    Oh man! Nobody got the right answer!!

    I found out the right answer.





    Ya wanna know what it is?




    A SQUIRT GUN!!!

    It never runs out of ammo and if the SHTF, you still have all the fun of playing with a squirt gun.

    While interesting (and I am sure nice for those who may monitor this site for government agencies) I am at a loss as to how your post answers in any way the question posed by the thread.
     
  3. There's not a best gun in my opinion, but if SHTF and I can only have one weapon, I want it to be my 8 round pump 12g Mossberg

    Well...I thought about it since the early thread and I guess for me it has to be my Glock...it's the one I am sure to have on my hip. Any other gun wouldn't fit the "only gun" scenario...

    I would want my AR just because it is what I am most proficient with. Another pro to an AR is the availability of tracer rounds for those needing to shed some light on night time shooting.

    I have to agree with Pax.Glock is the way to go.Its the AK of the pistol world. Well,until the SCAR 17 came out. If i had to carry only one weapon between the two id hate it,,,but it would have to grab the lil Glock 19 .

    There is no single ideal SHTF gun.

    For what purpose ?

    Gathering food ?

    Defending your home ? Day or night ?

    Self defense when out and about ?

    Defending a larger community ?

    Just remember, Your situation may be totally different, than another persons situation, and what works for YOU may be totally WRONG in someone else's AoO, and situation.... Around here, generalizations, need to be made in "context" of the writers situation and AoO.... ...... YMMV......

    Without the "context" of each posters situation, there really can't be a comparison, between Posters.... Apples and Oranges.... without "context".....

    You might as well ask a golfer "What is the ideal golf club ?"

    Imagine you woke up with a burlap sack on your head, bound by your wrists, and no idea HTF you got in this situation. A voice over a speaker somewhere in the room says" you have five seconds to choose any gun you wish and you will be released with the weapon at your feet". What would you say? ... I wasn't talking about the posters situation.Im talking about an added fictional scenario with a split second decision just for the fun of it. Don't over think it! Do you have a default gun setting in your mind? A comfort zone or night-time blankie in the form of a rifle or pistol? What is it?

    Only an FNG nOOb has the stones to sass a moderator. Attitude and demeanor are very important attributes in the monkey tree.

    Your "fictional" scenario is pointless because it will never happen, so, why discuss it?

    Too many to carry which is why we are staying put.

    M4. How will my mind be changed when the handcuffs and blindfold drop off? Pretty pointless exercise. That said, my choices are different for different scenarios. There are only a few thousand scenarios we can postulate for the fun of it. Feel free to come up with realistic ideas.

    It's all about creds. Takes a while for internal thought processes to show up for others to "read". No worries, time is on our side.

    Our hens pretty much finished off all of our cherry tomatos and bellpeppers for the year .All the more reason to have chicken gumbo when the weather cools down.
