(NOTE: My cross-posting was intentional. I think that fans from each of those genres might possess unique insights and offer suggestions that might end up being very useful for this topic) In the 2006 film "Altered" they hunted down alien Greys driving around in a truck and a van, and using crossbows, bear traps and basic firearms, and having an auto repair garage as their home base: link YouTube link YouTube link YouTube link
However, if YOU were going to have a team of Rednecks make a career of hunting Greys (imagine witch hunters but sillier), what other type of tools and vehicles do you think they would come up with? link Dan TMP link |

Jed Clampett's old truck seems appropriate. An AMC Pacer for a car (you know the one, e.g. the fishbowl on wheels – great with those big windows, for maintain situational awareness all around). Surely, those must be fairly inexpensive on the resale market. |

ATV, dirt bike molotov cocktail, bowie knife, axe/hachet, compound bow |

I have no idea where this photo really originates, but I thought it looked too cool to pass up:

That is a neat photo! Spearguns and crossbows, for silent attacks. |

Silent attacks? Greys got ears? |

Hounds, shovels, exploding propane tanks… |

Maybe a .70/150/300 Winchester (looks like an 1888 Winchester lever action shotgun, but rifled) or a .75 T Rex rifle for starters. Reach out and touch them and make sure they know they have been touched. |

A couple of jugs of moonshine. Who says guns and alcohol don't go together? Must be a yankee…….. Gotta have it on hand to help maintain morale. Sticks of dynamite too, most likely. |
leidang | 08 Apr 2017 7:05 a.m. PST |
Even rednecks have the internet today and access to all modern equipment. They would probably look a lot like military contractors. |

Gotta have a representative from Alcohol, Tobacco, AND Firearms. What a cool bureau to be in charge of the best stuff! |

AR-15s and AK-47s. Small backpack/knapsack. Large flashlights or night vision devices. Perhaps some IEDs, such as a cluster bomb of the small propane canisters used for portable camping stoves. Improvised canon (similar to ISIS made) that fires the larger propane canisters. Assorted hunting weapons including over & under shotgun. |

Shotguns – pump and/or double-barreled. Huntin' rifle (30-06). Possibly with scope. Handguns – revolvers for the traditional minded, automatics for them new-fangled types. Hunting knives and/or hatchets Composite bows and crossbows (Bow hunting is a "thing", you know). Big guy with a chainsaw, 'cause you know what other genre can be played with one… Beer – cans or long necks. Large pickup truck, probably jacked up. May or may not have a food/doors. Definitely has lights up on the rollbar. And that's just thinking of the people that live around me… |

Compound bow and arrows with lit sticks of dynamite tied to them. A skilled archer can fire one of these while doing an of the ramp barrel roll from a 1969 Dodge Charger. |

Yer great-great-grandpa's .45-90 buffalo rifle (if you live in the Plains states.) Gar-awn-teed to stop the biggest critters (and if not, they'll have a really bad headache & a big dent in their forehead.) Can also make those pesky UFO's ring like a Notre Dame Cathedral bell when hit… ;-) |
capncarp | 09 Apr 2017 6:20 a.m. PST |
"Beer – cans or long necks. " Both, 'cause you can make molotovs out of empty longnecks, and the cans can get ya forty cents a pound down at the recycling center. |

I forgot that Khurasan's rednecks could make for good survivors in a P.A. world, whether it from aliens or zombie to even Graboids. |

Honestly painting up Rebel Minis contractors in commercial hunting camo would probably be the most realistic, but have at it ;) |

I don;t know. I have about 100 Guns of all flavors and about 30K rounds spread across several calibers. So an eclectic mix. Most likely it would be AR's and hand guns. |

Mako11 An AMC Pacer for a car (..with those big windows, ..all around). It felt like YOU were the hood ornimant, the window was so large. First, convince the "Greys" the Pacer was a secret weapon they just had to have. Perfect target, we'd never miss one. BUT, IF all else failed, round up a "herd of Ins. Agents" and turn'm loose. I know, its cruel.. but "This is war boys!" |

It looks like people already have a blast playing the theme in 28mm:
link link link I wonder how many have run similar games with their 15mm figures.

The residents of Kelly, Ky. when I visited a few years back could be distinguished more by age than clothing. Jeans and plaid for the older gentry, the women-folk dressed not too differently. Clean white pick-up trucks towing empty trailers, (I never did figure that one out). They all have dogs. Lots of them and by and large for some unknown reason hate cats. The younger crowd straight from the meth lab could be seen driving muscle cars in various states of disrepair. Long hair and dirty plastic Asian made one-size-fits-all ball caps, in fashion since the 70s are still haute couture. Tattoos are a must. High tobacco use. Empty beer cans in the back of every vehicle and gun racks are a must. Whether it's a buck, a cat or a grey, they appeared ready to shoot it and trailer it. >This could be their roving dissection "lab"< I still borrow from "731" and use a rail car. There is always a spur of track around and in Kelly, the tracks went right past the Sutton farm house. |

Non-working washing machine on the porch. Plus a non-working refrigerator in the yard as well! |
Cacique Caribe | 27 Apr 2017 5:59 a.m. PST |
Lol. Maybe that's the washing machine they'll use to "brainwash" the aliens? And maybe the refrigerator doesn't cool, but might have been converted into some sort of torture/interrogation chamber? Or to keep the Aliens from sending out telepathic messages to their friends. Dan. :) |
War Monkey | 27 Apr 2017 2:54 p.m. PST |
Most likely the refrigerator was turned a meat smoke of sorts. |

True! If the aliens are man-sized slugs, all you need is a couple of buckets of salt. Dan PS. I guess "know your enemy" can help us focus only on what works.
