I had one of these or something like it when a 13 year old in Reno, Nevada. This was back around 1972. I could hit a soda can at 50 feet with practice but that is about all.

There are many such arms that would be very useful for home defense. But I do not see even someone like Annie Oakley doing much against tanks, helicopters, mines, destroyers off shore, jets, heavy artillery, missiles, etc. which a government would have.
Yes, individual rifles would be useless against heavy armored Army equipment. But I can imagine more of a guerrilla conflict against a tyrannical government - more like the movie "Red Dawn".
