Hey Fake News! If y'all are covering so much on Ukraine, at least make the prop guns look real!

Derp. Yes it does. My bad. I've been busy.
Either way, though, the meat of the argument stands. This is almost certainly a story showing civilians training, not attempting to falsely depict a fake war. At least not with this screenshot.
I'm curious, have you ever trained with a firearm?
Edit: See u/DextertheCat's comment below in the thread.
Yes. I actually have a couple of NRA marksmanship medals, although not anything impressive.
In response, I think you train civilians in preparation for an imminent invasion with whatever you have on hand. If you don’t have weapons on hand, then you use plywood models to practice movements and tactics as best as you can until the weapons eventually show up. No point sitting on your ass being terrified when you could be training.
You’re training civilians to go up against a nuclear-armed country in a fight you know you ultimately can’t win. You aren’t going to be picky as to how you train civilians knowingly volunteering for a suicide mission.
