Most are gun enthusiasts and not fat alcoholics.

The SKS military rifle was known as a peasants rifle. A highly reliable and resilient weapon. Approximately 5million have been imported into the US. With 2 clips you're equipped with 60 rounds. It's not difficult to convert it to full auto although the penalties for doing so are severe.

Another popular gun is the MAK 90 which is a semi-auto version of the AK 47. 1million have been imported to the US. The MAK 90 can be equipped with a 100 round drum.

And then there is the Mosin Nagant. A highly accurate 5 round Russian military rifle. It shoots a 7.62x54mm round whereas the MAK 90 and SKS shoot 7.62x39. It has an effective range of 400-500 yards with a max range of 2 miles. These rifles were used by Russian snipers in WWI + WWII, and by North Korean troops and the North Vietnamese. In the 90’s you could by them and their ammunition mail order. Just about every gun store you walk into will have a few of these on the rack. Russia produce 37 million units of which almost 4 million reside in the US.

So you see, the bumpkins may be better equipped than you think.
