    During the Zapatistas revolt in Mexico (which, incidentally, was successful), many Mayan women who would not shoot a gun instead carried dummy rifles, essentially just wood carved like an AK47.

    You can’t carry a gun, certainly, but you can be a combatant, you can make the enemy afraid, you can draw fire, you can shame the enemy for their cowardice and make them afraid of your bravery and willingness to die for a cause. I am a pacifist, but I will still die alongside my comrades if it comes to that. Maybe get some bulletproof shields.
