Live in California?
Better get your ammo while you can. On Febuary 1st, AB962 goes into law. What is AB962? It makes it illegal to order hangun ammo over the internet. And that's just the start, folks. You see, in the Peoples Republic, you can have diversity or freedom, but you can't have both. Jews, Negros, assorted mud. They all eventually lead to destruction. The boys in the pointy white hoods back in the 50s and 60s were dead right.
Ammo prices are now going to become very expensive in Atzlan. Don't worry though, the Mexicans who will waste you will have their ammo handed to them, free of charge.
I can remember a time in CA when it was white and free. That's before the Willie Brown and Nancy Pelosi types took over. I can remember when you could even drive in CA without auto insurance, it was that libertarian. But no more.
Gun Laws in California
I'm so glad I left CA and moved to an area of the country where it's stil free, nominally white and christian. Why don't you do the same? Ya'll come, and bring all your rowdy friends too! And be sure to check out our ammo links and get it while you can!

RPG-7 - Weapon of the Insurgency
During the civil war that will break out inside the Great Satan, that filthy abomination that has become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit, I don't see any difficulty in obtaining weapons like these. There are millions of them in the Middle East and Eastern Europe that could very easily find their way into the hands of determined patriots. If we have to, we can make our own RPGs, Drones and Stingers. Know why?
We are Aryans.
This is an outstanding article on light infantry vs armor tactics involving the popular shoulder-fired RPG-7. This article appeared in the May-August 1998 issue of "Infantry" under the title "The RPG-7 On the Battlefields of Today and Tomorrow."
For All Seasons: The Old But Effective RPG-7 Promises to Haunt the Battlefields of Tomorrow
by Mr. Lester W. Grau Foreign Military Studies Office, Fort Leavenworth, KS. *********************************************************************
The RPG-7 anti-tank grenade launcher is one of the most common and most effective infantry weapons in contemporary conflicts. It is rugged, simple and carries a lethal punch. Whether downing US Blackhawk helicopters in Somalia, blasting Russian tanks in Chechnya, or attacking government strong points in Angola, the RPG-7 is the weapon of choice for many infantrymen and guerrillas around the world.
The RPG-7 is the lineal descendant of the World War II German Panzerfaust. It is relatively cheap, quite effective and found everywhere. The RPG-7 was adopted by the Soviet Armed Forces in 1961. Today, it is part of the TO&E of over 40 different countries' armies and several of these countries, besides Russia, are licensed to build their own.(1) Other manufacturers include Bulgaria, China, Iran, Iraq, Romania and Pakistan.
The RPG-7 is a shoulder-fired, muzzle-loaded, antitank and antipersonnel grenade launcher which launches a variety of fin-stabilized, oversized grenades from a 40mm tube. The launcher with optical sight weighs 6.9 kilograms (15.2 pounds) and has a maximum effective range of 300 meters against moving point targets and 500 meters against stationary point targets.
The maximum range for antitank grenades against area targets is 920 meters, at which point the round self-destructs after its 4.5 second flight. The antipersonnel grenades reach over 1100 meters. Among the production grenades are the PG-7, PG-7M, PG-7N, and PG-7VL antitank grenades with armor penetrability of up to 600mm of rolled homogeneous steel. The PG-7VR is a tandem warhead designed to penetrate explosive reactive armor and the armor underneath. The OG-7 and OG-7M are high-explosive antipersonnel grenades.(2)
The Soviet Army assigned one RPG-7 per motorized rifle squad.(3) Forces involved in regional conflicts tend to add more RPGs to their organizations. In the Iran-Iraq War, the Iranian 11-man squad had two RPG-7 gunners. In the Soviet-Afghan War, the Mujahideen (4) averaged one RPG for every 10-12 combatants in 1983-1985. By 1987, they were two RPG-7s for every 10-12 combatants.
The Mujahideen formed special armored-vehicle hunter-killer teams where 50 to 80% of the personnel were armed with RPG-7s. This could be up to 15 RPGs. When there weren't mortars available, these groups also used their RPG-7s as a form of pseudo-artillery and conducted RPG preparation fires.(5)
Constricted terrain (mountains, forest, jungle, and population centers) leads to close combat. When the combatants are 10-30 meters apart, artillery and air support is practically nonexistent due to the danger of fratricide. Close combat is a direct-fire brawl in which the RPG-7 excels.(6)
Combat in the High Desert
The Soviet -Afghan War lasted from 1979 to 1989 and pitted the local Mujahideen against the Soviet occupiers and the Afghan communist government. Afghanistan is a rugged land, full of towering mountains, vast deserts, "green zones"(7) and occasional forest. Guerrilla warfare favors the use of light infantry.
The Soviets never fielded enough light infantry to match the quality light infantry of the Mujahideen. The RPG-7 was the Mujahideen weapon of choice and they proved its value as a light-weight killer against Soviet tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks and helicopters. The Soviets tried to stay at least 300 meters away from the Mujahideen--out of AK-47 Kalashinikov assault rifle and RPG- 7 moving target range.(8) The Mujahideen, on the other hand, tried to get in close and "hug" the Soviet force to escape Soviet artillery and air strikes while using their RPGs to good effect.(9)
Among the forces that the Soviets deployed to Afghanistan were two spetsnaz brigades.(10) The spetsnaz forces were not authorized RPG-7s in their TO&Es. Instead, they were issued RPG-16s or RPG-22s.(11) The RPG-16s and RPG-22s lacked the range and punch of the RPG-7, so spetsnaz troops used captured Chinese and Pakistani RPG-7s. They preferred these RPGs to the Soviet-manufactured model since they are lighter, and have a folding bipod and a convenient carrying handle. The spetsnaz found that the RPG-7 was ideal for taking out Mujahideen firing positions dug into mountain slopes. They would aim the RPG-7 to hit above and behind the firing position, showering the firing position with shrapnel and pieces of rock.(12)
The Mujahideen used the RPG antitank grenades against both vehicles and personnel. The antitank round has a lethal bursting radius of some four meters and can kill with blast and shrapnel. The Mujahideen learned that the best way to destroy a vehicle was to engage it with two or three RPGs simultaneously from a range of 20-50 meters. The chances of hitting the target with a lethal shot are greatly increased by firing a number of shots at close range. Further, the vehicle under attack has less of a chance to react to the attack.
The rebels in Tadjikistan in 1992 applied this same technique when attacking T-72 tanks equipped with reactive armor. Since they lacked the anti-reactive armor PG-7VR tandem warhead, the first gunner would hit the tank to blow a hole in the reactive armor and the second and third gunner would fire the kill shots at the exposed area. This "double-teaming" also usually took out the tank's vision blocks, so if the tank survived, it was blind allowing the RPG gunners time to reposition, reload and reengage. Another "trick of the trade" was to throw a fragmentation grenade on the T-72's front deck to take out the driver's vision block before the massed RPGs opened up on the tank. The optimum shot for the Tadjik rebels was against the rear section of the T-72 turret.
The biggest danger to the RPG gunners was infantry accompanying tanks, so they tried to take out tanks that were out of immediate infantry support range. Further, RPG gunners usually were accompanied by supporting snipers and machine gunners and an assistant RPG gunner carrying an assault rifle. These could protect the RPG gunner from enemy infantry. It was absolutely necessary, if the RPG gunners were not firing from prepared positions, that they change firing positions after every shot. This was especially true if they failed to kill their target with the first shot or the target had a supporting vehicle in overwatch. RPG gunners who were caught up in the heat of the moment and stood their ground were quickly killed.(13)
RPG-7s were especially valuable in executing an ambush. RPG positions were selected with particular care, then dug-in, reinforced and camouflaged. The area behind the firing positions were soaked for two-four meters in depth with water to prevent a tell-tale cloud of dust. The firing position was hidden within local foliage--brush, reeds, corn and tall grasses up to two meters high. It was only necessary to have a clear view of the target and an unimpeded pathway where the grenade could fly without be deflected by twigs and foliage. No matter how well camouflaged and watered-down a position, the launching signature of a RPG is unmistakable. The flash and the whitish blue-grey smoke is a clear giveaway and the surviving RPG gunner is one who quickly shifts positions or dives deep into a hole.
Helicopter Hunting
While the RPG was designed to kill tanks and other combat vehicles, it has brought down a number of helicopters as well. During the fighting in Mogadishu, Somalia in October 1994, the two US Army Blackhawk helicopters shot down were by the RPG. In Afghanistan, the Mujahideen found that the best anti-helicopter tactics were anti-helicopter ambushes. The first variant was to identify likely landing zones and mine them. Then the Mujahideen would position machine guns and RPGs around the landing zone. As the helicopter landed, massed RPG and machine gun fire would tear into the aircraft.(14)
If the Mujahideen could not lure helicopters into an ambush kill zone, the RPG could still engage helicopters. The Mujahideen found that a frontal shot at a range of 100 meters was optimum against an approaching helicopter.(15) As before, the more RPGs firing simultaneously, the better chance of a hit and escape from an avenging wingman.(16)
Should the helicopters be flying further away, it was better to wait until the helicopter was 700-800 meters away and then fire, trying to catch the helicopter with the explosion of the round's self-destruction at 920 meters distance. Chances of hitting a helicopter at this range by the self-destruct mechanism were very limited, but they served to discourage reconnaissance helicopters and air assault landings, particularly if a SA-7 Strela or a Stinger shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile was also firing.(17)
Combat in Cities
In December 1994, the Russian Army entered the break-away Republic of Chechnya and attempted to seize the Chechen capital of Grozny from the march. After this attempt failed, the Russian Army spent two months in deliberate house-to-house fighting before finally capturing the city.(18) During the fighting, the Russian conscript force was badly mauled by the more-mature, dedicated Chechen force. During the first month of the conflict, Russian forces wrote off 225 armored vehicles as non-repairable battle losses. This represents 10.23% of the armored vehicles initially committed to the campaign.(19) The bulk of these losses were due to shoulder-fired antitank weapons and antitank grenades.
The Chechen forces were armed with Soviet and Russian-produced weapons and most Chechen fighters had served in the Soviet Armed Forces. The Chechen lower-level combat group consisted of 15 to 20 personnel subdivided into three or four-man fighting cells. These cells had an antitank gunner (normally armed with the RPG-7 or RPG-18 shoulder-fired antitank rocket launcher), a machine gunner and a sniper.(20) Additional personnel served as ammunition bearers and assistant gunners. Chechen combat groups deployed these cells as anti-armor hunter-killer teams. The sniper and machine gunner would pin down the supporting infantry while the antitank gunner would engage the armored target. Teams deployed at ground level, in second and third stories, and in basements of buildings. Normally five or six hunter-killer teams simultaneously attacked a single armored vehicle. Kill shots were generally made against the top, rear and sides of vehicles. (See diagram 1) Chechens also dropped bottles filled with gasoline or jellied fuel on top of vehicles.(21) The Chechen hunter-killer teams tried to trap vehicle columns in city streets where destruction of the first and last vehicles will trap the column and allow its total destruction.
The elevation and depression angles of the Russian tank barrels were incapable of dealing with hunter-killer teams fighting from basements and second or third-story positions and the simultaneous attack from five or six teams negated the effectiveness of the tanks' machine guns. The Russians attached ZSU 23-4 and 2S6 track-mounted antiaircraft guns to armored columns to respond to these difficult-to-engage hunter-killer teams.(22)
Avoiding RPG Fires
The Soviets were not the only modern army to worry about the effectiveness of the RPG. South African and Namibian forces fighting Angolan guerrillas in Namibia during the 1980s learned to give the RPG a wide berth. Their standard drill, when traveling in an armored personnel carrier and encountering Angolan guerrillas with an RPG, was to immediately begin driving around the guerrillas in an ever-widening circle. They would fire into the circle with automatic weapons. The moving vehicle was harder for the guerrilla RPG gunner to hit and the soldiers were able to exploit their mobility and firepower.(23) Dismounting troops to advance on guerrillas while the stationary personnel carrier provides supporting fire is a good way to lose the carrier.
Tanks and other ground combat vehicles need to be protected against the RPG. Sandbagging and mounting reactive armor were reasonable solutions until the introduction of the anti-reactive armor PG-7VR tandem round. The best short-term solution appears to be fitting combat vehicles with a light-weight stand-off screen. When the Soviets moved through heavy vegetation in Afghanistan, they would sometimes walk a wall of high-explosive fragmentation rounds in front of the vehicles to keep the RPG gunners at bay--or at least to ruin their aim.(24) This is an expensive option in terms of artillery or mortar rounds, but it does work.
When practical, the best way to protect ground vehicles from the RPG is to put infantry well forward of the vehicles to find and destroy the RPG gunners. Combat vehicles should stay out of urban areas or areas dominated by overwatching terrain and tall trees until the infantry has cleared and posted the area. Moving under smoke or at night also helps protect ground vehicles. Convoys should have a security escort, smoke laying capability and helicopter coverage. All vehicle drivers should have several smoke grenades.(25)
There are several ways to protect helicopters from the RPG:
-Vary the take-off and landing directions from the helipads.
-Never fly a "race-track" or other identifiable pattern.
-Never follow streets, roads, canyons or river lines for any length.
-Always allow 500 meters between the helicopter and its wingman. This allows the wingman full range of his weaponry to engage RPG gunners.
-Vary the flight tactics and flying pattern, sometimes flying with two helicopters and sometimes with three.
-Prep a LZ with an over-pressure system (fuel-air) before landing.
-Use pathfinders on any LZ before committing the full landing force.
-Never set patterns by time, formation or sequence of events.(26)
The RPG-7 in Future Combat
The RPG-7 will be around for a good while yet. It is a proven, cheap killer of technology which will continue to play a significant role--particularly when conventional forces are pitted against irregular forces. Russian veterans are enthusiastic about the RPG-7 and have suggested that the Russians need to develop an antipersonnel round, an incendiary round, a smoke round, an illumination round and other special-purpose rounds to give the RPG-7 more flexibility in future combat. (27) US soldiers need to be aware of the RPG-7 and how it has been deployed. The chances are, whenever a US soldier is deployed to a trouble spot, the RPG-7 will be part of the local landscape.
Update: The US Army has lost almost 100 helicopters to RPGs and small arms fire in Afghanistan and Iraq, including some armored Apache attack helicopters. Most of these were not shot down, but damaged so badly they were scrapped.

For All Seasons: The Old But Effective RPG-7 Promises to Haunt the Battlefields of Tomorrow

The RPG-7 anti-tank grenade launcher is one of the most common and most effective infantry weapons in contemporary conflicts. It is rugged, simple and carries a lethal punch. Whether downing US Blackhawk helicopters in Somalia, blasting Russian tanks in Chechnya, or attacking government strong points in Angola, the RPG-7 is the weapon of choice for many infantrymen and guerrillas around the world.

The RPG-7 is a shoulder-fired, muzzle-loaded, antitank and antipersonnel grenade launcher which launches a variety of fin-stabilized, oversized grenades from a 40mm tube. The launcher with optical sight weighs 6.9 kilograms (15.2 pounds) and has a maximum effective range of 300 meters against moving point targets and 500 meters against stationary point targets.
The maximum range for antitank grenades against area targets is 920 meters, at which point the round self-destructs after its 4.5 second flight. The antipersonnel grenades reach over 1100 meters. Among the production grenades are the PG-7, PG-7M, PG-7N, and PG-7VL antitank grenades with armor penetrability of up to 600mm of rolled homogeneous steel. The PG-7VR is a tandem warhead designed to penetrate explosive reactive armor and the armor underneath. The OG-7 and OG-7M are high-explosive antipersonnel grenades.(2)

The Soviet -Afghan War lasted from 1979 to 1989 and pitted the local Mujahideen against the Soviet occupiers and the Afghan communist government. Afghanistan is a rugged land, full of towering mountains, vast deserts, "green zones"(7) and occasional forest. Guerrilla warfare favors the use of light infantry.

The RPG-7 was the Mujahideen weapon of choice and they proved its value as a light-weight killer against Soviet tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks and helicopters. The Soviets tried to stay at least 300 meters away from the Mujahideen--out of AK-47 Kalashinikov assault rifle and RPG- 7 moving target range.(8) The Mujahideen, on the other hand, tried to get in close and "hug" the Soviet force to escape Soviet artillery and air strikes while using their RPGs to good effect.(9)

The chances of hitting the target with a lethal shot are greatly increased by firing a number of shots at close range. Further, the vehicle under attack has less of a chance to react to the attack.
The rebels in Tadjikistan in 1992 applied this same technique when attacking T-72 tanks equipped with reactive armor.

These cells had an antitank gunner (normally armed with the RPG-7 or RPG-18 shoulder-fired antitank rocket launcher), a machine gunner and a sniper.(20) Additional personnel served as ammunition bearers and assistant gunners. Chechen combat groups deployed these cells as anti-armor hunter-killer teams. The sniper and machine gunner would pin down the supporting infantry while the antitank gunner would engage the armored target. Teams deployed at ground level, in second and third stories, and in basements of buildings. Normally five or six hunter-killer teams simultaneously attacked a single armored vehicle. Kill shots were generally made against the top, rear and sides of vehicles. (See diagram 1) Chechens also dropped bottles filled with gasoline or jellied fuel on top of vehicles.(21) The Chechen hunter-killer teams tried to trap vehicle columns in city streets where destruction of the first and last vehicles will trap the column and allow its total destruction.
The elevation and depression angles of the Russian tank barrels were incapable of dealing with hunter-killer teams fighting from basements and second or third-story positions and the simultaneous attack from five or six teams negated the effectiveness of the tanks' machine guns. The Russians attached ZSU 23-4 and 2S6 track-mounted antiaircraft guns to armored columns to respond to these difficult-to-engage hunter-killer teams.(22)
Avoiding RPG Fires
The Soviets were not the only modern army to worry about the effectiveness of the RPG. South African and Namibian forces fighting Angolan guerrillas in Namibia during the 1980s learned to give the RPG a wide berth. Their standard drill, when traveling in an armored personnel carrier and encountering Angolan guerrillas with an RPG, was to immediately begin driving around the guerrillas in an ever-widening circle. They would fire into the circle with automatic weapons. The moving vehicle was harder for the guerrilla RPG gunner to hit and the soldiers were able to exploit their mobility and firepower.(23) Dismounting troops to advance on guerrillas while the stationary personnel carrier provides supporting fire is a good way to lose the carrier.
Tanks and other ground combat vehicles need to be protected against the RPG. Sandbagging and mounting reactive armor were reasonable solutions until the introduction of the anti-reactive armor PG-7VR tandem round. The best short-term solution appears to be fitting combat vehicles with a light-weight stand-off screen. When the Soviets moved through heavy vegetation in Afghanistan, they would sometimes walk a wall of high-explosive fragmentation rounds in front of the vehicles to keep the RPG gunners at bay--or at least to ruin their aim.(24) This is an expensive option in terms of artillery or mortar rounds, but it does work.
When practical, the best way to protect ground vehicles from the RPG is to put infantry well forward of the vehicles to find and destroy the RPG gunners. Combat vehicles should stay out of urban areas or areas dominated by overwatching terrain and tall trees until the infantry has cleared and posted the area. Moving under smoke or at night also helps protect ground vehicles. Convoys should have a security escort, smoke laying capability and helicopter coverage. All vehicle drivers should have several smoke grenades.(25)
There are several ways to protect helicopters from the RPG:
-Vary the take-off and landing directions from the helipads.
-Never fly a "race-track" or other identifiable pattern.
-Never follow streets, roads, canyons or river lines for any length.
-Always allow 500 meters between the helicopter and its wingman. This allows the wingman full range of his weaponry to engage RPG gunners.
-Vary the flight tactics and flying pattern, sometimes flying with two helicopters and sometimes with three.
-Prep a LZ with an over-pressure system (fuel-air) before landing.
-Use pathfinders on any LZ before committing the full landing force.
-Never set patterns by time, formation or sequence of events.(26)
The RPG-7 in Future Combat
The RPG-7 will be around for a good while yet. It is a proven, cheap killer of technology which will continue to play a significant role--particularly when conventional forces are pitted against irregular forces. Russian veterans are enthusiastic about the RPG-7 and have suggested that the Russians need to develop an antipersonnel round, an incendiary round, a smoke round, an illumination round and other special-purpose rounds to give the RPG-7 more flexibility in future combat. (27) US soldiers need to be aware of the RPG-7 and how it has been deployed. The chances are, whenever a US soldier is deployed to a trouble spot, the RPG-7 will be part of the local landscape.
Update: The US Army has lost almost 100 helicopters to RPGs and small arms fire in Afghanistan and Iraq, including some armored Apache attack helicopters. Most of these were not shot down, but damaged so badly they were scrapped.

What the Well Dressed Insurgent is Wearing
Screw "Tea Parties". It's all a diversion. I mean, where were these guys when Bush the War Criminal was burning though millions of dollars a second? Maybe someone should tell Newt Gingrich that it was Bush who started the bailouts, not Obama. These poor souls mean well and their hearts are in the right place yet they just don't understand what they are up against. But I digress.
For a real party, the fashionable insurgent is always in demand. What does the he/she wear? Let's have a look!
First, you need a good pair of steel toed boots. In addition to protecting your feet, it also adds that little extra when kicking your opponent.
Next you need a good MOLLE vest. MOLLE stands for MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment and is the core piece of your fighting gear. The good thing about MOLLE gear is you can accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! You can add mag pouches
Frag grenades
Radio gear
utility pouches
And trauma kits!
just about anything you need to make sure you be the winner in the fight!
So what vest to wear? So many decisions! Up first is our plate carrier model. This is good when you are in a rifle fight and are expecting some really fast spinning things to come your way.
Of course, Plates are not included!
Next is the tactical vest. This is usually used by the pigs who expect little or no resistance from their target or don't expect any prolonged firefights. good for when you are carrying out targeted assassinations and have the element of surprise. Notice the loops for your utility belt.
Or you could choose a chest rig. This for those who don't want to lug around extra weight associated with plates or need something lightweight for those missions that require it.
To round it all out, don't forget your gloves
And your way cool Baclava Mask
Comes in sizes for the lady insurgents too!
Finally, it's time to choose your weapon.
Do you want it in Black?
Or in genuine wood trim
Whatever you get, don't forget your optics!
And don't forget to stuff these in your MOLLE pouches before you go. You'll need them!
Godspeed, Warriors. Your people are depending on you!
Valhalla, I am coming!!!!!

Don't Put Your Eye Out
Now that our resident Buddha Belly has his own weapon, I thought it would be good to review some safety procedures to ensure he doesn't put his eye out, or accidentally shoot his mangy dawg.
First up, we have a government sponsored handgun safety course. Try not to laugh too hard.
Next we have a real expert with some real tips. So easy, even a child could follow them!
Just so you missed it the first time, here's yo mamma to reiterate. Always listen to your mamma!
And when you get real good, one day you'll be able to do this! After you get rid of that ZZ-Top beard and buddha belly. There goes Buddha, huffing and puffing!
Hewww, that was a good one, boys! Serpa are good retention holsters.

AR-15 Rifle Basics
Now that my testosterone levels are up and I have my man card back, I thought I'd post up some video for all patriots who are preparing for the glorious revolution. Picked this off of incogman's site from a poster named American. Good find!
And in light of this being the passover for all true Christians and not the so-called Judeo-Xians, let us recall the words of our Lord Jesus Christ:
And He said to them, "When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?" They said, "No, nothing."
And He said to them, "But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along, likewise also a bag, and whoever has no sword is to sell his coat and buy one.
"For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, 'AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH TRANSGRESSORS'; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment."
They said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And He said to them, "It is enough."
Christ told his disciples to arm themselves, because Christ was not a jew.(great video, scenes from the passion included).

There is Hope in The Scope
"Watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical! A liberal! O a fanatical criminal!"
Today we're going to go into sniping. Sniping is fun and rewarding. If you've ever been out sniping varmints on a Saturday afternoon, you'll know what I'm talking about. And believe me, in today's target rich environment, there are lots and lots of varmints just waiting for the chance to jump out in front of you!
I'm not going to go into what kind of rifle you should choose, because the opinions are as numerous as jews in DC. Some like bolt actions in 308, others like 30.06, others like .243. Some like the Remington 700, other like the Mauser or Mosin-Nagant (which can fill in as a nice club when all else fails!) and so on. Personally, I think the AR with a 1/7 twist with 75gr hollow points and a good variable scope is the ticket in urban situations but only because I like to have backup in case the first shot doesn't do the trick or there are other targets to engage in a hurry. However, if you have a spotter who happens to be carrying a select fire rifle then by all means, go with the bolt-action and something that can go though concrete and cars!
So, today we're going to go to the basics. This is probably old hat to some out there but we are looking to train for the future. Tomorrow belongs to us!
First up is scope mounts. This is important because you need to maximize the sight picture in the quickest possible time. Also, you don't want to be pinching your cheek or getting into an uncomfortable position. That makes for no fun! In addition, since scope mounts are the weakest link in a scoped system, you'll need to consider the type of mount to get. Here we have a video that talks about this when selecting a mount.
Next, we'll look at scopes. These videos are not by any means exhaustive on the subject, but you get the general idea.
Finally, the old fashioned way of boresighting, for those of us who are too cheap to buy a boresighter!
If you type in "larry potterfield" at youtube you'll find lots of good videos by the owner of Midway/USA.
Hopefully this has been a help for some, and a review for others. Any comments that have the benefit of experience would be great to those budding snipers out there just waiting to go into action. Yeeeha!

Weapons Training - AR-15
Heads up! I'm going to turn you soft, white, good for nothings into real Guerrillas, if it kills me (again) to do so!
When we were riding in western Missouri-Eastern Kansas burning down Jayhawker Dens and putting bullets in Bluebellies waving that god forsaken Stars and Stripes, we came into a lot of different weapons that we had to use, and thus become familiar with. In the next Civil War, you'll run into the same thing. Therefore, you'll need to cross train and learn to use these weapons effectively against the enemy.
For example, talking out a ZOG sniper will leave you in possession of a Remington 700bolt action chambered in .308. Raiding a police station or an armory will garner you a whole mess of M16s in different "A" configurations.
Here we have our Friend again, (I don't think he's anti-racist) who knows his guns. The AR is a very versatile weapon, highly customisable, and ammo is unlimited. I would recommend as a minimum a flashlight and a holosight on the weapon. As for as the upper, I would personally get a 1-9 twist or (UPDATE: FASTER!) , as this will allow you to shoot standard military ammo (55grain) and heavier with good accuracy.
DPMS is a good choice for the money.
Here we have an invader that has had military experience in the ZOG Imperial Army. The reason I post this is twofold: One, to show you the correct way to insert a magazine into an AR (for those used to the AK, pay attention! Every nanosecond counts) and to show you that not only YOU have weapons and know how to use them. You must be BETTER.
Here we have a demonstration of clearing a malfunction.
Good luck, future Gorillas! Yeeha!

Weapons Training - AK47 - Speed Loading
Alright, you Bushwackers. Those of you with the AK-47, the arm of the resistance, listen up! When I was raiding Federal Troops and shooting down jayhawkers like the dogs they were, we had to be fast. For those of you that will be using the AK as your primary weapon, you'll need to learn how to get your empty weapon reloaded and into service quickly. Here are some videos for you to study.
First up is this video. You might want to turn the sound down as I can'ts stand that yankee music.
This one is actually demonstrated by an agent of the enemy. This guy is a Fed and has had advanced training with among other things, Frontsite. Notice so far, how the bolt is cocked using your "weak" (non shooting hand) and from underneath.
Here we have what appears to be an Anti-white racist. Why do I think that? Because he's in a house and it's so cold his breath is steaming. Only a brokedick antifa would do that. Of course, I could be wrong but regardless, he demonstrates how to do what we've seen so far in an instructional manner. Now, he says to hit the release lever with the bottom of the mag, which you can do, but you'll gain nano seconds by using the "edge" of the mag against the release lever.
Now we return to our federal friend, because how better to learn techniques than from the enemy you will fight? Notice how he clears the jam and reloads.
So, what have we learned so far? Use your non shooting hand, always keeping your firing hand ready. With an AK, you'll want to make sure the mag is empty and not just jammed by looking sideways as you rack the bolt and then quickly inserting a fresh magazine so that you can continue to give the enemy ample opportunity to die for HIS country. Got it?
Okay, I want you all to practice this technique until it becomes second nature. Remember, you're going to be going up against the ZOG and you have to be quick or be dead. This is something you can practice in your home with EMPTY mags.
Good luck, Patriots, and remember, If I can do it, you can too! training is the key.

Tools of the Revolution - #2
Before you enemies of freedom and truth run off to the FBI, the ATF and all the other secret police agencies shrieking about illegal postings, you should know that silencer ownership in the United States, while strictly regulated, is legal. What is illegal is the manufacture of said items without the proper license.
That being said, Here are some videos for Revolutionary Patriots to evaluate should they decide to buy/build this valuable tool in eliminating high value enemy targets.
First up is the Gemetech Outback for the .22 and the Bowers ATAS 45 Can.
Next up is the CCF/B&T Impuls-IIa suppressor, wet. Wet simply means you have lithium or other heat resistant grease in the can to help cool the gases.
Now to Rifles. To silence the AR-15 effectively, you'll need subsonic ammo and a heavier bullet, usually up to 300gr, in order for the action to cycle. here's an example. In an Urban Environment, this is a very effective weapon.
That's it for today folks, soon we'll be discussing other required tools for the up and coming revolution.
