.

This weapon

is

extremety

accu-rate. It

runs near

in

price

to

the H&K 91 but surplus

M-14 magazines and parts are available at much more reasonable rates.

The Remington 700

bolt

action

is

a good :lection

for

hunting and

for

sniper

work.

I^/ith a good scope

this rifle

can be accurate up

to

1000

yards.

The scope

you purchase should be a name brand

like

Vleaver,

Bush-nel1, Redfield

or

one

of similar quality.

Stay away

from cheap scopes. The Remington 700

is

the

rifle

our

Military

uses

for sniping

purposes.

The Ruger M77

is

also a very

fine

bolt-action weapon.

Again, with a

quality

scope,

it

can be very accurate.

Ruger also has an M77V which

is

a heavier barreled

rifle---very,

very accurate!

The .223 weapons are 1 ighter and easier

to

carry

than the .308

ones. If

you

are

a smaller person they

1-Heckler & Koch

91

(.308)

Armalire

(.223)

M1-A ( .308 )

-t2-may be an excellent

choice.

The .223 rif.Les are also more affordable with parts, magazines and accessories

readily availabl"e.

Top

of

the

list in

our opinion

is

the Ruger Mini-14.

This

is

essentially a cutdown version

of

the

M-14. It

is

a

fine

piece

of

American-manufacture and

will

func-tion in

adverse weather and when

dirty

through use, such

as

it

would experience

in

a

firefight.

An

entire

line

of

accessories that make

this

a combat-ready weapon are

availabLe. The Ruger Mini-14

is

easy

to

care

for,

breaks

down simply and

is

a rugged and durable weapon.

We also recommend the Armalite AR-180.

It is

more expensive than the Ruger but

it

too

is

a strong,

re-liable

vreapon.

It is

a very accurate

rifle

The AR-15 (civiLian model

of

the M-16) can also be

a good

choice. It

can be bought

in

several different

styles.

A CAR, which

is

a short carbine,

is

available.

There

is

also the standard model, plus one

that is

very

rare,

a heavy-barreled AR-15,

If

kept clean Ehese

wea-pons are extremely

reliable

and durable.

223

or

.308 ?

There are several things

to

consider before

choos-ing which caliber

is

more suitable

for

your use. There has been a

battle for

quite some time now as to which

caliber

( _.LZZ or .308

) is

best

.

Both

r

'i- _ibers are very good. More emphasis should be

put

other

f ac t.ors

_,

al so .

Man

or

animal

is killed

by a good combination of

rifle,

cartridge, and

shooter.

The most important,

of

course,

is

the

shooter. If

the shooter cannot

comfortably handle

his

or her

rif1e,

then

it

becomes

useless.

The weight and size and strength

of

an individual

is

a

factor to consider. In

a combat situation

it

of-ten becomes necessary

to

carry extra anlmo.

If

you

weigh 120 pounds, carrying 200 rounds

of

.308 plus

rifle

and other necessary gear, by the time you get to

your target you would be too lrorn out

to

wage war.

13-G=EI

Ml Girand (30.06 Cal.) M1-A1 (.308 Caliber) H-K 91 ( ..308) with rele-scoping Stock

When considering hunting purposes for a rif1e, the .223 is fine for white tail deer, but if you

hunt mule deer, elk, or moose then the .308 would

probably be better. Militarily, you have Eo go

in more detail of use. For instance the .223,

be-ing lightweight, is more effective in the offensive

mode, whereas the .308 is better for covering fire

and longer distance shooting. One argument against

the .223 is its speed and size at times will cause

it to simply go through a man or animal, wounding them instead of killing them. The culprit, though

is not the caliber used, but the fact that the .223

was military-bal1.

If using the .223 caLiber against man or beast, use soft point ammo. The only time you should use

military ball is when you want to achieve more

pe-netration power, such as against a vehicle, a house

or against bunker positions.

The .308 will be more effective for penetration.

You can also find armor piercing projectiles for the

.308; you canrt for the .223. If shooting in an

area where there are lots of brush, trees, shrubs,

etc, the .308 will have better brush busting

qua-lities. The heavier bullet will not deflect as

easily. The .223, on the other hand, will deflect fairly easily.

As mentioned earlier in this article, the .308

will shoot accurately farther. The effective range

of the.308, in a good rifle, wiEh a good shooter,

is about 1000 yards. The .223 under the same

con-ditions will shoot accurately Eo 500 yards. But

both of these can vary \,rith different loads, wind

and weather conditions, rif1e, and shooter. The

last thing to consider before spending your money

on a .223 or .308 is the ballistics. Some of the

ballistics are irrelevant, because the 2 calibers

have some similarities such as velocity and trajec-t.ory. The two biggest differences are bullet

weights and energy. The following chart will show

the differences. The bul1et weights are measured

in grains and the energy is measured in foot pounds.

As will be seen the .308 has more knock down povrer

than the .223, and also retains more down range.

In

conclusion, the .223 good

calibers.

Both have advantages.

.22 CalTber Rifles

and the .308 are both

their

advantages and

dis-There are many qualities that make ownership of

a .22 caliber weapon a desirable idea. It is the most common form of bullet manufactured in the

en-tire world. If any ammunition at all will be avail-able after the collapse, it r^Ii11 be the .22.

There is one .22 ca1-lber rifle we recommend, which would serve in a pinch for self-defense and remov;rI of predators or hunting of smal1 game. lrle recommend the Ruger lO-22 very highly. It is

accurate, rugged and American-made. It uses a

10-shot rotary magazine. Extra magazines should be

purchased. It can also be equipped with a 25-round banana clip type magazine. It is relatively easy

to clean and care for. It is probably the most

popular .22 among survivalists.

Other advantages of the .22 is that it is light

and the weapons that fire it seldom weigh over six

pounds and some are as light as ZLa pounds.

An excellent technique for using the .22 rif1-e

for self-defense is for when your position is under

seige, srarn the enemy that yourve got a rifle and -

16-E}I

.22'2 Remington Nylon 66 Ruger 10-22 Carbine Ruger 10-22 Sporter Edirion AR7

fire off a single .22 shoL. They will feel rela-tively bold against this underpowered weapon. Then when they approach you, use the shotguns and

defensive semi-auto rifles.

Recently a new line of ammunition has entered

the market. It is the hyper-velocity

hollow-point .22. The fastest is known by the brand name

STINGER. MosE gun stores stock it. It is very

powerful ammunition and up to half of your .22

vol-ume should be of this type. It is not as good for small game because it makes a large and damaging

hole. .22's do not have the knock-down, penetration

or accuracy of regular high velocity long rifles ' Ha.ndguns

When choosing a handgun you have two choices,

revolver (wheelgun) or semi-auro. The handgun is

a back-up weapon and should never be thought of as

a primary weapon. The Colt Government .45, our

first choice, is readily available and is an awe-some manstopper. It has functioned as the U.S.

Service sidearm for over 70 years.

There are also copies of this .45 from

Argen-tina and other put-togethers which with minor

ad-justments are of high quality. These are usually

a little cheaper in price.

There are also other handguns that we recommend.

Heckler and Koch makes many fine pistols. The only

problem is who can get extra parts. Browning and

Baretta both make fine 9mm pistols also. These

hold 14 (Browning) and 16 (BaretEa) shots' Both

are of the highest quality. If you decide to go with 9mm, use hollow point ammunition. If you're

not going to use hollow points, You need to stick

with the .45 caliber. Any caliber smaller than the 9mm should be avoided, except the .22.

There are .22 caliber handguns that are ideal

for women or for backup pieces. These include the Ruger Mark I and the Erma Excam RX 22. Both

re-quire magazines as purchased spares.

1B-.45 or 9mm?

'After _{hearing the same o1d story about how .45ts}

are so much better than 9mmrs, and visa versa, CSA

decided to do some tests of its own. We tried to

be as open-minded as possible, since we like both

calibers. To get an equal appraisal of each other,

first we must consider the use of the weapon. In

this case, it is as a defensive weapon, not as a Earget pistol. Therefore, this article wontt

con-cern itself with superior accuracy, but of

effect-iveness against flesh. We were able to best

simu-late flesh by taking magazines and soaking them in water, making sure the water penetrated between all of the pages. After awhile they fluffed up. We

ended up with about 14 inches of spongy, flesh-like material. We used a 1911 Colt Military model .45

and one of equal quality, the Browning Hipower 9mm.

hle then tested 3 basic types of ammunition: lead

hollow point, and Military Ba11. Most pistol

fights occur between 5-25 feet, so the tests were stepped off for 20 feet. Here is the result of the

tests: Lead hreight Velocity Energy Penetration Expans ion Weight Velocity Energy Penetration Expans ion .45 230 grains 850 fps 370 pounds 7 inches None .45 185 gr. 1000 fps 370 lbs. 6 3/4

Conclusions: As you can see in the lead bul-let, neither caliber has an advantage over the o;

ther---the .45 has only 29 pounds more knock-down

power than the 9mm. The 9mm has 3 inches more pe-netration, however. In the Hollow Point, although

the .45 had more knock down, the 9mm mushroomed

very large (5/8"), making a very impressive wound

cavity. In the Military Ball category, neither

ca-liber has much of an advantage.

Therefore although both calibers with the right

ammo can be very effective in combat situations, the 9mm is very impressive in its tests. BoEh

ca-libers have been in service for quite some

time---the .45 since 1905 and the 9mm since 1902. Both

have been proven and proven again. The 9mm allows

you to carry more ammo in your _magazine; the

Hi-power carries 14, the Baretta carries 16, and the

Heckler and Koch has one that holds an enormous 18

rounds. .45 ammo and brass seems a 1itt1e easier

to find. They both have their ups and downs, but

it is seen that the 9mm deserves its fair share of credi t .

Fu11y _Au.tolnatics

Concerning fully automatic r{reapons, we

discour-age the use of them in the hands of an untrained

shooter. Because of ammunition loss due to inef-fective firing and the fact that often times the use

of t'machine gunst' tends to make the inexperienced

-2t-survivalist not learn how to shoot semi-automatic (and thereby making each shot count), we advise

that only if you are willing to spend a lot of ammo novr, in order to practice and therefore get

acquain-ted with your r^reapon, should you even consider fully automatics. Even then, in purchasing the weapon,

make sure that it has "selective firer" enabling you

to shoot ful1y-auto or semi-auto.

In certain situations the ful1y automatic can

come in very handy in the hands of one who is

know-ledgable. In other events, it is often

over-drama-tized on Ehe screen. If you do desire the

selec-tive-fire weapons, then contact a reputable gun

dealer concerning state and federal regulations

first, and purchase a v/eapon where parts are easily

accessible.

I^Je recommend the M-16 and M-14 in the assault

rifle, and the MAC-10 Ingram or the Israeli UZI in

sub-machine gun classifications. Ammuni tion

Purchase 1000-2000 rounds of ammunition for each

weapon owned. Do not leave your clips or magazines

to your weapons loaded for more than two weeks,

with-out some rest given to the magazine springs. The

solution to the loaded magazine problem is to own spares. We recommend six to eight per weapon. Load

four and alternate every two weeks. The pump shot-gun should be kept loaded but an extra magazine

spring should be rotated every two weeks.

Remember, the only way you will ever be profi-cient withyour\deapon is to practice. Therefore,

much ammunition is required.

When sEoring ammunition it is best kept in a cool dry area and if in quantity use surplus G.I.

ammo boxes or other airtight containers. Do not

store gun oil or gun cleaning solvents in the same

area as your ammunition. Gun powder, primers and

loaded ammunition have a very long shelf life if

stored properly. Avoid high heat, high humidity and

direct exposure to sunlight for your ammo also.

-22-We suggest that if possible you do not buy cheap ammunition, except as practice shots. Budget ammo

is no bargain if it fails to shoot or it has less

power. I.Ie also urge you to investigate reloading.

We cannot cover this subject in the scope of this article, buE many books are available on the

sub-ject.

Cleaning Your Gun

The most important thing about firearm care is

how often you care about your firearm. Many fire-arms have been scarred by rust, most usually to

someonets embarrasement, due to neglect. The

fol-lowing are a few things that might help you take

care of your guns.

First of all, just because you dontt use your gun very often does not mean that you do not. have

to clean it very often. You should check on your

firearms at least once a week when not used, even

if you have it in a gun case. If you use your

fire-arm you should give it a thorough cleaning after

each use plus one checkup a week. If your gun is

used excessively you should check it every day and

clean it when necessary. Itrs better to overdo it

than to find a piece of rust that used to be your

pistol or rifle. If you live in a place where the

humidity is high you will have to clean your

fire-arms more oft.en Ehan if you live in a dry climate.

Also certain seasons of the year are more humid

than others. If you live on the coast you will

have to clean your weapon more. When you come home from hunting and you bring your rifle into a rdarm

house out of the co1d, it will sweat. Or when you use it on foggy mornings it r^rill collect moisture.

Other things besides moisture can also be bad

for a firearm, such as dirt and sand. One mistake most people always make is to over oil their gun.

If a little oil is good, then a lot is better. Right? Wrong! Why? Because oil acts as a magnet

to attract gritty things like dirt. This can cause more wear than you will gain from lubrication. Itrs

-23-better to use it dry than over-oiled. Another

thing is if you use any old ammunition, it might have corrosive primers. If so you must clean

your pistol or rifle with extra effort to make

sure you clean each part that comes in contact

with powder blast. If you don't your11 wind up

with pits in your metal.

Now that we've gone over things that can hurt your firearms, let I _{s talk on some preventive} mea-sures. If storing a gun for a prolonged period of time, use a heavy grade oil and store in plastic.

You can also geE moisture packs from gun dealers Eo put in with guns. These absorb any moisEure in the container. When you take the gun out, take the

oil off. When you clean your firearm brush the bore with solvent.

Kerosene makes an excellent solvent and best of all itts cheaper. Oil the gun and clean all

con-tact areas real good (contact area is where metal

slides against metal). Take oi1 off with a re.g

(use the same rag over and over---this will a1low

a very slight film of oil). If you 1ike, use a little lube on contact area but not much.

Remember always, an ounce of prevention is worth

a pound of cure. Keep your gun clean.

-24-RIFLEMANSHIP

Too often this essential ski1l is overlooked, taken for

granted, or deemed. unimportant. However, if this lesson

is learned first, a Christian warrior can be used

effec-tively in defense of his people. By being taught correctly,

he can be an effective part of the defense team.

STOCK WELD---Cheek should be locked against stock of rrf1e. rffiaesirab1ep1aceandconcentrateonputtingyour

cheek back in the same place every time.

TRIGGER SQUEEZE---Very importanE in accurate aiming. Squeeze

should be deliberate and uniform. Tip of index finger should

be used. This tends to isolate trigger motion from grip

re-action and rifle moEion. Squeeze should be at a rate that as

the sights of the gun rest on target, the squeeze sEarts,

and if sights vary, squeeze should be held in that position

and continued when sights align.

BREATH CONTROL---Should be concentraLed on and practiced

""tIT-lJ _{should take a} co*es _medium natural. _deep As _breath, sights are placed on _{letEing it out} target _normal1y.you

Take another breath, this Eime normal, and let it out s1owly about half way as you sEeady your sights. If you canrt get

your shot off before you get uncomfortable, Iet. breath ouE

and start over.

GRIP OF RIGHT IIAM---Right hand grasps the rifle stock

direct-@ Trigger finger is placed on trigger so

that. finger does not touch side of receiver. Wrap remaining

fingers firmly around rifle stock. A firm rearward pressure must be exerEed by right hand to keep butt of stock in its

proper position in the pocket of shoulder.

GRIP OF LEFT HAND---Rifle should rest in "V" formed by thumb

@ left hand, and lie across heel of hand. Grip

on handguard should be relaxed, but at the same time, slight

rearvrard pressure exerted. Left hand and wrisE should be re-laxed with fingers curled naturally around upper handguard.

Left elbow should be directly under weapon receiver. CORRECT SIGHT ALIGNMENT---Must include rear sight, front

ffiin their proper relationship known

as sight picEure. This is obtained when sighEs are perfectly

aligned and the Earget is in the correct relaEionship to

front sight post.

RIFLE BUTT POSITION---P1ace butt of sEock firmly into pockeE

@Proper placemenE lessens ef fect of recoil,

helps steady rdeapon and prevents butt from riding up on

shoutder.

AE - L)'

PRONE POSITION

Half face to the right of the target, then lie at an

angle of 45o to right of target. Left elbow should be

on the ground under rifle. Right elbow should be sloped

out more than the left. Let the forearm rest all the

way down in the palm. The sling loop should be tight.

Legs should be wide apart, close Eo the ground, feet

turned outward, inside of shoes on the ground.

KNEELING POS ITION

Face 45o to target, sit on right heel with body weight,

or you can sit on the side of your right foot. Left

knee should poinE toward target with left elbow resting

on or a little in front of the knee cap. Right elbow

should be parLllel to ground or as close as possible, and sti11 be comfortable. Lean a litEle forward to get

a good balance. s|

ASSAULT POSITION

Weapon usually slung on long

sling. Hold down on front of

\,reapon to prevent muzzle rise

from rapid fire. This

posi-tion is for close range fast assault on1y. It takes

prac-tice to achieve effective

accuracy.

STANDING POSITION Face 80o to target with feet

12-18" apart. Left elbow

should be directly under

sEock. Right elbow held

high or a little lower, if it is steadier. Hold rifle

medium hard to shoulder

wirh right hand. Index fin-ger of right hand should

not have any pressure on

it. rip of index finger is used in trigger pull,

thus when squeezed it rvi11

not disturb aim.

SITTING POSITION

Sling, arms, hands,

and rifle are in

same relative

posi-tion when shooting

prone. Half-face

target and sit down

45o to target. Rest elbows on knees,

left elbow and knee almost under rifle.

1-SHOOTING AT ACUTE ANGLES

When shooting at a target that is above or below

the shooter, the shooter must aim low to compensate

for the effect Ehat Ehe steep angle has on the bul-let trajectory.

The acuteness of the angle doesnrt physically affect the pqrformance of the bulleE nearly as much

as it affects the combination of the line of sight (tos), tine of departure (l,oD), and the bulleE tra-jectory or bullet drop which is always measured by

a vertical line.

Figure one illustraEes what happens when a rifle

is fired at a target at a certain range on a flat plane. Line of departure is the center line of the

bore of the rifle which is elevated to account for

the drop of the bullet for this given range.

Bul-let trajectory is the path the bulBul-let takes as it

drops from the line of departure. Line of sight is

the view you have of the targeE thru the rifle's

sights. Now, when Ehe rifle is sighted in to

im-pact the target at this given distance, the line of

departure was raised enough Eo cause the bullet

trajectory to cross the line of sight at the tar-get point. The bullet has now dropped, from gravi-tational forces and wind drag, a certain amount.

For ease of explanation wetre going to measure the

actual distance involved in the drawings. The bul-let has now dropped Ll4 of an inch.

Looking at figure 2, the rifle is aimed at a target the same distance away but at a 45o angle

downhill. This means the line of departure is

srill the same because the sight setEing hasnr t

been changed. The bullet itself isn't affected

much so the trajectory hasn'E changed. What has

changed is the amounE of true bullet drop is al-ways in a vertical 1ine, not necessarily a

perpen-dicular one to the line of sight. So measuring from the line of departure down vertically Ehe same amount as'the bullet drop on the flat range

will give us the correct bullet trajectory which

will be well above Ehe line of sight. The bullet

-32-will also be affected in the same manner at a tar-get 45o above instead of below.

In figure 3 there is a table that contains ap-proximate distances, measured in inches, that the

bullet will hit above the desired point of impact. These are figured for the .223 and the .308

car-tridges .

-33-The Knife---Selection and Use

There are basically three types of knives and numerous styles within these three main catagories. We

will examine each, advise on selection and then discuss

the use of a knife.

Utility knives are usually single edged. They

may be used as a lreaPon also but are better able to

perform the function of a tool than a weapon. Blade

length of a knife is an important factor in selection'

While a combat blade might be desirable in a longer

length, a utility knife is more useful if the blade

tengttr is six inches or under. The attitude that bigger

is better is noE always true, especially in knives. A

three to five inch blade with a single edge is an ideal

skinning knife. One of the two most popular knives

pur-chased by survival minded individuals is the USI'IC combat

knife by Cammilus Cutlery. OEher fine single edge

knives are the Benchmark ArgonauE, the Gerber X-400 drop

point hunting knife. In a pinch, a good piece of

kitch-en cutlery can be carried as a belt knife.

Self-defense of fighting knives are characterized by

one primary characteristic--the majority are double

edged. A double-edged knife is designed for kil1ing. If you beli6ve you will use your knife as a weapon, we suggest you select a double-edged blade. The most

pop-ular knife of this Eype is undoubtedly the Gerber l'lark II.

This knife is in the fifty dollar range and is an

ex-tremely fine piece of American cutlery.

Other double-edged knives thaE we can recommend are

the Gerber Mark I, the Gerber Guardian series, and the

various copies of Ehese knives. There are many varieties

of the double-edged knife. If you can afford the Gerber

go with it.

If you carry the double-edge blade, we suggest you

also purchase and carry a folding knife. The

folding knife will serve the utility function.

There are a large number of fine folders available

in both commercial and military models- The favorite

choice at C.S.A. is the Victorinox Trooper model.

To use a knife, You must know your target areas and how to hold your weapon. Discount anything you have seen in the movies.

-34-I _l, I Fighting Grip for a Double-Edged Knife

Single-Edged Knife--- Holding

GriP

Target areas are as follows: Attack the fingers

first. Repeat, _{attack the fingers first! They}

are the most accessible. Remember this principle. The shortest distance between tr^ro points is a straight

line. There are two basic methods to attack with a knife---thrust or slash. A slash is circular,

there-fore the aim covers more distance to attack. Thrust

at the fingers.

Rernember these two principles if you must use your

knife as a r.reapon. Let your opponent make the first

mistake. When you cut himrattack andcontinue _to

at-tack until you win! Secondly, when a person sees

his own blood, he has a tendency to stop, even if only for an instant. It is at that time you go tor the lethal targets. These are stomach, throat, groin,

eyes, or chest. From the rear, thrust into the kidney

area or reaching over with nonvreapon bearing hand

clasp the thumb and index finger over the nostrils while the palm covers the mouth. Reach over and slit

the throat while pulling the head back.

The previous photos show the correct grip for a

single-edge knife and the correct grip for holding a

double-edged b1ade.

To hold a folding knife, use the pictured grip.

The reason being _{this will insure that the knife}

does not close on your fingers. The knife is held

at the side in an inconspicuous manner and then used

to slash.

A knife fighting stance can be achieved by standing

with the feet shoulder width and the knife extended

from the body. One foot is forward. The heel of the

front foot is approximately six inches forward of the

rear foot toes. The front knee is bent and the rear knee is slightly bent.

EQUIPMENT

t'In the final choice a soldierts pack is not so.heavy a burden as

a prisonerts chains."

Equipment usually consists of a rifle, a pistol and

holster, knife and sheath, pistol belt, suspenders, magazine or ammo pouches (for rifle _and pistol),

can-teen, fanny pack, field pack, sleeping bag, pouncho,

mess kit, rireapon cleaning gear.

Part of the reason for inctuding \^reapons of different

sorts is because you can never te1l what you'11 find in vacant houses, old stores, or in the hands of the

enemy. If one has a basic idea of whatrs good, he

might bring back, for example, an HK91 instead of a

bolt action .22.

-49-The Individual Survival Kit

-50-CAR SURVIVAL KIT

We suggest that you carry this kit in the trunk

with the basic components, food, clothing, pistol and some of the other items packaged in an alice pack

(military surplus) or a commercial pack. Wrap the pack

in a plastic garbage bag to keep it dust free. Do the same with your other items.

There are several considerations to take into

accounr when preparing a kit for your car. They are

heat and cold. A car trunk can reach searing

tempera-tures. The medicinal components of a FirsFAid Kit can

deteriorate or lose potency. Storage food will age more rapidly. Candles, carried for their fire--starting

and light-giving qualities can melt and turn a survival kit into a rrax coated mess. A trunk can get hot enough

to warp plastic.

Cold on the oEher hand can also destroy medicines. [,Iater containers can burst. Do not fill them

compleEe-ly. Make sure your kit will provide you with warmth Eo

fit the season.

We suggest that you purchase a stainless steel

cant.een. It. can be heated up. Aluminum is a suspect

metal and anyEhing acid will be tarnished. Plastic

canteens cannot be heated. Stainless canteens can still

be found in some military surplus stores.

Changes from cold to warmth can cause moisture to

condense on metal. Metal will rust when wet, even stain-less steel. This can prove fatal on a gun. If you keep

your kit in the trunk, preventive maintenance is a must.

A light coating of oil will be helpful buE don't swamp

your weaPon.

-52-TOOLS

A basic tool kit is an absolute necessity. In the days to come you may have to provide your own maintenance

repair and construction. This prospect may not appeal

to many but with prayer, patience, the proper tools and

a general _{outline of the project at} hand you will not.

only be surprised but pleased with what can be

accomp-lished.

Take care of your Eools, hang them up, do not leave them exposed to the elemenEs. This is true wiEh all

your equipment. Once the collapse comes, replacements

will be much harder to obtain, if they are obtainable

at all. A light coating of oil is advisable bur if this is done make sure that you wipe them before use to assure

sure grip and sure contact with working surface.

Obvious precautions to take when using tools include

safety glasses. Removing jewelri, women should wear hair tied back. Another idea to consider is selection of

name brand tools. Bargain tools are not a bargain if they break or destroy the project you are working on.

Power tools will not. be discussed in this section. It is more than likely that there will be power outages or complete breakdowns in the electrical grid according to

your local. In that case power tools will be useless.

FOOD, WATER, AND CLOTHING

-55-FOOD

IE took three rough years for the pilgrims to

become self-sufficient. In the event of a national

collapse this bodes tremendous i1l for our people. The pilgrims came from an agrarian society, one in

which a high percentage of the population \^ras engaged

in farming. Today, the balance is way ouf of 1ine. One American feeds ten in an overly sophisticated

system relying on petroleum-based chemicals and

trans-portation.

The thinking Christian can no longer take his food

supply for granted.

There are some good reasons to store food. Mbst

of us are not able to grow our own food year round.

In the event of a national or regional emergency, a supermarket can be a very lethal place to be. This

is a land where people will shoot one another while

standing in an hour long gasoline 1ine. Can you

envision the pandemonium during a food store riot? It is likely food rationing will visir the United

States as the Satanic elite who seek to dominate the

world tightens the noose.

Food

-Stor.age

There are several ways to go about the process

of obtaining storage food for you and your family.

The easiest is to purchase a storage food unit from one of several reliable companies. However, this route is also the most expensive. The following

companies are good people to do business with and

are Christian companies. Write for their list.

Arrow Head Mi1ls Inc.

The Simpler Life

P.O. Box 866

Hereford, Tx. 79045

and/or

Neo-Life Company of America

25000 Industrial Blvd. Hayward, Cal, 94545

-This is a fast way to get properly-packed

long-life quality foods. They have both staples such as

beans, peas, grains, and also important items like protein supplements. Also available are various

freeze dried items which will add variery.

Egergency or Escap.e Foods

Each member of the family should have a prepacked,

accessible survival kit. Read the survival kit section

for suggestion of contents. The crucial component of

any kit is water, then food. Nutrition is Ehe key to

survival. Using that principle, the ideal foods for a survival kit are the ones that provide maximum

nutri-tion, less bu1k, light-weight and easy preparation.

Items fitting this criteria are few and far

be-tween. ProEein supplements are one of the items. They

can provide all the nutrients your body needs to run

on in a complete, easy to carry, easy to measure, easy

to prepare package. They are exPensive but each member

of the family should have a pound of protein supplement

in Eheir kit. Protein supplement and water make a

complete meal. If a vitamin and mineral supplement

is added, an ideal emergency food source is found that

is easy to carry. The Neo-Life Company has a product cal1ed Super-base that is exceptional.

A new product to fit this criteria is a health

food supplement known as Spirulina Plankton. It is

bland tasting, expensive and also just about the most

compact easily digestible source of protein known to

man. It can be found at various health food stores.

Eight ounces will sustain for a week. This is not to say that you wouldntt shed a few pounds but you would

be able to work, to walk, and to fight.

Other foods rich in protein and concentrated

include tofu, soybeans (toasted) and soybean Puree.

Water packed can goods are the last thing you want to lug around when you must move fast!

Supplement the above with bags of rice, lentils,

oatmeal and seasonings.

-58-Home Food Storage

The ideal plan

for

home storage involves both

food on hand and long term storage

of

grains and

other staples.

In

to

consume

the foods

in refrigerator

In

this

way perishables

will

not be wasted. Food
