The creator continues a series on Civilian Resistance Operations (inspired by the Resistance Operating Concept), focusing on .308/7.62×51 AR-10–style rifles. He contrasts two “poverty-tier” Palmetto State setups: (1) a heavier, 5x-optic, bipod, drum/PMAG configuration used as a crude stand-in for suppressive “heavy” fire; and (2) a semi-precision DMR with a 6–24× scope for well-aimed shots to ~1,100 meters (ammo-dependent). He stresses tradeoffs vs 5.56: greater range/penetration but higher cost, weight, and logistics. Ammunition choice is critical (his rifle prefers 175gr SMK; dislikes 168gr and M80 ball). Core takeaways: prioritize beans/bandages before bullets, standardize calibers/mags, train for accuracy to shorten engagements, maintain gear, and consider team roles—maybe one or two .308 “heavy” rifles with ample mags—while hoping they’re never needed.
