I own a copy of the TM 31-210 army handbook and I was wondering if people would like me to scan it and put it up online in the form of a pdf. Is it worth it...I mean i have a lot of spair time on my hands and stuff but I don't wanna do it if people don't want it/or if its already scanned and posted somewhere.

Also...are there any sites that have military manuals similar to the TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook.

-Thanks

i would be interested in a .pdf copy if you don't mind ...

When I get around to it I will start...I dont know if it should post it online or just take individual requests.

I would be intereasted too. I was about to buy myself a copy on ebay.

Ok I am glad that people are interested...just don't expect it to be done in a matter of hours...could take upto a week or so depending what i have goin on. Does anybody know of any other programs or possibly plug-ins for adobe acrobat that have an advantage over acrobats built in feature to scan books? or is that feature the best there is?

-thanks

Adobe acrobat is the best format as far as I know, and for more manuals, try http://www.biggerhammer.net/manuals/

i want it too if ya dont mind.....

Ok...Acrobat is all downloaded and ready to use. I will probably just end up putting this file on a site or an ftp or something so everybody who wants it can get it.

And thanks for the site with the manuals...gotta check it out.

If you do scan it send it to me it would be a welcomed manual on the server.

I would very much appriciate a scaned copy of this manual.

Also besides the above mentioned site does anyone have any other sites with manuals and or personal PDF files regarding explosives, demolition, and or improvised explosives.

i have a site with it already on. look at this http://fringe.davesource.com/Fringe/Explosives/Black_Books.txt

heheheehehehehehehehehehehehehe

just copy and paste it

no offence but a scanned copy would be much better due to the fact thatit would contain all info instead of a lousy re-typing ...

Yeah I started scanning already...might take a while since its about 250 pages. Yeah the reason i wanted to scan was because the text files are generally shitty and i hate trying to figure out those text pictures...but I pity the person who spent all the time typing that all out.

Yeah, my thoughts also.

Keep up the good work, and you can upp it to the KDX server. (oh damn I forgot his email....)

EDIT: Hey cockfighter, when you Have finished scanning can you upload the pdf AND all of the pics in a folder. It would be nice to have both.

Yeah I can try that, but what i am usin is the import/scan way...i supposes i can export all of the pages of the pdf into seperate image files. Thanks for the suggestion.

Oh and Rat Bastard, i'm a fan of your website.

Yeah that is a really good manual. It doesn't just include info on explosives, it also contains stuff about timers, igniters, and otehr things.

hey 6c can you check your e-mail ...

thanks,

warweed12

i already have 2 different scans of TM 31-210. skinny that file has been around since the bbs days, has no images and is missing information.

i'd be glad to send either of my copies to anyone who knows how to ask nicely, though it'd be nice if you could trade something (even if it's just a website). btw good site M60E3.

cross-one@ziplip.com

My scan/pdf will be on the kdx server tonight, I finally got around to finishing up.

Woah totse is goin slow right now...Ok cool, so there are scanned copies circulating...If somebody could send me a copy it would be great. Its good to have an extra copy just incase my other one catches on fire. So i guess this means I don't need to scan it anymore.

-Thanks

you should be able to email me from this post but if it doesn't work, my email is mtbikex@optonline.net

well if some one has a good copy scan of it please send it to

pyrus at shaw dot ca

also how would i go about accessing the KDX server ??

i have heard it for a quite a while but am not sure of the address

Thats because the info was never published to general public, we didnt want it over run with kewls. I am sure some one can email you the info, if not Ill send you an email about who to talk to.

That would be great if you could email it to me ( <A HREF="mailto:webmaster@krimzonpyro.com">webmaster@krimzonpyro.com</A> Dont worry about filesize , my inbox has no limit ) or, just put it to the server.

Thank you.

well if soem one can send me the KDX info i would be very great full or put me into contact with some one that can my e-mail as said before is

pyrus at shaw dot ca

How big is the .pdf? If it's not too big could I possibly get it emailed to tincabins at hotmail dot com (anti-spam address) there is a 2 meg limit, so if it is larger I would like to know how to access the server to download it.

Apparently I've been kicked out of the KDX server, I guess I'm a k3wl and didn't know it. It would have been nice for someone to have told me this.

[This message has been edited by cross (edited 07-30-2003).]

well this is what you get when someone filters out the junk don't feel bad kewl go and reasearch on pyrotechnics get a new email and try again.

Huh... I tried to connect to the KDX server, no luck. Is it down?

Yeah it is I can't go on it as well.

Alright, it must be down if YOU can't get on, I mean, what would we do without you?! Haha, just kidding man, thanks for confirming it for me.

Hmm maybe it's just down and I'm not kicked out of the circle.

Anyways as for my copies of TM 31-210 the .pdf file is 171 KB but it's pretty low quality and hard to read. The other copy is a collection of scanned .gif's from the reprint in the PMJB volume 2, high quality but 8,080 KB.

And I'm not a k3wl.

I haven't been on Pyro Palace for awhile because comp is fucked(it's gonna get fixed soon) FYI. So don't think I've abandoned Pyro Palace.

My .pdf is larger, and it's a scan of the original handbook, not a reprint. Military surplus is my friend.

You wouldnt by anychance happen to have a copy of "CIA's dirtiest tricks" or "the poormans james bond" would you?

now im really curious about KDX ... please any one with information .. ??

please if soem one could send me the contact info on KDX or a user and pass .. or a person who i need to register with or somthing like lol the suspence isdriving me crazy ...



-warweed12

Yeah, what he said

download the KDX client at http://www.haxial.com/products/kdx/index2.html

and email BFK and tell him the user name you want at

aquallama@hotmail.com

and heel email you back with the password, server address and all that stuff.

there was a thread about it a while back called A thirst for knowledge but it got closed because it turned into a flame war. you can try to find it if you want more info.

i have the cia book of dirty tricks, if anyone wants a pdf of it email me at kingpyro2002@yahoo.com

aquallama@hotmail.com was the man who first set up the server, though last time I was on he had given everyone a new IP and someone else was hosting. Also the man has not responded to any emails.

I have a copy of the CIA Book of Dirty Tricks, you can find it fairly easy on Kazaa, but I guess I could send it as well.

As for the PMJB I'm having trouble finding my complete copy but I have several scanned pages which I'll try and put together and post the missing pages here.

Do you think you could Email a copy of it to me? I'd really appreciate it.

varactor_blue@yahoo.com

is my Email-box. Put it as an attachment.

If you could do that it would REALLY help me!

Thanks.

Isn't the CIA Black Book of Dirty Tricks the same exact thing as the TM 31-210??? I remember i bought it at the Army Barracks store in Oak Bluffs, Marthas Vineyard, MA. I remember it was a smaller size and had a different cover, but it was the same thing. I returned it and got the actual manual instead. The CIA Black Book of Dirty tricks that is on kazaa just had a bunch of text files from the anarchists cookbook and stuff.

no, the TM 31-210 isn't the cia dirty tricks book. The cia dirty tricks book is.. well, just that, dirty tricks, how to-s etc. You can DL the CIA book in .pdf format here (http://www.angelfire.com/vt/vegettosdomain/downloads/Tricks_Cia.pdf). Its 355 kb, but on angelfire, I use it as my little storage box thingy.
