Join the Militia | Which Gun? | Firearms | Accessories | Books | Videos
JOIN THE MILITIAWe believe civilians have a duty to help defend their nation and essential freedoms by becoming a member of a state militia like the WWII era Home Guard. If no such organization exists we hope you will join or start a private militia group. Membership is the key factor of a successful militia. It is far better to have a lot of members who are armed with legally available bolt action rifles than a handful of people with illegally obtained automatic weapons. We also recommend you join a national gun owner group like the NRA in order to help protect your right to keep and bear arms.Return to Index |
WHICH GUN?Become familiar with the small arms used by your nation's armed forces and, if possible, acquire the same type of rifle and pistol used by its soldiers. That said, we recommend the firearms listed below. Self-loading rifles are best due to their rapidity of fire, which makes them ideal for suppressing fire and recon by fire missions, as well as leading, traversing and bracketing fire. Pump and lever action rifles have poor extraction of modern high pressure rifle rounds. Bolt action rifles are excellent for sniping but too slow to reload for close range combat, so users are advised to obtain a pistol.Return to Index |
FIREARMS
Glock [ 9x19mm Parabellum ] PDF info sheet Gaston Glock's 9mm handguns make the best service pistols due to its unsurpassed combination of reliability, durability, simplicity and ease of use. We recommend the original (and best) Model 17. The best type of ammunition for military use is the armour piercing variety. [manual] 
Kalashnikov AK47 [ 7.62x39mm Russian ] PDF info sheet Mikhail Kalashnikov's AK47 is the best service rifle due to its unequalled combination of reliability, durability, simplicity and firepower. We recommend the Arsenal M-7 series rifles (best made) and the Cugir WASR-10 HI-CAP (best value). Rounds loaded with steel core FMJ bullets are best due to their excellent penetration. [manual] 
Mauser 1898 [ 7.62x51mm NATO / .308 Winchester ] PDF info sheet Paul Mauser's Model 1898 is the best bolt action service rifle due to its unmatched combination of reliability, durability, accuracy and safety. We recommend the Zastava LK M48/63 carbine (called the M63 Tanker Mauser by the US importer). The Bofors 7.62mm AP round is best (designated the M993 by the US Army). [manual] Return to Index |
ACCESSORIESSteiner 6x30 Military R [ binocular ]The best general purpose field binocular. This shock resistant porro prism binocular is waterproof to 5m, easy to hold steady, and has a wide field of view (144m at 1000m). It also has 20mm of eye relief for eyeglass wearers (fold down eyecups), a 5mm exit pupil (the minimum needed), and a reticle rangefinder. Steiner. Bushnell Elite 1500 Laser Rangefinder (20-5100) [ rangefinder ] This waterproof 7x26mm laser rangefinder monocular is good enough for the US Army, which ordered thousands of them in 2008. It uses a readily available 9v battery and floats. It also has an eyepiece with an adjustable diopter (+/- 2), a highly desirable feature not found on some other rangefinders. Bushnell. Thermal-Eye X50 [ thermal imaging monocular ] This waterproof thermal imager is ideal for finding people in total darkness or when vision is compromised by smoke, bright lights, glare or shadows. It is powered by two AA batteries which can last up to five hours, or a DC mains adaptor (it can be connected to a monitor for use as a remote surveillance camera). Thermal-Eye. Bushnell 2x24mm Night Vision Monocular (26-0224W) [ night viewer ] This night vision monocular is waterproof and has an infrared illuminator for use in total darkness. Although much less useful than a thermal imager this product is far less expensive than the X50 (which is cheap for a thermal imager but costs about 10 times as much as the Bushnell). It uses two AA batteries. Bushnell. Chemical/Bio Incident Escape Mask [ smoke hood ] The C/B Incident Escape Mask weighs about four ounces, comes in a 5"x 4.25"x 0.5" sealed bag and provides users with an excellent field of view that facilitates the use of rifles. This single use device protects users from most airborne hazards (not carbon monoxide) for at least 15 minutes. US Cavalry. CTS 6210 White Smoke [ smoke grenade ] This medium size smoke grenade discharges smoke for 30-40 seconds and is very useful for signalling, diversion and concealment purposes. If military type smoke grenades are unavailable in your area we recommend the McMurdo Pains Wessex Orange Lifesmoke Mk 5 Canister. Combined Tactical Systems. Arktis Security Personnel Vest [ load carrying vest ] This adjustable low profile load carrying vest that is concealable under a jacket. It contains: 4 single rifle mag pouches; 1 adjustable radio pouch; 1 GPS/FFD pouch; 1 pistol holder; 2 pistol mag pouches; 2 internal 220mm x 240mm zip pockets. It is a backless design to aid cooling. Arktis. M7 Coalition Chest Rig [ load carrying vest ] A large military type load carrying vest. It contains: 3 double rifle mag pouches; 2 large utility pouches; 2 frag grenade pouches; 1 zipped utility pouch; 2 map document pouches. MOLLE strips on the shoulder straps allow one to attach a radio pouch, torch, etc. This backless design is well suited to use in vehicles. The Kit Bag. Monarch Summit +P+ / SPA + [ soft body armour ] The SPA + carrier provides protection against most pistol and SMG bullets when fitted with the Monarch Summit +P+ soft body armour inserts (ideally with a trauma plate), which may stop some rifle bullets slowed and fragmented by cover. It is light and readily concealable, unlike bulky assault vests with heavy plates. Second Chance. Vertex Standard VX-426 [ handheld CB radio ] The 5-watt VX-426 UHF CB Handheld transceiver is water and dust resistant, has a built in voice scrambler, and can use readily available AA batteries via the FBA-25A Alkaline Case. We also recommend the MH-37A4B Earpiece/Microphone and ATU-7D Stubby Antenna. Prestige Communications. SureFire EP-3 / EP-4 Sonic Defenders [ hearing protection ] These non-electronic ear plugs substantially reduce noise above 80-dB and allow users to have a conversation, thanks to the Hocks Noise Braker filter. Earmuffs should also be worn when target shooting to maximize hearing protection. SureFire also makes a range of torches and weapon lights. SureFire. Return to Index |
