The "sniper behind every bush" is a vast understatement. The average gun owner has 8.1 guns. The average gun owner has about 1000 rounds of ammo for EACH GUN. If TSHTF, I will be, and the other 60 million gun owners will be arming our relatives and neighbors that do not have guns. The US unorganized militia will suddenly exist in numbers nearing 250 million as pissed off hornets that just got a stick jabbed into their nest.

I've built a version of MetalStorm myself using CO2 based paintball guns
that can fire stacked series of paintballs at 2000 rounds per minute equivalent
so it is TRIVIAL to make normal-ammo based MetalStorm Guns
not to mention making FAST-DISCHARGE ultra-capacitor Coilgun
versions that shoot steel darts.
Various build documents have been on the Internet for almost
a decade now and the MetalStorm system is SOOOO simple that
China would IGNORE any patents on it and just build them by
the millions!

So. After reading the vast majority of this thread, i don't actually see where the OP explained how China is going to actually land hundreds of thousands of troops on North American shores. Never mind feed and supply them.
PS. And not to nitpick, but why CAPITALIZE some words randomly?

HEres a thought. you do know that to use such a thing they would have to build it on site actually. SMuggling in that amount of ammo OR trying to PROCURE IT ON SITE is a real real pain(as in next to not gonna happen) ALso COil guns have a low range. 30-06 has more range. MEtal storms are like claymores easy enough to avoid if you actually survey the battlefield.

SOrry but a little while off the grid dont really bother u s in the rural areas. We also recognize strangers round here and best believe someone from not around here will go missing and no one bats a eye. The Federal government has the means to run totally off the grid too. like i said before its a pipe dream youre worrying over.
Also there IS a deadmans protocol in the US just like the russians have. A attack on a missile silo can set off a full response automatically if they actually get into it. If i am not mistaken they also have self destructs and remote detonators if they are compromised. To prevent a rogue launch.
Also..rail guns take a large power source to run effectively. Dont see any chinese being able to make them. most are conscripts who are just smart enough to shoot a gun.
