I knew a guy in Bosnia, an indig.
When the balloon went up, he and two of his buddies went on the prowl, unarmed because they had all been disarmed. So he and his two buddies found an opposition soldier, and invited him "down an alley" for a sip of the vodka. Soldier never came out, but his kit did, including his weapons. Those 3 guys took that, and knocked off another opposition soldier... and another... and another, gaining arms as they went along and arming up more buddies.
Inside of a week, they had enough kit and armed folk to hit an ammo dump.
The rest is history.
The WWII "Liberator" pistol was just a single-shot .45, cheaply made, mostly stamped. It was air dropped by the hundreds, each one having 5 rounds inside the grip to reload it with. The objective was to get one, knock off a Nazi, and take his shit... then pass on the pistol and the 4 remaining rounds to the next guy, because now you were armed with good German engineering. Wash, rinse, repeat.
When a need presents itself, and enough will is found, the way is paved.
If you have a home-brew hand-cannon to begin with, it's paved much smoother.
