Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

The capacity isn't a big issue. It's the accuracy that matters.

Those particular models are decent at hunting distances. Not so much at longer ones.

They aren't meant to spray and pray, or even for sustained use. They're meant for a specific use case.

They also, imo, aren't great for the kind of game the pictures they use make it seem they're supposed to be good for. Penetration just isn't reliable, and falls off as the tank does. They'd be fine for some game, but you aren't taking down a deer with them reliably, or similar sized targets.

What they could do, in the context of this community, is discourage long pigs in certain circumstances. Move in, set up, damage a few targets with minimum sound, move out quick. Would a suppressed rifle be better? Absolutely. But, as the title of the post indicates, it's a workaround for when that isn't an option.
