  The Molitov Cocktail is probably the most recognized and easily construct-
ed incindiary device known to the suburban commando (or terrorist).  Most
likely, everyone who reads this already knows what one looks like, how to
make one, and may have even employed one, but I thought I'd write this file
on the proper construction and use of one anyway.

Shopping List:
1 Bottle  (see below for types)
a rag
Gasoline (Higher Octane is better)
Powdered Tide (Optional)

Bottles:
  Any bottle will work for a molitov cocktail, but several styles are highly
preferred. First, a large volume is desired, secondly a long neck of fairly
large diameter is also good. Finally, a shape that fits the hand is preferred,
but not required. For each of the bottles which follows, the main features
are rated with a + (good), o (neutral), or - (poor) at right:

                                             |VOLUME | NECK | SHAPE|
                         Arizona Iced Tea:   |   +   |  +   |   -  |
                         Clearly Canadian:   |   +   |  o   |   +  |
                         Orangina:           |   -   |  o   |   +  |
                         Snapple:            |   o   |  -   |   o  |


Contruction:
  Fill the bottle with gas and add some powdered Tide if you want it to be
sticky (which is usually good). If you add Tide, be sure to shake it around
a bit to mix it up. Then plug the bottle with the rag, and saturate the rag
with gas or oil.

Use:
  This is not something you place on a window sill and light. Light a cocktail
and, when the rag is burning fully, throw the bottle at a hard object (house,
vehicle, street, etc). People are useless, since the bottle won't break re-
liably.  This is really a great device when used in numbers, for example:
You wish to stop a group of people from advancing on your position. You and
your accomplices light a number of Molitov Cocktails (perhaps 4) and throw
them in a line across your opposition's primary path. Then you can make an
ambush at their secondary path. In short, the Molitov Cocktail is an excellent
and reliable way to deliver a napalm substance to a distant location.
Have Fun.
