I wonder if anyone has ever done a study on how many fighters would be required for a unit to resist neutralization (defined as encirclement and defeat in detail) by the average local law enforcement agency?

The Hollywood bank robbers walked rough-shod over the locals for quite spell if i recall correctly, and there were only two of them.

meh... Easier to make money than it is to steal it. At least, it will be until the Messiah's Congress gets through with us.

My answer would be 8 people. Two fireteams. One set as lookout and ambush for LEO response, the other for cover and extraction of "assets".

You might get away, but more than likely with an Op that big someone would get caught and squeal.

Better to buy CD's and commodities. Better ROI and you get to keep it.

If just 1 or 2% of gun owners “went active” when they heard of an unconstitutional gun-grabbing SWAT action taking place, and stalked the ring of SWAT vehicles and personnel from the rear, such actions would come to a screeching halt. It's a modern reflection of what Solzhenitsyn said in his big “what if” in Gulag. And he was referring only to near suicidal hypothetical actions of apartment dwellers attacking the KGB men with hand tools and knives. And even at that level, attacking the state organs on roundups would have stopped those actions cold. How much more difficult would it be for modern SWAT units on unconstitutional gun sweeps, if they had to deal with one shot snipers from 360* at any time? They would need 10X the personnel (an impossibility) to deal with *360 security.

That debacle was 99% the fault of the cops on the scene. They let the battle rattle of full auto rattle them. When they couldn't bring down the perps with sidearms or shotguns, they raced into nearby sporting goods stores and "borrowed" AR15s. That was the mistake. Should have gathered the scope sighted deer and elk rifles. Even without a proper zero, one shot could have done the job on each nicely. Any 30-06, .308 or 7mm magnum would do a fine job with a headshot or throat shot.
