You sound one step away from unironically saying "the founding fathers were talking about muskets"

typical anarkiddies, always having their priorities straight

>this a thing that happens when people substitute belief in the masses or organizing within the masses for their small group, and they compensate for the lack of effectiveness by ramping up the radical aesthetics and "militant" posture
this is everyone in leftypol who cant shut up about muh guns

Its better than nothing
I suppose some would prefer if we were all castrated liberals engaging in the public discourse, but we dont have a place there, because we are threats

Looks like they're all back, rejoice

cant wait until wearing ballistic helmets in public becomes normalized

Could build yourself a pillbox with steel and bricks if it's in your home. Or something funnier like this one guy who had renovated his house with a reinforced door so he could lock himself upstairs and shoot trough holes in the floor.

>Watching the latest NY shooter video got me thinking, how if at all possible could one survive a mass shooting?

Just pull out your gun and shoot back at them. If you have nothing, then charge them. Running is for pussies. You'll only be shot in the back. Hiding is for pussies. You'll only be doubletapped.

This tbh

This is nonsense.

the Tu-4; It is obviously based on the B-29, that is not denied by anyone, however there are major differences in their construction.

Soviet engineers were tasked with reverse-engineering the several B-29s the USSR had in it’s possession; impounded USAF bombers (under the terms of the 1941 Soviet-Japanese Neutrality treaty) which were forced to land in Soviet territory after flying bombing missions against Japan.
The B-29’s fuselage was made of an 1/16 inch thick plates, or 1.5875 mm. The Soviets used a metric system, so there was no way or logic to produce/use such plates, only 1.5 or 1.6mm. This meant that it could not be applied directly to the original B-29 plans because of mass, length and rigidity changes in the air-frame. So Tu-4 air-frame was redesigned, (increasing and redefining size and dimensions) with the plating being made of 1.8 and 0.8mm plates.
Other differences also existed. The Tu 4 used 20mm guns in its defensive mounts, and later mounted 23mm guns, (both of which were far more effective at defense, having a longer range, able to contend in distance with the 30 and 25 millimeter guns of fighters of the time), and with a heavy enough hit to seriously damage attackers with explosive force, rather than the cleanly punched holes the .50 M2 left. Or the engines; the Tu-4’s ASh-73 radial engines were not copies of the B-29’s Wright R-3350 “Duplex Cyclone” radial engines as is often (falsely) claimed. The two engines were in fact separately developed from the same “grandparent”: the R-3350 was an evolutionary development of the Wright R-1820 Cyclone engine, whereas the ASh-73TK was an evolutionary development of the Shvetsov M-25 which was a licensed copy of that same engine. This common ancestry meant that many parts were similar or even interchangeable between the two engines, but the only component of the Duplex Cyclone engine which the Soviets actually copied was the turbo-supercharger unit. The Tu-4s engines did not include the R-3350’s lightweight magnesium-alloy crankcase, which increased weight but also eliminated the Duplex Cyclone’s infamous tendency towards engine fires so catastrophically hot that they could melt the wing spars in literal seconds. The differences are seen in capability as well. The Tu-4 was about 750kg heavier, 10 mph slower (big difference that is) and carried only 6000kg (Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Literally no one listens to Trotsky and takes over the key infrastructure. Literally just need 20 guys at the power and water plants in every city. Why would you storm the capital?

ong I was reading the part about coastal ports and realized assuming we accept the whole other countries get involved shit why tf wouldnt the Accella corridor just become an EU/Anglosphere proxy and China get a west coast proxy?

I feel like you'd end up with each coast becoming some wierd rump state but not a terrible place to live in and the interior either being a complete syria tier clusterfuck or just an actual christofascist backwater. me personally I wouldn't mind living in a chinese proxy state in california

I haven't seen anyone bring this up yet, but what happens to Uncle Sam's nuclear arsenal if an actual civil war kicks off?

I don't know where I read it but I recall coming across a document that was outlining a possible operation by Canada to support the US in any sort of aid to civil power and vice versa. What Canada or Mexico could provide however is incredibly minuscule because I would assume both countries would be focused on securing their insanely long borders. Canada specifically would have to deal with a mass amount of refugees at its borders.

75% desertion rate? That is way too generous. I can tell this poster is some knucklehead who is overestimating grunt talk as being some sort of measure for action.

Also why do these people assume "oh yeah they're camping all the time theyll definitely win in a civil war"? As if local forces also don't have knowledge of land, intelligence, and strategy?

Russia can barely support a war in Ukraine, they can't do much in an American operation outside of sending a few emissaries and spies. How would they get supplies in and from where? That being said…

The point about the Texas grid hasn't aged well.

Use it as a blunderbuss and praise Stalin?
I dunno what do you want us to say?

is that a PCP gun? you can get some joules out of those, sometimes enough to kill a man if you get a good hit

>NaOH and aluminium
doesn't sound as bad as
>HCl and zinc
both should explode due to buildup of H2 gas. hot HCl is almost surely worse than hot NaOH. however:
>KOH and aluminium
potassium lye is quite aggressive. neither of these are deadly. if you want be really dangerous you should do
>HCl and TCCA
this will build up Cl2 gas which, apart from exploding, will be in deadly concentrations within around a meter of the blast radius, depending on the mass of ingredients. in a confined space this will be far worse

Ingredients:
-A moderately thick glass bottle that will shatter on impact but won't break in your hands
-A rag made of flammable fabric cut into strips
-Some sort of fuel with a syrup-y consistency if you want it to stick well (a good formula is dissolving styrofoam in acetone and mixing the resulting solution with an equal amount of gasoline; the Finns that coined the term Molotov cocktail thickened their gasoline with roofing tar)
1. Fill the bottle with the fuel in an open air or ventilated space
2. Tape a strip of rag around the neck to protect your hands from the heat
3. Shortly before you plan on throwing it, dip one half of a long rag strip into the fuel while the stuffing the other half in the neck of the bottle, plugging it while leaving about 5 cm hanging out
4. Light the rag and throw

This only works if you expect the invaders to occupy instead of just killing you. The US pissed around for two decades making opium, if they wanted to kill every single Afghan man, woman, and child the war would have been over in a year.

You do realize almost all wars are fought to occupy a country, not commit total genocide

>Flags like, it's a flag, but attached to a relatively thick wooden stick
like the ones our Greek comrades like to carry in the front rears of their demonstrations
as you can see they're also big into motorcycling

fashoids will never attack an org meeting cause they are opportunistic druggies ,they will either muster forces and attack an antifascist rally in hopes of coming out of it as the victims or a random girl handing out leaflets putting up posters , you will very rarely get into a pre planned fight with a fasch

Security:put up a large guy or two in the door ,same thing in a public meeting make sure you have enough guys to defend yourself and lookouts

>>2643
My first thought will be to evaluate the risks, and prepare defense against the most plausible ones.
Why would fascists be the first one to attack?
I would think the government would be, that's how it rolls here anyway.
