The handgun is for fighting your way to the long guns....
Take the long guns off the bodies of the assassinated members of the invasion force. Then turn them against the enemy.
Equalization of what had been asymmetrical warfare.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Thanks for the re-post & marked
I’ve always said that better the death of Masada than the death of Dachau. The first only takes courage the second only needs despair.
Still a classic
“How we burned later in the camps...”
I found myself in a similar discussion once with a liberal who didn’t get it. She said “you can’t stop the army with your little gun.” I tried to explain that I don’t have to kill the army, only the tyrant.
“The theory and practice of it was this: First, you approach a German sentry with your little pistol hidden in your coat pocket and, with Academy-award sincerity, ask him for a light for your cigarette (or the time the train leaves for Paris, or if he wants to buy some non-army-issue food or a half- hour with your “sister”). When he smiles and casts a nervous glance down the street to see where his Sergeant is, you blow his brains out with your first and only shot, then take his rifle and ammunition. Your next few minutes are occupied with “getting out of Dodge,” for such critters generally go around in packs. After that (assuming you evade your late benefactor’s friends) you keep the rifle and hand your little pistol to a fellow Resistance fighter so he can go get his own rifle.”
The rebel pacification measures recounted here aren’t unique to the Nazis, given that they are mentioned repeatedly in historical accounts going back thousands of years. But collective reprisals remain brutally effective, because they hold as hostages everyone that potential rebels might hold dear. They might be willing to sacrifice their own lives, but are they willing to risk the lives of all of their relatives and friends?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidice_massacre
The small Czech village of Leáky was destroyed two weeks after Lidice after Gestapo agents found a radio transmitter there of an underground team who parachuted in with Kubi and Gabcík. Men and women of the village were shot and the children were sent to concentration camps or “Aryanised”. The death toll resulting from the effort to avenge the death of Heydrich is estimated at over 1,300 people.[17] This count includes relatives of the partisans, their supporters, Czech elites suspected of disloyalty and random victims like those from Lidice.
The Germans burned and machine gunned dozens of people in retribution in some instances of attack by resistance. The French collaborated at a high rate anyway, and the resistance seldom engaged combat. Their main value was in their potential to strike anywhere, and in providing intelligence.
The popular image of dashing French resistance fighters blowing railroads and sniping sentries, and walking up to sentries and shooting them in the face with Liberator pistols, is mainly fiction. Fiction encouraged by the French to overshadow their rampant collaboration and the fact that most resistance were commie shitstains with little support from the populace much of the time.c
