What if, in a shtf scenario, you only had the time to grab 4 guns. Which would they be? 4 AR's for good self defense? Or maybe 4 shotguns?
Mine are...
1. Bushmaster shorty (of course)
2. Remington 870 (Slightly Modified)
3. Remington 700VS (w/all the goodies)
4. Beretta 92 (INOX, w/crimson trace sight)

(1) M1 Garand
(2) Steyr .30-06 ProHunter with good scope
(3) Springfield 1911 .45 ACP
(4) Springfield 1911 .45 ACP

1. Mossberg .12 ga.
2. Colt M4
3. Kimber UCII
4. Rem 700 7mm mag.

that is more than enough.

edited to say:
Forget the Kimber, I'm bringing my USPC .40.

(1) Colt M4

1. AR-15 for future good varmint hunting

2. 12 guage - 12 inch barrel, tactical lighting, extended mag, all the goodies

3. M1 Garand to remember the good ole days.

I'm set.

Colt Match Target M4gery for local discussions
Scattergun modified Remington 870 for conference calls

No, on second thought, I think I'll stick with the Kimber.

No, wait, I'm going with the LEGP Springfield 1911.

Bushy M4 carbine

I would use the different guns to have the most chance of finding more ammo if needed. I would be tempted to take a few trash bags or big pvc and bury the AK with 500 rounds somewhere in case I need it later or get disarmed somehow.

The real failure of these what if posts is that if you only had time to take a weapon quickly you would honestly take what is at the front of the safe or what was fired last or maybe whatever you had ammo and mags in place closer for. You would not likely have the four you selected here in the ready to go mode. A man with a single AR and 5 mags and 500 rounds of ammo and maybe a glock 19 and mags and ammo as his total collection would be out the door armed before many of us figured out what to pull from the safe.

Wrote it down before looking at posts...

I hate to call upon the velvet gloved iron fist, but as a matter of clarification, is this not a "clone topic"?

If not, then let's put all of these "One Gun", or "One Rifle and One Handgun" topics into a FAQ?

Which is why some of us need to simplify. I have one friend who took it to the extreme, selling every gun in his collection and using the money to buy an M1A for himself, an M1A scout for his wife, and an 1919 belt fed. All in 7.62 nato, plus a tn of ammo and accesories. That is ALL he owns.

If the ballon goes up he wont have any trouble deciding what to grab.

I'll do 3:

AR-15 (only have one, a Stoner SR15M4, 16");
S&W 945 pistol
Seecamp .32 in my shorts, in case I get caught short.

Save the rest of the weight for ammo.

Depends on where I was living, though. Here, in FL, it would be as above. If I were in the West, I'd probably take:

Winchester 70 Classic Sharpshooter, .300 WM,
Bushmaster Armpistol
the 945.

My oh my, I see so many folks who don't have any small game guns at all! Some of you better review your SHTF protocols before you starve! High powered rifles are nice but there won't be much left of your rabbits, squirrels, etc after you hit em with a 30-06! If you starve, protecting yourself will be kinda pointless! LOL.

Now on a serious note, I don't or can't see any need to grab an arm full of weapons and flee to the hills like some kind of refugee! But just for the purpose of this question, I would take:

1. Colt AR-15 16" and plenty of mags filled with Q3131A.

2. Remington 870 Wingmaster with 20" barrel and rifle sights (along with plenty of Federal Tactical buckshot and slugs). A spare 28" barrel in either full or modified choke and some #4 or #5 shot rounds would be nice as well.

3. Remington 700 synthetic in either .243, .270 or 30-06 depending on mood.

4. Ruger 10/22 with a variety of ammo including Stingers and some bulk packed Federal and some kind of subsonic rounds.

5. Glock 22 .40 S&W with several preban hi-cap mags loaded with the nice Winchester Silvertip 155 gr ammo which offers a nice combo of expansion (.71" expansion in clothed gellatin and 13" of penetration)and penetration.

I know, I know, that is 5 guns. But that's what I'd take. I don't answer "what if" questions, just the plain if's! LOL.

If it had to be right now got to go on foot I would take three:

A government model on the hip (Currently a LBSRP)

A bushmaster M4 with a surefire and aimpoint (Back up irons of course for when the batteries die)

A Bushmaster M4 with a trijicon ACOG (No batteries required)

If I absolutly had to bring a 4th I suppose I'd drag my AW out but damn that thing is heavy. I frankly wouldn't get very far with it.

How does Q3131A do on rabbits and squirrels?

What about other gear? How you carrying all your mags and extra ammo? How bout your food?

Most of my mags would be in a tactical vest right at hand with the rest of my essential gear in probably something like a 3 day assault pack or a becker patrol pack if I were going to be out a bit longer.
