I believe Titor said the civil war was in 2004. Or did he change the date?

And it's interesting to note that we're the ones who have to introduce the possiblity of resources being so sparse that we couldn't assemble enough rifles to equip our troops. C'mon. They can build friggin' time machines but can't figure out how to mass produce rifles? Even in WW2 the US could grab enough scrap and collect enough raw materials to make M1 Garands.

Having no access to the GUU-5P I make do with my AR (16" POF upper, Aimpoint Comp M2 sight, Surefire vertical foregrip, the improved USSOCOM M4 5 position stock), my FAL (18" Belgian Congo configuation) and a few 1911s (9mm is subpar IMO - I've dealt with many gunshot wounds and will tell you first-hand that there's a big difference between the 9mm and .45 - that's why I stick to the .45). I've trained primarily with the pistols and the carbine. So if the future is so strapped on resources that everyone is underequipped ... I guess looters would regret coming to my place.
