SHTF fall back guns?

[BullpupBen]

I have to agree that blackpowder deserves a lot of consideration as a SHTF gun. This is for one main reason: You can make all the and bullets, brass, and perhaps even powder you want, but how do you intend to get primers when SHTF?

You could always go old school and make your own fulminate of mercury for the Tap-o-Cap primers. I really want to try this, but it is plenty toxic. It does not appear difficult if you have some way of controlling the fumes. You do need access to chemicals, no doubt.
