The UV-5R is the most capable handheld radio that most people can reasonably afford; sure they're cheaply made and will break easy but that's why you buy 5 of them which can be done for around 100 dollars.
All the good handheld radios that aren't chink-made are outrageously expensive if you can find someone willing to sell them to you without company/agency credentials.

The military is trained to pull 360 security at all times. LEOs are not and just encircle the house they are worried about. A few flanking warband members can fuck some shit up. Of course your cell service and power will be cut. Those radios will still work.

^ this. My brother is still in and I constantly hear stories of crybaby faggots that joined for bonus money thinking it was going to be an accommodating experience full of safe spaces with plenty of cell phone chargers.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this, I'm glad both of my grandfathers are no longer here to hear how fucking bad things have gotten.
I used to think my grandfather (rest in peace) didn't want to talk about WW2 because of what he'd seen but I suspect now it's because he realized he was fighting for global commie faggotry and was ashamed.
Honor is dead. Your buddies that will claim to have your back no matter what will roll on you in the blink of an eye as soon as they're looking at doing time, they will roll on you.

Uhhhhhh no.
You buy a WASR10 (cheap option) preferably a PTR-91 or the 7.62x39/7.62x59 AR equivalent.
Radios are a good idea, not sure about this shill pouch. But, pretty sure he's just trying to make it easier. While a little hammy, this man has made some decent content in the past.
WASRs used to be cheap and were a go-to option like 10-15 years ago but now they're around $650-$700 new when you can get a decent AR for around $400-$450 (even cheaper if you buy parts on sale) which will be a better more modular gun overall, plus Russian ammo drying up has driven up the price of 7.62x39 (it's around the same as .223/5.56 now but I wouldn't expect it to stay that way). Wouldn't recommend a PTR-91 either at the moment; they used to be a nice affordable entry into battle rifles but a decent AR-10 can be had for around $700-$800 where even a base model PTR is around $1,200 - $1,300 now. Also definitely wouldn't recommend a 7.62x39 AR as they almost all have feeding issues.
What I'm saying is that you need to step up from lower calibers at this point.
Standard 5.56 is fine for soft targets/non armored. If your enemies are anything more than a roving pack of ferals, you'll want something with more penetration and stopping power.

You're paying for the roller delayed blowback, which I would prefer on a battle rifle in all honesty.
I'm actually surprised you can get AR-10's for that cheap. I haven't been shopping in a long while, just ammo replenishment. I'd personally rather save up the extra cash for a PTR, but if you're at your limit and want to put something in your hands, it's infinitely better than having nothing.
I think he got massively based when the glowies raides his house because of a bullshit claim
Now he's one of us
