Application of Hand weapons
If a weapon is available, only a fool will choose to use his hands and feet, but what is more important is the application of these weapons. I would rather fight a man with a knife , without a knife myself, if the person did not know how to use it- meaning that I had two hands free where he had the hindrance of a weapon he was not skilled in using. When considering a type of makeshift weapon, always take into account what it is going to be used for, and how well you will be able to use it.
Hand weapons
A bayonet hilt, tent peg, or any blunt object can be extremely effective in silencing an enemy. A sharp blow with any of these objects, directly to the back of the neck, will in most cases break there neck and kill them instantly. A black jack can be made from wet sand and an old sock. You fill the sock about a quarter full of sand, tying a knot just above the sand. When attacking an enemy, you should strike hard at the nape of the neck. If you have a rifle , but no ammunition, use the gun as a weapon itself. By striking the butt of the rifle deeply into the hollows of a person’s back you will be able to stun him. By striking the same hollow with the toe of the rifle you’ll likely kill the man.
Knives
Probably the most commonly used weapon outside of a firearm is a knife, and at the same time it is perhaps the most misused weapon of all. Most freedom fighters have died through stupidity and lack of training than all the other causes put together. Of course your enemy is going to kick a knife from your hands if you extend it out in front of you. Exactly the same situation with a handgun; a pistol should always be kept at the hip and out of possible grasp of the enemy. An important factor in employing a knife as a weapon is the grip which you will use. The best over all grip is as follows: Lay the knife handle diagonally across the palm of an outstretched hand. Now with your thumb and forefinger grip each side of the handle, just beneath the guard, but do not encircle it. With the rest of your fingers grasp the remaining portion of the handle and encircle it.
This type of grip allows you to maneuver the knife in most directions easily and quickly. When attacking with a knife, there are certain vulnerable spots you should try for. These will result in death or severe injury.
Throat: Slashing the throat will result in a speedy death, as the throat is connected to the jugular vain and supplies blood to the brain via the carotid artery, be warned this area may be well defended. It is sometimes better to wound the enemy in another spot before attacking this target.
Stomach: The stomach should be considered more of a diversionary tactic, then a fatal end in itself. Although a deep stomach wound left unattended will surely result in death, Slashing thrusting techniques should be employed on the stomach.
Heart: As any hunter is aware the heart is a particularly fatal spot for some enemies, it should be noted that the heart is well protected by the rib cage, and is pretty hard to hit. A sharp thrust will slip off the rib cage and penetrate the heart. This will result in death instantly. This type of thrust should incorporate an upward swing and the lunge.
Wrist: This is an excellent place to consider, especially if your enemy tries to grab for the knife, your arm, or a piece of clothing. A slash to the inside of the wrist will cut a radial artery which is only a quarter inch below the skin surface.
Upper arm: The upper arm is vulnerable as the wrist, in that s well placed slash will sever the brachial artery. A slash should be used on the upper arm regions, since a thrust would give you less of a chance of making the desired contact. If a thrust is unsuccessful it will tend to throw you off balance and leave you open to attack.
Inside upper leg: A slash combined with a thrust movement directed to the inside of the leg just below the groin will result in severing some very large arteries, and will render the limb useless.
Kidneys: As we should already be aware the kidneys help flush waste out of our systems, by destroying the kidneys and following up with a slash to the throat will leave an enemy dead, One launch the attack when they are about 5 feet away from the back of the “victim”. Then, with one movement, he must thrust the knife deep into the kidneys and cover the :victims” mouth with his free hand. After a few seconds they should remove the knife, slashing as it is being retracted and cut the “victims” throat.
Collar thrust: The subclavian artery is located about three inches below the surface of the skin, between the collar bone and the shoulder blade. When attacking this point, you must come up from the enemies rear, holding the knife as you were an ice pick. You must thrust straight down into the indentation by the side of the neck. A good policy to follow when employing this form of attack is to cover the “victims” mouth and nose to avoid any un-necessary noise. The artery is difficult to hit, so when withdrawing the knife use a slashing motion, to make the wound you have made larger and to insure that you have severed the artery.
There is nothing funny about killing someone and these methods are not a joke for your amusement. They do indeed work and are being used today by the Army, Marines, and Special Forces, when attacking or being attacked remain as calm as possible. Do not lose your head, through anger or fear. A freedom fighters worst enemies are their emotions. Watch your opponent’s actions try and guess what his next move will be, and prevent them from making it. I have no patience with a person who agrees that he is threatened but refuses to do anything to protect themselves or others around them. Because he is disgusted with or afraid of violence. Everyone feels fear, and the brave are only those who can thick logically and calmly about their fear, placing it in its proper relation to the matter on hand.
