I’ve sometimes thought about it. Like if things kicked off, I imagine sending guns and ammo to free the UK or Poland, just as was done for America back in the day.
It would be hard to sit on the sidelines while patriots tried to free themselves.
The Liberator pistols may have been a failure in WWII, but the principle is sound. When revolting against an occupying force, you only need to be well-armed enough to acquire better weaponry.
So what if, as would hypothetically be the case in Aus, seemingly (Jesus, I'm gonna be on a watchlist tomorrow), the enemy is the existing government of the country itself, and the population is largely unarmed..?
Then what do we do/how would we get even basic arms in the first place..? Or are we just totally screwed, as seems very much to increasingly be the case...
We are a bunch of islands, a long way from most of the western world, after all...
Side note: There's a book series called "Tomorrow", starting with "Tomorrow When the War Began". I read it in school. I wasn't a huge fan, but it is massively famous in Aus. Deals with a hypothetical invasion and takeover of Aus by an Asian army resembling China or Indonesia (both are our biggest threats), and the efforts by local teenagers and young people to fight back... Apparently it's quite good, overall, so that comes as a recommendation, if anyone is interested, and can tolerate an entry from the YA genre, before it become utterly shit as it is today, lol...
You may not have many implements where force is achieved by accelerating a small mass very quickly, but you likely do have access to implements whereby a larger mass can be accelerated less quickly for a similar total effect.
They're the leading cause of unnatural death in most locales where they are available, operated by a crew of one, and tend to be designed for crew survival in the event of an inadvertent impact.

F=M*A.

Ah, yes, I think I understand...
Toot toot..?
