The Kalishnikov bayonet, as issued, is useuaal pretty miserable, charpened on only one edge like a hoe or some other agricultural tools, case-hardened and file resistant, and generally requiring at least the resources of a home shop to be turned into a useful field knife. But they're cheap, and available worldwide.
Funny thing about that Master Lock photo, and the Liberator. Master used to run a t.v. commercial with a man shooting the lock in the center, with a rifle. Well...if he shot it on the side, where it locks the hasp in...open ! One can wail on the largest Master lock with a hammer, especially Muttly-favorite hand sledge or other persuader...and no key needed again. They do slow down most thieves, though.
Yep. And though a railroad spike or wedge driven through the shackle will generally shatter that hardened component, or a shim can be used to unlock the unit without a key at all. But I'd really made the post to get folks thinking about an updtated Liberator pistol design made of laminated stamped sheets.
Also wholeheartedly agree with Jeff's assessment about humans being this way until "fixed," and that only One can and will do that. Gives me great peace to know that all these preparations are prudent...but are also, as am I at ALL times, in the hands of the merciful and kind Creator...so hopefully all this is an interesting and useful hobby.
If I knew for an absolute certainty that I'd never again have to fire a round at another human being, I'd still want a few weapons around for historical reminders of worse times, and for recreational fun. And they'd be even more fun, knowing their ultimate purpose would never again be needed, sort of like more complex golf clubs.
2) If resupply is necessary, through unpleasant means...the source of 9mm and 7.62x39 would more likely be the local drug and pitbull enthusiasts..who hoard such things for macho points...and coincident with that...have false confidence in them to protect...hide behind. They spray and pray, because they know no better, have a reason for concealing their firearms ownership therefore never practicing...and it is also childish bravado. At such times, the truly Muttly get "Wild Bill Hickock calm" and consciously place their shot...like Alvin York.
Lots of 9mm and .40, less so on useful rifle calibers, I fear, and a lot of nonstandardized goodies, some potentially useful and some not. And of course, they too would have what they'd obtained from unsuccessful enemies, or come across while scrounging/scavenging.
