Vital equipment?

I find the AK47 is a bit heavy to take on the bike, so normally go with the Uzi.

Weight is an issue. I'm sure, for the wealthy MAMILs that someone can whip up a handgun that's mostly Ti - or even ceramic.

For people like me, well I'll have to MacGuyver something together using a CO2 cartridge and a micro-pump.

I think I saw that thread a while ago but it's scary that it's still going strong having been started in 2004!

By the way Jon if you go with the uzi then you want to tie a shoelace to the strap in the same way as you do with a bonk bag to avoid it swinging around when you don't want it to.

You could use a rifle for long range accuracy and strap it to the top tube ala Nicholas Crane and his rolled umbrella.

Brilliant. Love the euphemisms of the third guy "de-escalating the situation" with the skinhead. Er...that would be how? Two in the chest and one in the noggin? or just wave it about ?
