[Ban Hammer 13,345]

Add to the Bren, one Centurion tank--old but tough and reliable!

Answer: We don't need no freakin' guns. Ever heard of M.A.D.? Better known as Mutual Assured Destruction. It is the same defense we have had since the Cold War and little has changed to the plan. Invade us...we nuke you. We invade you...you nuke us.

The whole game falls apart when you are dealing with nutjobs like Jihadists who jack off on martyrdom. Suicide bombers laugh at M.A.D. For everyone else M.A.D. is the deterent that keeps the Golden Hordes at bay.

Gun experts, chime in. The Chinese have invaded the left coast. The DC govt lies in tatters due to infighting and gridlock. What kind of weapons do you need to launch an effective resistance?

I ask because out of all the gun threads, none of them address the very reason we have a 2nd amendment - so that the citizens can effectively resist a tyrannical government.

For the purposes of this exercise, please assume the Chinese invasion force is tyrannical.

The Chinese would never invade America...........They are buying it, 99 Cents at a time.........

How many pairs of slippers do you own?

600K of them would crush cali resistance, but then, just as hope appeared to be failing, the 3.5 million pennsylvania deer hunters who hit the woods each november would arrive in a pick-up truck caravan and rout the chinese with an assortment of hunting and sport utility rifles.

it would be over in 2 days, and the only dissapointment in the experience would be to those who failed to fill their tag. justashooter would be there with the twin belt fed brownings and an assortment of fn/fal, ak, and ar to try out. he woud prolly also bring a few subguns for house clearing, and would find out if 30 tokarev ammo really will peirce the average chinese helmet. his wife, not really that impressed with the chinese government, would come along to help interrogate the prisoners.

Would you be able to rout the Chinese invasion force with weapons that are currently legal?

I take it you are not a gun owner, because I think you just made A.J's point for him. Well done that man!

Oh wait, did Justashooter beat you to it? Let me check...

No, I think you won because in Shooters scenario the weapons were still necessary to ensure victory. Hurrah!

The only weapon you really need is what will kill the enemy. Then if his weapon is better, you take his, and his ammunition.

[Peikko 1,575]

If his weapon is better, you are dead so how do you 'take it'? Or was that your mate who got it?

Not necessarily. Patience and guile. Unless the Chinese soldier is going to kill every citizen on sight, there will be opportunity. Asymetrical warfare. The defender always has an inherent advantage.

Not necessarily. Patience and quile. Unless the Chinese soldier is going to kill every citizen on sight, there will be opportunity. Assynetrical warfare. The defender always has an inherent advantage.

So any gun that can kill, in sufficient quantities, can birth an effective resistance?

There is no real need for military-style hardware?

Oh, so you are saying if the weaponry is better, even if you can still kill the guy with your own weapon, pick his up after and put it to good use? Ok, gotcha!

In essence, yes, if there is the will. Now, I hope you are not going to make the jump to assuming cosmetic changes only make a weapon superior.

That's what the Russians did in WW2. Worked for them - only a few million dead...
