Hi All
Just wondering something.
Why is it most of the time whenever people talk about SHTF or Survival firearms it usually falls around zombies, fighting off gov forces or mutant biker gangs?
So often we here people talk about armor piercing bullets or fully automatic rifles.
The AK vs AR thing has been done to death (tho I still like reading the threads )
How often do we hear about sniping long distances with a 30-06?
BUT
Very little talk of hunting for food.
Yes I know the AK and AR can be used for hunting and quite well too.
But only on larger game for the most part unless you use special loads or are highly trained in "barking" all you are going to get from a squirrel or partridge or even a crow is chunks if you hit it with a 7.62x39 or 5.56 round.
Anyone here even considering carrying a shotgun or 22 rifle for food gathering?
Just kind of wondering if anyone else thinks we concentrate too much on zombies. Seems to me we will be running across the need for food more then the need to shoot zombies.
Just a thought.
