it hits the fan, what gun would you take?

[Revolver Ocelot]

lets just say the shtf , whether it be millitary, social upheaval, zombie apocalypse, or any other situation and you can only take 2 guns with you plus whatever else you may need, what would you bring?

 

[AirForceShooter]

1911 and a lot of spare magazines

AFS

 

[WardenWolf]

Ruger P90 and Mosin Nagant. Two of the most durable firearms in the world.

 

[jaholder1971]

Why am I limited to only 2 guns? Most of mine are kept in the same place.

 

[carry24-7]

probably a remington 870 mag 12 ga. and a keltec plr 16 it is chambered in 5.56/.223 30 rd. mag, and is a pistol. that way i can hide it fairly easily, but still have pretty good accuracy, and plenty of amo available (military also uses same amo)

 

[Gunfighter123]

I guess it would be my Colt AR15 , being that in a true SHTF , I'd be looking to carry A LOT of ammo and .223 ammo would be more available then ammo for my M1A or AKs.

The 2nd would be a handgun -- either my ParaOrdnance Limited P-14 .45acp {14 rds.} or my EAA Elite MAtch 9mm { 18rds.} ---- I just LOVE my .45s and 10MMs but again , there should be more 9mm ammo to liberate.

My Saiga S-12 and other SGs would have to sit out a true SHTF -- ammo being to bulky to carry a sheetload.

 

[Piscator]

A 1911 and my M1A, The M1A can git 'em 500 yds out and get game too.

I can honestly say I cant beleive this isnt locked yet.

 

[twoclones]

Just two,,, then I'd select a revolver and a long gun using the same ammo. Both would be .357 magnums... S&W model 327 TRR8 [8 shot revolver] and Winchester model 94 Trapper.

Unless I was in Alaska during a grizzly bear zombie apocalypse. In which case I'd want my 500 S&W revolver and T/C Pro Hunter w/Katahdin 500 S&W barrel. And a wheelbarrow for the ammo

Would also take GPS [loaded with topo maps], compass, windproof lighter, knife, fishing hooks w/line, nylon parka, and 30' of parachute cord.

 

[Rangegod]

Too old, broken and tired to lug a bunch of stuff around. My plan includes my TV , an Easy-boy, a six pack and an AK in my lap. I’ll survive longer then the first few coming through the door.

I can honestly say I cant beleive this isnt locked yet.

why would it get locked? am i violating some rules by this?

Why am I limited to only 2 guns? Most of mine are kept in the same place.

just considering the circumstance where you would have to be on foot and you can't stay at home, it would seem carrying a pistol and a long arm would be the way to go.

personally i'd carrying a glock 19 due to reliability and availability of ammo elsewhere should I run out, and an ar15 because parts and ammo are available in alot of places should i need them.

 

[Defense Minister]

Engintech, why the surprise? The OP just asked a simple question, and the replies seem to be legite. I could see maybe moving it to "strategies and tactics" since it isn't limited to handguns, but other than that...

I would take my Mini-14 because a guy needs a reliable rifle, and my M&P.40 for concealment.

 

[Clarence]

1911 & m1a

 

[W.E.G.]

take where?

Out on the highway 7 miles from my house where everybody else is out of gas.... and water... and options?

No thank you.
I'll die right here.

 

[4Freedom]

ARs and AKs.. Also, they would be great because its most likely if we had a zombie attack, that the BG's would be carrying the same weapons.. ONce you take out your BG, you can horde their guns and ammo and keep stocking up.. Trust me, buying more ammo at your local store isn't going to be feasible when this Ultra SHTF scenario arises.

 

[swiftak]

what piscator said

 

[MotorOilMcCall]

All of em, plus all the ammo I can fit into my truck (which is a lot)... This BS with, "Only 3 guns" or, "Only 2 guns" is bogus... What's the point?

 

[Average Joe]

9mm pistol, and M1A

 

[shootistpd27]

A glock 22 with as many mags and rounds as I could find. You cant beat the reliablity and durability of a glock. They can shoot the nastiest of rounds and keep on trucking. Ive put 5000 rounds through mine and only misfed once in the academy due to a faulty reload. The second would be a ruger 10-22 with a fully automatic kit installed along with as many 50 round mags as I could find. The rounds are cheap, light, and you can put 10,000 rounds on you easily. The 22 lr is not an armor piercing round but in the event of social upheaval, your not going to be fighting the government, you will be fighting your neighbor for your groceries. A 22 lr is very deadly when aimed properly. No recoil makes for better accuracy. Give me ten rounds of 22 lr and I will give you 10 7.62's. On full auto I guarantee that I will hit you ten out of ten with a 22 lr but the ak will be all over the place.

 

[ByAnyMeans]

Give me my AK and Glock 9mm with as many mags as I have.

 

[Redneck with a 40]

Mossberg 500 12 gauge, and since I have 10 magazines for it.....XD-40.

 

[XD9WBT]

Stupid post.

 

[benzy2]

I would take my AR15 and a CZ-75. I would also have an 870 in there but I wouldn't announce I had more than the limit of 2.

 

[1911Tuner]

A good sidearm...a .22 rifle...and a strong, top quality fixed-blade knife. In an Out-in the-Woods/Roughin' it survival situation, you'll have more need for a good knife and a .22 rifle than about any other hardware.

 

[gglass]

I used to think that I would take any number of my large caliber handguns or my Mossberg 500... That is until I saw one of these numbers:

The Saiga 12 is a magazine fed, semi-auto, 12-gauge shotgun, based on the bullet-proof AK-47 design. Just imagine having dozens of magazines filled with slugs and OO-buckshot just waiting for SHTF day. Another side benefit is that 12-gauge shells can be found EVERYWHERE... Even your local Wall Mart has it stacked to the ceiling.
