From my military experience, I inherited a little book that is packed
with inspiration for shadowrun--The Ranger's Handbook. It is a pocket
sized, yellow book that is full of information on booby traps
(particularly those using C4), setting ambushes, even sky hook pick ups
and clearing Landing Zones. It's unclassified and available through
various (US Cavalry) type of catalogs and has some very good ideas to
add some original schemes to that "Old Stand Up Street Sammy."

Have it. My engineering manuals are much more usefull since thats
what we did. If anyone is interested FM5-34 is approved for public
release and has a lot of info about a wide range of stuff (its the
engineer's bible.)

It is invaluable if your are doing a run that requires demolitions
skills. I run the bomb planted on a bridge/building/whatever
scenario every so often.

It would be useful to have a good, reliable address where non-US citizens
could get hold of books like these, or even copies of them... (Preferably
without having to wait until the American postal service decides it's
time for the bi-annual shipment of mail to Europe :)

Any chance you could post the publisher, editor/author, and ISBN (if it
has these things)?
