(Edited to add this:
You will note that my list contains Glacial Acetic Acid at 90%+ concentration - if the Chemist had sold me some, I'd be dead by now. So.. it's a list I could never actually use because of my lack of knowledge on how dangerous some of this stuff is. PAY THE EXTRA for Vinegar. Don't be a total moron like me.

I got 1000 rounds of 9mm fmj. j/k

I would make weapons, if resource is scarce in a armagedon , the first thing other survivors will do is try to steal from you.

So for for this corona related stuff, I have liters of hand wash, that I use even on vegetables and fruits and eggs and all other packed packets etc.
Hand sanitizers alcohol based in every room, I used to follow this even before when in cold season, where one family member can spread it to everyone else. and lots of chemicals listed in goverment website for disinfectant.

Edit exactly my point in the above picture.
 
1. anyone know where we can buy guns - it's expensive as well (in BLR)
2. why not use soap instead - hand-wash is alcohol based whereas soap's cheaper and tears apart the outer layer of the virus (it's the cleaning mechanism of soap - stripping the oil film)
3. a lot of my stuff is storage of food - I figured instead of buying "ball" jars i might as well using Borosil glassware for labs or cleaning/disinfectants/solvents/refractory chemicals/fertilizer/or ingredients to make baking powder-Plaster of paris.
4. I don't think it's a good idea to kill people - there are too many poor people in India anyhow.. the idea is to gain an edge so that you can influence and do something more sensible besides hoarding.

listed guns on ofb.gov.in are a joke. also a rip off. just sayin.
this one for example... https://ofb.gov.in/product/products/product-details/modified-0-32-pistol is about 900usd. for that money you get a sig 320 xfive legion.

Yep gun prices in India are retarded and what is funny is you can't even import your own.

You have to buy shit sold by ordinance factory and only certain weird not so common bores are allowed.

A basic 9mm parabellum is banned. If that is not stupid, i don't know what is.
 
2. why not use soap instead - hand-wash is alcohol based whereas soap's cheaper and tears apart the outer layer of the virus (it's the cleaning mechanism of soap - stripping the oil film)
Yes soap is cheaper, take for eg banana, if i clean it with liquid soap handwash the color changes not so with alcohol.

Besides without gloves washing hands that many times including doing your dishes peels off the outer skin(maid on paid leave). So at times i prefer alchol based ones.
 
Is it going to help you much if someone comes at you with 5.56/7.62x39 or God forbid 7.62 NATO?

And on another note why FMJ and not hollow point? Not many people will have body armour.
reason is simple, I bought them couple of months ago for practice and was too busy to practice so they are just sitting there. I live in a very safe and civilized area. I dont usually worry about home defense and such. Also, in my opinion worrying about Armageddon is too much effort both financially and mentally. I would rather live like a Labrador pup.

What you crazies in this thread is education. get this book.
 
my list got shot down by the chemical store - I explained the canning preserving bit - he got cautious - told me - No. (go for a shorter simpler list with no back-story - they don't like complexity) He wouldn't even sell me the bottles after I opened my mouth about canning/preserving.

(attempt-1 required Aadhaar) Here's my updated list for attempt-3: <soon to come>
Post automatically merged:

Subsequently I took a fresh look at my list - this is why he did not sell me ANYTHING!

<-- I would say some very rude things about fat heifers but my skinny but should have done a better job of checking! She's basically LYING THAT she's using Glacial Acetic Acid which is sold at 99% concentration - it's very corrosive - fumes etc
