What would be the best rifle for an guerrilla war or insurgency against a country like Canada or the US.
I would say a battle rifle would be the best, a battle rifle is more versatile in its effective range and you wouldn't really need to carry alot of ammunition because you would try to avoid extend firefights anyway.

Why don't you bring a runaway bitch rifle?

Light, long range rifles preferably with a scope that will let you shoot and scoot. You want something in a common caliber so you can get ammo if things get bad.
Another thing to consider is a pistol in a common caliber, something to defend yourself from a close threat that's concealable.

I suppose a scoped durr rifle would be pretty effective and owning it wouldn't outright give you away to the people your fighting against.

308 scout rifle with a variable scope
an insurgency weapon ideally uses the same kind of ammunition as the enemy state's military
therefore the battle rifle for an insurgent group operating in a NATO country should probably shoot 5.56. semi-automatic is good, and lightweight is better, so we end up with an AR-15 or maybe a bolt action rifle that takes STANAG magazines. 7.62 NATO isn't really more effective than 5.56 NATO against humans. The guerilla group would do well to produce or buy a loading of 5.56 that will penetrate type III ceramic plates.
staying lightweight is important. from what I've read, soldiers in iraq had trouble catching hit and run attacks against fobs because they had to load themselves down with armor. it's true that infantry is often used to pin down the enemy until air support can wipe them out, but if the enemy can outrun your infantry then your air support or artillery won't be able to get a bead on them.
Suppressor is highly recommended. It makes it harder to locate where the shots are coming from and your guerillas retain more of their hearing so they can locate where enemy fire is coming from.

fuck I wish there was a game where I could do this type of shit

Well what would you suggest you stupid faggot, a battle rifle performs like a battle rifle, what difference would it make if it was an m1a ptr, or a scar?
>>30656325
I would disagree that .556 and 7.62 NEATO are similar performers on humans, but the longer effective range of 7.62 would give those using it a distinct advantage.

In Canada you would want 7.62, thick brush means that you want better penetration in much of the country, and on the prairies engagements would be long range. Plus a guerrilla in Canada would need to worry about hostile wildlife and living off the land, which you can't do with 5.56.
Plus 7.62 is still used by the military.

Practically any semi-automatic rifle in the US.

Sorry for pointing out that your thread is shit.
>>30659513
The ak and an m1a have a world of difference between them along with different doctrinal application.
Semiautomatic firearms are diverse in their function and application, don't be a fucking retard.

Whatever you say lady

I'll go ahead and assume that my reasons for picking the guns I did went right over your head.
>>30661007
Sure man, those guns are totally different. They don't perform the same ballisticly. They don't have the same magazine capacity, or the same average accuracy.
>>30661384
>Yes Anon, that did go over my head. Please allow me to further express my ignorance on all things firearm related.
Protip: when someone brings up the sameness of semi-automatic weapons and you bring up doctrine of use it's best not to move to mechanical sameness when someone takes issue with your doctrine of use argument, especially when 2/3 of your argument is focused on things that are not the rifle itself.
