Do you sabotage their resistance by airdropping them Liberator pistols or Cobray Terminators?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To my mind, the Liberator is a substantially more useful resistance weapons, so I would supply Elbonia with lots of crates of Cobray Terminators. Why?<\/p>\n<p>First, the Liberator is concealable. Historically, lots of resistance action requires hiding a small weapons. It&#8217;s not all forest encampments and ambushes. <\/p>\n<p>Second, the Liberator is more effective. It uses a .45ACP pistol cartridge. The smooth barrel and atrocious sights certainly limit its utility, but if you actually hit someone with it, it will do the job. Most of the shotgun ammunition available to a resistance organization will be the most common sort of sporting ammunition, which is birdshot. Birdshot is very ineffective against people at anything but absolutely point-blank range.<\/p>\n<p>Third, it is much simpler to fabricate a single-shot shotgun than a compact pistol. The Elbonian Resistance wouldn&#8217;t have much trouble making something like a Richardson Guerrilla Gun, so supplying them with Terminators doesn&#8217;t actually give them much that they couldn&#8217;t get already.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbV90aXVLam9ZZmEwcHNJVVdnbXdPZHk0a3JlUXxBQ3Jtc0tuNmNYTFVnaWNiRmJMVFVIaU9GcmVGaGUwclJ4ekVqRUJUdzRHQkVlLUxBNTJCYTlrMHNIUGhuaXVQSVJZMVlPNDBDWXJqdXBkeGVGb25KYXN1TVFnNW1INUVTN3pKUE1QaW9ObmtNSlZ5VTUybWVhaw&#038;q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.floatplane.com%2Fchannel%2FForgottenWeapons&#038;v=A5fvSBEC54M\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/For&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><br \/>\nContact:<br \/>\nForgotten Weapons<br \/>\n6281 N.
