TM 07661B-14/1 APPENDIX A Section III.  DEMOLITION TO PREVENT ENEMY USE A 1-14.  GENERAL.  When capture or abandonment of the model 450PKP/ 100AFFF03638MC fire extinguisher to an enemy is imminent, the responsible unit commander must make the decision to either destroy the equipment or to render it inoperative.  Based on this decision, orders are issued which cover the desired extent of destruction. A 1-15.  DEMOLITION TO RENDER THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER INOPERATIVE. a. Demolition by Mechanical Means.  Mechanically demolish the extinguisher as follows: (1) Open nitrogen cylinder valves and hose nozzles and discharge agents. (2) Use fire axes, hammers, pry bars, pickaxes, or similar tools to: (a) Sever twin handlines in several places. (b) Sever high pressure hoses from nitrogen cylinders. (c) Sever low pressure lines in all accessible areas. (d) Destruct nitrogen pressure regulators. (e) Destruct and/or break off all pressure relief valves. (f) Empty all AFFF and dry chemical containers in the area. b. Demolition by Misuse.  The fire extinguisher's safety devices, coupled with its rugged design, effectively preclude any extensive damage by misuse. A 1-16.  DEMOLITION BY EXPLOSIVES OR WEAPON FIRE. a. Demolition   by   Explosives.      The   fire   extinguisher   can   be   effectively   rendered   inoperative   without   use   of explosives. b. Demolition by Weapons Fire.  Small arms weapon fire can be effectively used to: (1) Destruct pressure regulators, manifold lines, hoses and hose reels. (2) Deplete nitrogen supply by destroying cylinder gages. (3) Render most valves inoperative. (4) Render nozzles inoperative. (5) The thickness of the AFFF and dry chemical container walls, combined with their mostly curved surfaces, makes it unlikely that small arms fire would be effective in destroying.  It is recommended that .50 caliber weapons and armor-piercing ammunition be used for this purpose, guarding against possible ricochets. A  1-17.    DEMOLITION  BY  SCATTERING  AND  CONCEALING  PARTS  .      The   fire   extinguisher   can   be   rendered inoperative  quickly  and  easily  by  removing  several  components  or  parts.    These  parts  are  small  enough  to  be  easily carried  and  disposed  of  by  hiding,  burying,  or  submerging  in  bodies  of  water.    After  depleting  the  nitrogen  supply  by opening the nitrogen cylinder valves and hose nozzles, dispose of the following easily removed components, or parts: A 1-24
