I completely agree. I’m just saying that most will not go guerrilla as you laid out out of basic morality...at first. It will depend on how brutal the govt would get trying to suppress them. And until they do, they are at an extreme disadvantage against these thing and the troops not opposed to wiping them out.
Some don't have that restraint.
Old men with nothing to lose come to mind.

Of course you are right, very few people would have the stomach to engage in guerrilla warfare, it is not the glamorous business of blowing up trains in night time France with Sophia Loren beside you puffing on a Gaulloise. It involves blowing the brains out of unarmed civilians on buses or in front of their kids (I grew up in Northern Ireland in the 1970s and 80s so I know what I am talking about).
And you are right, the government would have to be tyrannical and beyond reform before you would go down that route.
My point is something we both agree on; although superficially that hardware looks unbeatable and initially it would be, in fact if one sets one’s mind to it it would end up resembling a dinosaur stuck in a tar pit.
