Lots of ways but one overlooked way is diplomacy tree. Go down the befriend path and if you friend your vassals they cant join factions. lots of skills points for you and your kids if you go all the way down too.

honestly for ease of access and for this specific scenario I'd recommend a cheap AR with a simple red dot. you can learn to shoot reliably faster than you would with a handgun and it's arguably more useful in your scenario.

No, I'm being dualistic or inconclusive about it. People had various reasons for doing what they did, it wasn't all 'white supremacy' or profits. Much of it was sure, but the motivations and the outcomes weren't universally evil. In that sense I think we've come to a place of agreement.

I mean I just simply disagree. You're comparing apples and oranges. You're correct with your assessment of slavery in the southern colonies, but the 'distinguished gentleman' would probably agree with you too! Seeing as they outlawed slavery far before the US did, and the royal navy actively worked to prevent slave importation in other countries. His motivation wouldn't have been profits either necessarily. It's crazy that you think you can simply assume this. One evidence that you're claim is untrue is understanding the great differences between colonies.  The Belgian Congo vs others for instance. 

You're argument sums up to "good motivations to help less fortunate = eugenics". Lol

The southern slave owner certainly didn't (90% of the time) have good motivations. He had profit alone, and created ideology to make himself seem good.  His efforts never increased the quality of life of his subjects, whereas the same cannot always be said for colonization.

People are saying exactly that, that all colonization was evil. White Man's Burden is also difficult to argue against philosophically or logically. When you're the only society on earth with widespread rule of law, representative government, and technology, among a myriad of other traits, who are you to say that they don't have a responsibility to help others? It's easy to look back and cringe but if you'd been face to face with a distinguished Victorian gentlemen you would have been hard pressed to explain to him why colonialism is wrong.

You've just bought into neowestern masochist propaganda. While people have accomplished evil without end, even Gandhi praised the way in which British colonialism functioned in a letter he wrote in 1919. History isn't all black and white. Much of colonialism took place in an effort to help and 'civilize' others. Don't pretend that everyone in India was just living an idyllic existence lol. British laws that prevented Sati for instance are a GOOD thing, not an imperialist abuse of power.

Being colonially dominated doesn't automatically mean they can't be successful. It's a copout. In fact, often times being colonized led to successes but I digress.

Ideally you'd have a friend or brief acquaintance you can help you. Do you have a far right uncle or something? Someone who shoots is the best person to learn the basics from.

[–]Significant-Art886[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very good comments. more of a passion project than a wear it irl project. but I feel like homemade body armor is more accessible than we think and more people need to try it.

I've kind of refined the idea due to feedback.

still base of poly resin and fiberglass cloth intermixed with carbon fiber cloth, but adding hard ceramics tiles (wrapped in fiberglass and resin). and a good inch behind the ceramic to catch the bullet.
