Scenario: you're in a rural environment and completely self sufficient, however, you're going to be under siege by a gang of roving bandits (50-100 men) who are equipped with small arms (rifles, pistols) as well as improvised explosives.

Your goal: use your /diy/ skills to defend your land and counter the bandit menace. What would you build?

Underground house, several exits, tunnels, stone doors, booby traps, firing holes, surpressed firearms.

House site should first be scoured of dirt to bedrock. Construct stone block house on top of this. Site should have a lower elevation nearby. Cut trenches in bedrock to direct water there, as well as drain holes in the lowest level.

From here construct tunnels same as house, leading all over property. One tunnel should lead to a rocky outcrop by a pond.

Construct drinking water cisterns, just a wall, floor and sides lined with bentonite clay.

Construct storage rooms, workshops, armories, prison/dungeon, interrogation rooms, hydroponics facilities, battery rooms, etc.

Walls should be 4 feet thick, 7 feet tall (unless you're freakishly tall, or ok with shorter ceilings). Stone with lego-like things so they stack easy. No mortar, chip each to fit, then spray interior and exterior with shotcrete to stabilize.

Room size should be narrow or supported by columns.

Not sure how to do roof of stone, or ventilation. Would probably just cut into arch shape and crane into place, then cut a slope into top.

Walls and roof need to hold hundreds of thousands of pounds of soil. Keep rooms small, buttress everything!

Nearby on the other side of a hill construct a hidden underground pumped hydro storage station, and your official house. Include a few covered trenches (half tunnels) for quick escape to various areas, not all towards fortress to avoid tipping off enemy.

Once its all built, cover it with lots of tar, plastic covering, and bentonite clay.

Then cover it with dirt. As you do this put gravel and drainage pipes and fabric down for the water drainage/control areas.

Plant trees that grow fast and have shallow root systems. Bonus if they keep people out - thorny bushes, poison ivy, poison oak. Or fence it off and make it goat, pig, and chicken pasture. Plant a few fruit or olive trees. Don't build structures.

>> No.1494400

>>1494378

Plan is to flee when raiders come, then poison food, water cistern by official house, livestock. Snipe those who try to flee or are leaders, experienced woodsmen, or too smart. Kidnap drunk ones for interrogation, slaves, surgical practise, or baby makers if female.

Always stay sharp, and leave lots of ways to slow down raiders and spot them when they first arrive.

Beware of doggos, but try to capture rather than kill them. They are useful, though they are very good at finding your hidey holes.

Compost your poop and dead raiders, it's good for the soil. Grind bones into bonemeal for plants, but dump teeth with plastic or non-gold metal fillings.

Make sure your tunnel and trench systems are separate. Have multiple trench systems. Covered trench is just that, a trench with reinforced walls, a cover 1 foot above the top of the walls supported by posts, and soil on top of that. Good for firing on enemies and hidden patroling.

A stone door is a large vertical stone block with a protrusion in its top and bottom. This protrusion fits into holes in the floor and ceiling, and serves as the hinge. You can put the hinge towards a side but it is hard to counterweight correctly.

Very easy to lock these doors behind you with steel wedges, or log braces that fit into holes in the floor and door. Take days to get one open.

If a raider finds an entrance, kill him before he can alert others, or get them all in there, go above and around them, seal the entrances to that room, and block the ventilation. It will take a few hours for them to die, you can speed it up by building a small fire over/in the sole unclosed ventilation shaft, then pushing the coals back into it and blocking it with soil. Should be dead or unconsious in about 30 minutes, but the longer the better.

You can leave holes to dump bleach, and then ammonia. Mustard gas is heavier than air, very useful here.

>> No.1494402

>>1494400
Interrogate raiders before killing them if possible, some may have useful skills. If you need one alive and you can't trust him, cripple him using a Calicrate goat bander to remove fingers, toes, limbs, and tongue as needed. An engineer doesn't need 2 legs.

Best option would be moving all your important shit into your hideously expensive bunker. Then you rig up a vaguely convincing fake house with explosives and hope enough enter the decoy so you can blow them to hell and hope the survivors are scared off. If they fail to take the bait or you are unable to detonate it with most of the 50-100 in your decoy shitshack, the survivors will be pretty pissed and probably torture you to death after busting your bunker.

Have a number of trenches pre dug to retreat to and make a stand

Typically an attacking force will lose 3 to every 1 on the defensive. But I would expect any such force such as a 50-100 men to try and take a small holding by force. I'd worry about a couple of guys making themselves useful and helping out for a few days then getting my throat slit in the night.

There's a big problem here. In the modern age in civilization, barriers to prevent people from getting inside are time-based. The stronger they are the more time it takes for the perpetrator to get in. The extra break in time allows law enforcement to get to the location and deal with the perpetrator. It also allows the home owner to have time to escape, hide in a panic room, or weapon up and protect themselves. In your situation, you won't have someone coming to rescue you and you won't be able to hide in a panic room. Thus, your only options are to escape or fight back directly.

The main problem is that with modern technology and equipment, there's not much you can do to keep these people out if they really want inside. All they'd need to do is get a bulldozer or wrecking ball and smash into your place. That's because they have all the time in the world to crack your nut, since no law enforcement is on its way. They don't need to siege you by climbing over way, they don't need to starve you out. Since they have explosives they can just excavate you in a fairly short amount of time.

Your best bet is to have a "good" defence to give you some time, a distraction that holds there attention as long as possible to make them think you are still inside (prerecorded message and insults you can play on loud speakers that doesn't loop for a long time), and multiple hidden escape routes to get the fuck out of there.

If you wish, you can Home Alone the place up so that it maims and kills people once they are inside and you are long gone. Poison gas would probably be the best bet for that.

The answer is obvious.

1) A deeply buried bunker, that fulfills the following characteristics
- Cannot be found, unless you have specialty equipment
- Cannot be excavated, except with a bulldozer and hundreds of hours
- Enough food/water/air to live for several months
2) A minefield, that can be activated whenever you flip a switch

I would find myself a hill, build my house on top of it, and put up a pretty decent wall (medieval style, with crenelations to hide behind and machiculations to shoot down through). I would live with three of my best friends, and have a bigass stockpile of guns and ammo.
I would also have a chemistry lab and a stockpile of gas masks and filters. If these assholes attack me, I'll throw down some mustard gas on them while also shooting at them. Watch schedule is set up so that there are always two men on the wall. The wall also houses a bunch of huge searchlights, enough to well illuminate the hill and some of the surrounding ground. The glare from these lights also offers some cover to the men on the wall during the night. The house is equipped with a well and there are solar panels on everything, angled in such a way that they collect rainwater and direct it into basins.

The key to this defence is to keep the enemy away from the walls. This is why they desperately need to be machiculated, and why chemical warfare is necessary. If someone approaches I need to be able to shoot them, and if they come with some sort of improvised shield, the gas is needed to make them drop it. If they reach the wall they can attach an explosive to it and blow a hole, but if the wall is made from concrete slabs chances are most of the energy will be directed away and the wall will be safe. If their improvised bombs are shaped charges, it becomes even more imperative to not let them close enough to plant them.

Step one: Get one of those drills the bongs used to drill a tunnel to France.
Step two: Drill a hole straight into a mountain.
Step three: Litter the entrance with Czech hedgehogs so they can't move armour inside.
Step four: After about fifty metres of normal tunnel, build a wall that divides the tunnel in two, and put gun turrets on it.
Step five: Cross the tunnel off with another wall, and put a steel bunker door on here at an angle, too close to the wall to fit a battering ram in. Behind the bunker door is a short corridor with two pipes to pump carbon monoxide in, and another bunker door.

DESU in such a scenario (small arms, limited artillery/tank danger), you should probably look at the forts of the 1700s. They are designed to channel attackers into multiple fields of defensive fire. I remember seeing this on a documentary and being a bit confused as to how it benefits defenders. Perhaps an engineerfag can help you with this concept. Pic related, but not the best example.

>> No.1496097

>>1496091
The idea behind the star fort is that you can't approach it without being fired upon from at least two directions. For instance if you advance on one of the protruding bits, you can be fired on from either that bit and one of the adjacent ones, or from both of the adjacent ones. If you advance on one of the sunken in walls, you're fired on form both protruding bits. In either scenario you can't take cover from the fire behind something like a pavise or a wagon, because you'd be getting fired on from behind instead.

They're even moderately effective against tanks, because when the tank advances it can be shot on its generally weak sides by antitank rifles from the protrusions. The reason they stopped being used is because they're super vulnerable to indirect artillery. Being invulnerable to a frontal assault is useless when the enemy can shell you from so far away you can't even tell the direction.
It wouldn't work very well in this situation though, you need a lot of men to man it properly. Your enemy could just have fifty men advance on you from two directions with cars with steel strapped on, ISIS style. You could only pin one side down at a time, so the other side is completely open to attack.

So assuming that I have a lot of time and that they're coming from one direction, I'm building 3 trench lines in a crescent shape facing toward them. The first line they encounter is twice as wide, and twice as deep, filled with spikes. Once they lay boards or whatever they do to get past that the second line is a normal trench which they will descend into to take cover from my fortified machine gun emplacement.

The second trench however, will be wired with barrels full of napalm and explosives about 6 inches under the bottom of the trench, to be detonated once enough have taken cover from my suppressing fire.

After this the trench will be totally blown out and only the third and widest trench will remain, this one will be wired with chlorine gas, to be released en masse once one of the trip wires attached it triggered.

you should find and read the book "Militant Tricks." The author gives a plan for a trap building designed to inflict repeated casualties on intruders and win via attrition of field-deployable forces. It was designed in the context of Middle Eastern anti-insurgency, but it would be directly applicable to bugouts, hideaways, and shelters against raiders of any kind. In the daytime, it is a biulding for normal use, like an Office, but it is hardened so that during the night, or attack season, it becomes a deathtrap.

The absolutely most important thing to so is completely clear as much land as possible around your defensible position. If you have a few hundred metres of clearing with no cover or concealment around your position, then you can see your enemy coming, and have a very large kill zone which is impossible to advance through without taking huge amounts of fire. This area should also be able to be illuminated at night, and have discreet markers indicating range at intervals throughout it.

To take advantage of this, you need discipline. Sentries and lookouts must always be posted, and have a way to alert others in the event of an attack, or else your efforts will be wasted. As for defenses, I would consider sectioning off areas with fencing and locked gates. Walls are probably prohibitively expensive. Fortified buildings and trenches are probably the most efficient way of building defenses and they are easy to fall back from.

Just bloody go and watch The Siege of Jadotville.

Something along these lines, befriend your local gun club goers, barracked in with more provisions then them, make sure the first floor openings are near enough impenetrable to 50-100 people carrying small arms which isn’t difficult to do unless they bring specialist equipment which is unlikely in this scenario and wait them out while sending out flares, sounding a siren periodically and attacking through upper floor slit-holes till they decide to move onto an easier target or starve out. If they decide to wait out and work in rotation then you’re hoping your external friends can mediate or pick some more off or have with you enough weaponary and improvised chemical/explosive devices to hurt their numbers to such an extent that even rotation is going to help them supply themselves more than your food stocks.

Not entirely true, you're forgetting about enemy morale and desire to continue a siege when there are many easier targets to go for. If you were to set up enough traps or a way to pick them off with while remaining untouched the attackers are going to start worrying if this target is worth throwing more lives or resources at it. I do agree that they would eventually win a siege, but could potentially cripple themselves after throw so much at it.

It’s a question of who has the most resources per person. In this scenario of 50-100 marauding people, they’re carrying small arms, food and other resources trying to steal your shit. If you can prevent entry at the lower levels (a smaller house with less windows would actually be an advantage to a larger house) you could take the steel frames (maybe wooden boards in some countries) they use on the windows and door frames of empty homes and put them on the inside instead. Unless the marauding group are carrying welding equipment they’re not gaining entry anytime soon and all you would need to do it loosen a brick above the entry points like slitholes and rain down from above when they tried to penetrate. You can also reinforce the steal frames. They’re not going to wait you out if you have enough provisions as it’s unless they’re rotating between looting elsewhere so as you said you just have to make enough damage to their numbers via loses or medical supplies where rotation becomes an issue.

Also you could have barbed wire stored in the attic and bring it out to flood the first floor from ceiling to floor.

buy servos, some armor plate steel, infrared camera.
Build armored gun turret with fuckton of ammo. Put it on a large pole. Use OpenCV for automatic target detection.

If you have access to chemicals and a basic chemistry knowledge, you can do some wwi warfare (with a gas mask ofc). 100 men can't stand against mustard gas. And if some of them manages to survive, some booby traps, a lot of IEDs, trenches, electric fences and a automatic gun will do the job.

Yeah, I can imagine:
>Anon sprays bandits with mustard gas.
>Bandit boss: "The fuck is this stinky shit!? Let's raid that faggot now!"
>Anon is killed and looted.
>Next day, bandit's face melts.

Or maybe:
>Anon plays with his poisons.
>Thinks gas mask will protect him.
>It doesn't, anon's body melts.
>Anon's fortress is looted.
