OK. Starting a new thread.
Suppose you live in Zimbabwe, and your president doesn't like the outcome of the most recent elections. So he demands a recount, meanwhile putting in an order from China for a new ship full of small arms. His soldiers start showing up at villages where the count was known to be against him previously and start threatening people. In more serious cases they start shooting people and or taking them and torturing them.
What can the villagers do? Let's assume they don't have any money. What kinds of weapons could they make from the materials available to them in order to make a stand and defend themselves?
We can allow really really cheap tech, like old cell phones, but they probably can't afford anything as expensive as a modern assault rifle and ammunition to go with it.
