Blackheart International Training is recognized as a leader in advanced weapons training for special operations groups around the world, particularly when it comes to foreign (former Soviet Bloc) light and heavy weapons. But, did you know that Blackheart International literally “wrote the book” on non-standard foreign weapons ranging from the Makarov pistol to the DShK heavy machine gun and the RPG-7 rocket-propelled grenade launcher? It’s true.
The Blackheart International Training Operator’s Guide Series manuals are the same publications used by BHI Training students in the classroom and on the range. These are also the same books used by BHI Training instructors to “train the trainers.” I used these very manuals during my recent Foreign Weapons Course and have relied on many of them over the past few years as an invaluable reference.
You won’t find more current, up-to-date, full color manuals anywhere in the world on the most common Soviet Bloc and NATO weapons currently in use around the globe. The Operator’s Guide series of manuals are authored and published in a joint effort by former U.S. Army Special Forces personnel from Blackheart International, utilizing their practical in-the-field experience with these weapons, and verified source data (unlike the poor and often incorrect translations seen in other publications).
Each manual gives the reader:
– background/specifications of the weapons
– instructions on their operation
– disassembly and assembly procedures
– proper firing procedures
– malfunction/misfire procedures
Operator-level maintenance is also detailed to allow the reader to understand and become competent in the use and maintenance of all weapon systems.
Soviet Bloc weapons manuals include: AK-47/AKM & AK74, DShk & DShKM, Makarov Pistol, PK/PKM, PPSh-41, RPG-7 and SVD Dragunov.
NATO weapons manuals include: HK-69A1, M2 .50 Caliber, M203, M240B/MAG-58, MK19/MOD 3 and M79.
In addition, BHI will soon be releasing six new publications of Soviet Bloc (TT-33 Tokarev, PPS-43 and PA-63) and NATO (Remington 870, Glock and Beretta 92) weapons.
All current Operator’s Guide Series manuals are available to the public and ready to ship. For more information go to www.bhigear.com.
