For those who are good at smuggling, also consider the non-Canadian (non-gibbled) variant of the FN P90:

  • This is a bullpup semi automatic that works exceptionally well in the urban environment.
  • The short barrel variety can be equally as mobile inside of structures as a sawed-off shotgun, if not more so. Plus, far less telegraphing of your presence (muzzle precession) as you go around corners compared to non-bullpup long guns.
  • Each of its 3 magazines can hold 50 rounds, and two magazines can be stored inside the shoulder stock.
  • The brass is ejected straight downwards, and the grip is totally ambidextrous, which means it can be handed off between righties and lefties with zero mods needed. No hot brass to the face simply because the prior user was differently-handed.
  • The UN ammo that is standard for it has limited range, which means it is less likely to have secondary down range casualties, yet still comes in a wide variety of slug types including body-armour-piercing.

If you want to see this weapon in use, pick up any season of Stargate SG1.

Downside is that the ammo isn’t cheap. In fact, it’s stupidly expensive. But the P90 is also used by many U.S. divisions such as the Secret Service, so the ammo can be “acquired”.

Fighting the US force gun vs. gun is just silly and a perfect recipe for both getting yourself killed and probably just making things worse as it gets more of the US public on side against us.

If they were to invade Canada you’d be much better off blending in and quietly sabotaging anything they’re involved in. If they go after power or natural resources you quietly sabotage that infrastructure to destroy their profits costing them time and money.

The idea is to blend in as a good worker bee and just keep making life slow difficult and expensive for them until they can’t take anymore and leave with tails between their legs as is the history of every American occupation since WWII.

Yes, and? Force vs force is stupid. No military could win in a toe-to-toe conflict with America.

But running a guerrilla insurgency without weapons? That’s even worse than stupid. You might as well explicitly line up to be shot.

Now, the efficient method is to pick up the tools and supplies that they drop. But you gotta make them drop shit in the first place, and then you’re limited to what they drop.
