Lets say you're in a working class neighborhood in an urban area. There's significant civil unrest for whatever reason and the local police department is on strike. Looting/vandalism is rampant. You have about 10 capable people with firearms training/previous military/le experience and about $1000 to outfit each of them with gear/weapons/ammo. How do you outfit them to be the most capable. You have about a city block to cover so vehicles aren't super necessary.
A plan to leave and $10K extra of worthless fedbux.
Cheap Ar15
Flashlight for mounting on rifle
Boolets
Mags
IFAK
Some kind of signifier like all of y'all wear a certain hat or armbands or some shit.
That about covers it, all right.
Best answer imo.
this. Unfortunately for $1000 you won't be able to get armor, but you can get some surplus gear to carry mags and the IFAK.
Palmetto State Armory AR 15 - $650
5 Thirty round magazines - $100
150 5.56 rounds - $200
>150 5.56 rounds - $200
$1000 dollars is too easy, you can get a decent ar and kit for that much.
PSA has rifle kits for $320 and lowers for $40 each. You can put together 10 complete rifles for $400 a pop. There's no weapon system of any kind available that's going to give you better bang per buck than that.
Anything cheaper is going to massively suck by comparison, anything significantly nicer will be far more expensive.
Surplus police IIIa kevlar vests typically sell for $50-100 nowadays. They offer no protection at all against rifle fire, but are lifesavers against pistol/shotgun/explosive shrapnel. It's a lot better than nothing.
Comms are useful. Baofeng UV-5R used to be the standard but I'm out of the loop about what the radio guys are playing around with now. Even cheap Walmart blister pack FRS radios are better than nothing.
>Bbbut the feds can track you on them.
Have the ability to track each other before worrying about feds. It's no use if you accidentally friendly fire each other before any glowie even takes notice of your existence.
That leaves fuckload of money for basic IFAKs, ammo, magazines, boots, sleeping bags, shit like that.
Dude, an AR-15 with budget sights and three mags on a (front plate only) plate carrier is 99% of what you need.
No comms?

>one city block
>10x$1000
$5000 of ammo, cheap
~$4000 worth of CNC machine
maybe use the leftovers for comms gear and other misc. supplies.
I move to take the city.
I understand that PrepHole is one big LARP but holy shit this is pathetic and delusional. You will die the first night of the happening.
8 men armed with cheap AR-15s.
One armed with a scoped Savage Axis II in .308.
One armed with a Mossberg 590 and a 9mm pistol.
Ammo.
A common uniform for quick identifying.
Cheap handheld radios.
Water.
We barricade the street and set up a roadblock.
Shotgun bro is watching for enemy recon drones and can also teach crowds what a "skip shot" is.
As you've already guessed, the scoped rifle is a poorfag DMR attempt.
Gear-wise the other anons have made great suggestions. Strategy-wise, you and your "militia" should be holding up in a location stocked with food, water, and medical supplies, and avoiding fighting at all costs. In the situation you're talking about, hospital is probably out of action, and armor/first aid can only prolong the inevitable. Hunker down, make your presence known but don't waste ammo and take risks by picking fights with looters and vandals who aren't actively looting and vandalizing your shit.
The ultimate SHTF prep is to live around white people.
$1000?

Plan: Keep going to work as long as is safe-ish. Board up windows and spray paint it if shit gets really hairy. Use tarp and tape to seal out moisture if window still gets broken. Use shower curtains and clear packing tape to replace broken vehicle windows.Keep a pressure bandage in vehicle and home. Carry box cutter, PSA Dagger, tournequet, and flashlight. Sustain off stored water if water goes out and use emergency food and grill during food shortages or periods without power. Wash with unscented baby wipes and use bucket toilet. Use phone with power bank unless towers go out and use CB otherwise.

Also forgot, basic radio comms and possibly surplus soft armor, even level II would be very useful if most of what you're going up against is handguns.
Literally PSA and surplus UCP for all your poorfag needs
