I'm not by myself. Thinking realistically who in the fuck would go through the effort to raid a couple hundred guys when they have a damn BTR

afterall a anti tank gun isin't too hard to manufacture or you could run into some jackass with a toyota pickup with a spg on the back

Someone that wants the BTR.

Someone that's desperate.

Always trying to go against the process that everyone else has to follow

Fucking bullshit

someone who is threatened by it

Someone that thinks they can take you.

It would be way easier for a few guys to just go raid from the townspeople than to raid the camp

true

like i said, it is a good idea if you can keep it low profile

I'm not saying it wouldn't draw attention once they found out. But it wouldn't mean we'd get more raiders

If they can take you, then they'll have a BTR to take out of the village.

"My camp is too perfect" = "My camp is a prize" = "My camp is a target."

but depending on what happens you might have some people forming makeshift army's to take stuff back and if a organized effort is used to crush a "point of resistance" i wouldn't be surprised if people came with semi modern stuff

If we're talking teotwaki, maybe even the village doesn't want you there.

tbf i think if the us ever gets to a point where preppers are needed, then outside forces would flock to prop up groups

but, thats just my thoughts on it

@Mr.Black Yeah no it could happen. It would be insane though. Taking on a couple hundred guys with a btr would require insane manpower that wouldn't really make a lot of sense in my eyes

but again, you're free to see it differently

Sure, but in the time between shtf and the cavalry arriving, you'll need to be able to hold your own.

chances are they wouldn't attack you untill they think they could crush you

Only an idiot fights a fair fight.

and if they don't know you have armor then you can use it in the same way the Germans used camod panzers to shift how there battels were fought

yeah

that would be best

Best, so don't bet on it.

only down side to the btr in my honest thoughts are that it has no night optics or thermal

so

invest in that.

Using it as a force projection would be a waste. You just want it to protect yourself in case

I agree on that one definitely

you could use it as a force projection but i would use very light apcs and maybe only one at a time like the brdm-2

I mean if you had like a lot then maybe lol

because a normal 50 will go through that

But now we're talking about getting real big

i mean

toyota with a spg on the back worked for isis

Which would be awesome though

lol
