This handbook has been compiled to furnish the Special Forces soldier with vital information on a number of foreign small arms he may encounter on a worldwide basis. Explanations in simple terms of assembly, disassembly, operation and firing have been assembled in a concise, uncomplicated format. This publication, in filling a long-standing need, will play a vital part in maintaining the reputation of the Special Forces soldier as being one whose training and ability to teach others places him in the front rank of the finest soldiers in the world.
