Chapter 14: Kidnappings and Assassinations Using Rifles and Pistols

It is better to choose a revolver, because even though it has fewer bullets than an automatic pistol, it doesn’t jam and the empty cartridges remain in the cylinder, making it more difficult for investigators.

Critical parts of the body

The gunman should be familiar with the essential parts on the body or [where] to wound critically in order to aim at these areas on the individual who is to be assassinated. They are:

1. The circle that includes the two eyes, the nose and the mouth is a fatal area, and the gunman should not aim below or to the left or right or he risks having the bullet fail to kill

2. The part of the neck where the arteries and veins meet

3. The heart

4. The stomach

5. The liver

6. The kidneys

7. The spinal column

Principles and Rules for Firing

The biggest mistakes in aiming are due to physical stress or nerves, which can make the hand jump or shake. This can be caused by putting too much pressure on the trigger or by pulling on the trigger instead of squeezing it. This makes the muzzle of the gun shift away from the target.

For that reason, the brothers should follow these rules when aiming and firing:

1. Control yourself when you squeeze the trigger so the gun doesn’t move

2. Squeeze the trigger without too much force and without pulling on it

3. Do not let the sound of the shot affect you and do not concentrate on what it will sound like because that will make your hand shake

4. Your body should be normal, not tense, and your limbs relaxed; but not too relaxed

5. When you fire, line up your right eye with the centre of the target

6. Close your left eye if you fire with your right hand and vice versa

7. Do not take too long in aiming or your nerves may fail you

8. Do not feel regret in squeezing the trigger. You are killing an enemy of your God
