True. Unfortunately for me, I can no longer think of "Red Dawn"-type scenarios as escapist fantasy anymore. As you can imagine, I have trouble enjoying movies these days.
Anyway, if I were an insurgent dealing with a Chinese invasion, I would most likely be using whatever weaponry I could pick up along the way. But I wouldn't expect to be doing much shooting. As Iraq has shown us, there's really not much point in using the AK or RPG when you've got IEDs. They're hard to detect, hard to defend against, and best of all, they're impersonal - you don't have to be close to the target to use them. In other words, a guerrilla's best friend.
So, long story short, I'd be thinking about how to perfect my IED game instead of worrying about whether I was using an AK or an M4 to fight the Chinese. I would be figuring out how to AVOID having to get involved in shootouts with better-armed and numerically-superior Chinese troops, and small-arms simply don't allow that.
