As I have explained in a prior post, if our society is plunged into a apocalyptic survival mode, there will be 3 groups of humans left after the initial mass die-off: the Elite rich (well guarded and fed); then there will be the peppers; and finally, there will be the marauders. Groups 2 and 3 do not really engage Group 1 because of risk. However, the marauders WILL attack Group 1 when the opportunity arises. I have chosen to become a marauder when the time comes. Marauders will hunt and prey upon the preppers and the resources they so helpfully collected for us before the End Times.



I have decided to prepare for my Marauding endeavors in order to be successful. First, I need peeps. Marauding is something that requires a team. Without a doubt, southern rednecks fit this bill perfectly! Fortunately, I happen to know a lot of rednecks. I even have a few in my family.



Second, I need lots of guns. We will need high-capacity blasters and a shit-ton of ammo. I am going with AK-47s and Glock 17s. While these are not my favorite pieces to shoot at the range, they are reliable and ammo is plentiful. I will arm my soldiers with these weapons, while I prefer to keep my Python and DD AR10 rifle.



Third, we will need women. I have my eye on a few already. The way I see it, when the apocalypse hits, 90% of the population will be dead in a couple of months due to lack of resources, lack of medical attention, suicide, and just plain incompetence. I figure by snagging some babes, I am saving their lives and giving them a purpose.



Fourth, I will need restraints and bullwhips. I am planning on taking some of the preppers I maraud as slaves. There will always be work to do in the apocalypse. Why risk serious injury and certain death when you can just make the slaves do the work?



Fifth, I will need a home base, for storing the stuff I take on marauding adventures, and a place for the babes to sleep and bathe, as well as for supplies. In fact, I plan on stashing several caches of guns and ammo in the general range of my operations. Eventually, I will conquer an entire territory and erect a huge monument to myself as Supreme Leader. But that discussion is for another time. I have some places staked out and a plan of operation.



Sixth, I need pharmaceuticals like antibiotics, anti-virals, steroids, and other drugs and medical devices. These will be held on hand at the base of operations (with the guns, ammo, and cooter). It would not hurt to have some sort of

It would not hurt to have some sort of speed too, to feed my band of marauders so they turn into fearless lunatics!!



There are other things we will need. I am just getting started right now. I will probably jack some horses for attack vehicles and some dogs for security.



You may have noticed that I have omitted food and water. That was intentional. I want my band of marauders to be hungry and motivated!! That is, hungry, thirsty, and hopped up on speed! Those 70 yr old prepper dorks don’t stand a chance!!

Ok creepy basement dweller.
 
Most peppers have been prepping for marauders longer than the marauders have been alive. The peppers also knew there would be a few dumb ones who actually announce their plans like this, but most won't.
 
I don't have a basement. I do have a submachine gun. If you would like to discuss it we can meet at a shooting competition here and have a chat.
I will put my skills against yours any day. You with an smg, and me with a SA revolvers. It will be no contest, brother.

I am in Austin. Tell me when you are coming down. I didn't know you were an amateur. I will show you how to hit targets with your hogleg at 200 yards.
 
Think you overestimate your abilities. I live in a dense neighborhood. You'd be surrounded elpronto and shot to hell
 
Well, you can maraude my neighborhood. I recently came of age and moved to a 55 and older community. We're all waiting to die, anyway.

That would be quite a feat with a Colt Python in .357 magnum with iron sights. I spent yesterday at a 200 yard range chronographing some handloads of 140 grain Hornady XTP with 18.7 grains of H-100 behind it. They clocked at 1400 fps through a 6" barreled Ruger GP100, with a long eye relief pistol scope on it, and sighted in at 50 yards.

The holdover for 100 yards was 4.84" and to hit something at 200 yards, I would have had to aim 36.16" high.
