>What is the difference between partisans, militias, guerillas and terrorists?

It all depends which end of the gun you happen to be behind.

>Where do you draw the line?
wherever I feel like

>Are they brave for fighting an overwhelming enemy or cowardly for using unfair tactics and not facing the enemy in the open like a regular military?

There is no honor in killing. Only death. No matter how you do it, taking a life is taking a life.

Most of it depends on point of view but there are some specific traits:

>Partisans
Typically people of a nation that are fighting an occupying force
>Militia
An irregular army comprised of a local civilian populace
>Guerrillas
Anyone using guerilla warfare. Often used when the fighters are not actually native to the nation they are fighting in. See the Congo.
>Terrorists
A bit more vague but typically anyone who attacks civilians or infrastructure for the sole purpose of creating fear to push a political or religious agenda.

On the bravery/cowardly aspect it is kind of irrelevant. Use whatever works but be aware of the drawbacks. Hiding amongst civilians gets civilians targeted.

If I still have a job and can find a buyer for my Glock, probably will get it when a decock only kit or model comes out.

No real reason other than I have a nostalgia for decock only pistols from having a Ruger P95DC and hating Ruger for not continuing the P-series

>>31645470
>probably will get it when a decock only kit or model comes out.

The Compact 'Carry' model specifically already comes with the G Conversion already done which makes it decocker only. Stock Berettas are generally type F which means safety decocker.

And even if you did get a stock PX4, converting it to decocking only consists of removing a ball bearing and spring.

>>31645492
Oh, then I will probably buy it even if it might be a little ill advised. They really need to outright say 'Model G = Decock only'

They're shit and manned by conscripts.

you can carry cannon ammo, or have troops in the back, not both.

Muslim insurgents kill them easily every time Israel gets into a ground conflict.

front engine front drive is a meme.

they should have bought Abrams or Leopards.

It's a shit modern defensive pistol. Too heavy, not enough capacity, and odd quirks.

It still makes a wonderful range toy/race gun though.

There are superior options, yes, but it's better than nothing.

Let me tell you about the M1A, coming from someone who has one. Even if you get your hands on a "cheap" one, they will break you in cost for everything else. Magazines are expensive. Cheap ones are shit and not worth buying and will give you nothing but problems. They don't like reloaded ammo, so you won't save as much and will be buying the shit. Chassis systems, replacement parts as well as aftermarket stuff like mounts and other add ons that are M1A specific are very pricy. I love mine but they are not for poorfags, you're better off with a PTR-91 if you need a poorfag battle rifle.

If you are making functional armor you'd be good with titanium or steel. Steel's heavier and takes more maintenance, but it's lighter.

There's a slight problem with this: Real armor needs to be riveted or welded closed, rather then just bending the rings closed. This means closing 5 to 20 thousand rings.

It's a hell of a investment of time and effort. Easier is butted mail, made by simply bending rings closed.

>>31644997
Steel's cheaper, not lighter.

>>31644855
It's been years since I've done it, but I made several vests back in college. Unless you are going for extreme authenticity, use the larger rings. They look better, and it will go much faster.
Buy rings that are pre-cut, and get two identical duckbill pliers, with springs. Don't fuck around in the plier department, because the risk for RSI is real.

My favorite piece was 6-on-1, which was heavy as fuck but looked badass. It doesn't stretch, so it looks better but is impractical for combat.

I think I used 8-on-2, which is 4-on-1 with everything doubled, as shoulder pads once but I may be imagining.

Do you have $12k to blow on an underground shelter? Does it do anything better than your basement? Seriously, uparmor your basement, seal it from flood, have all your storage and backups in there, and if shtf you fill the upstairs with grease, marbles, dangling fish hooks, and lego. See if any cunt even makes it past the front hall.

>Also how well could one of these be made into a easily defensible bunker/fortress?
It's garbage for that. The only thing you get a thin metal box. By the time you add all the armor or support you will have a complete bunker/fortress without the need for the shipping container at all.

>that video
What the fuck no just stop holy shit no.

Absolute garbage design. None of that looks good to last, they didn't put it deep enough, and they could have saved time, effort, and likely money just by starting from scratch with a designed structure meant for underground burial.

so much to point out

1. underground bunkers are misunderstood, you can't defend them; you just can't
if you're caught in one 20 men can be killed by one guy sitting on top
you have no way out, and no awareness of what awaits up on the surface
and thats if nobody blocks your air vents

2. so much material has been used here, why even use a shipping container

3. they won't protect you from much, maybe a fire
but you risk being buried or the shelter collapsing

at the end of the day you should spend less and just make a root cellar
or spend more and build a propper one

this jackass spent 12000$ moving a perfectly functional shipping container a foot underground and hard to get into
and his designs goes beyond unsafe, it laughable
what's retaining hte dirt from crushing inwards?!
does he think a shipping container can bear the weight of a 6in cement slab?

it's going to rain, wash the dirt against th container semi-crushing it
the slab will crack because it's LITTERALLY SUPPORTED BY THE DIRT AROUND IT
fair chance it could collapse

Fine choice. I'll call the Strop 2 aa.

Strop 2 is top tier, but please try to add picture so there is no confusion among anons.

>44 magnum
>Is it overkill for CCW?
Yes.
It's also going to be generally unpleasant to shoot on account of the frame size and wooden grips, not to mention it's going to be an expensive beast to feed if you actually intend to go to the range and shoot it a lot for practice, which obviously you should.

38/357, 9mm, or 45 is plenty enough for CCW, revolver or automatic.
I'm assuming this is one of your first pistols or at least CC guns and you have little experience in that department, if so then heed my advice and don't get caught up in the "bigger is better" cycle.

>>31644671
no I ccw a ruger lcr .357

>>31644625
>Is it overkill for CCW?
No, it is just a silly choice, unless you are more likely to defend yourself against bears than dindus.

OP here again, and just to gauge how new I am to
guns, i've only gone shooting once and only shot
a .22 rifle, a .357 revolver and a 12 gauge shotgun

Get a .22lr pistol and rifle and shoot a lot for fun. Make gun friends. Finger their guns. Gain some experience with what you want.

Pistols are for self defense

Shotguns are for home defense and hunting

Rifles are for property defense and hunting

Automatics are freedom.

>>31644481
what brands would you recommend for .22lr?

They won't do anything to those who don't comply. Why would they need to?

You'll never be able to take them to the range, the smith, or the shop, if anybody finds out about them they will report you and then a SWAT team will no-knock you in the middle of the night, or come snatch you while you're on your lunch break at work.

Hundreds of thousands of rifles and mags will get stashed away never to be seen again, eventually your grandkids will discover them stashed in the attic when you die, and they will call the cops to come collect them, or bury them in the woods.

Even if you've got yourself and four or five friends who are all on the same page, all experienced, good shooters, maybe a couple are combat vets, etc, and you all decide you won't comply and want to resist... how are you gonna do it? Who are you gonna shoot at? Any random cop or fed? Doesn't really accomplish anything.
