The world as we know it has ended due to a biological outbreak of some sort of bacteria, one that died out fast but killed 87% of the population.
Lots of arfcommers survived simply due to the fact we were holed up in our mom's basements eating Cheetos. Turns out Cheetos was the one thing that killed the bacteria. This outbreak didn't affect any animals. Other humans survived as well, if they were eating Cheetos. Many are half dead, because they were eating potato chips. Now they feed on human flesh. So we've established contact and are trying to form up in groups by zip code, then state, and then will form a new nation. You can only have four guns to protect you. Pistol, semi auto rifle, bolt or lever action ( one or the other ), and a shotgun. You will have 4000 rds of ammo total, no more, and the ordeal will last a year before we get a government set up and means of production restarted somewhat. What do you pick , what calibers, and how do you divided your ammo up between the firearms ? Last thing, you can also take one other item for survival that you think will be in short supply. |

Fuck your rules. I'm subverting them. <img src=http://www.ar15.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
Ditch the shotgun. Pistols with suppressors in .22LR (2000rds) and 9mm (500rds) . AR-pattern rifle in 5.56. (1000 rds) Bolt gun in 6.5X55 (500 rds). NV helmet rig as my "bonus item". |

Why waste space with a shotgun?
.22 suppressed 9mm suppressed 7.62x39 6.5x55 Those would take care of all my needs. |
|
AR-15 in 5.56 16" or 18" 2,000 rounds (main protection)
Ruger .357 magnum 4" stainless 400 rounds (wild animal protection/spur of the moment hunting) Remington 870 or clone 12 ga. with 28" bbl and chokes 1,000 rounds (primary hunting weapon) Bolt action .308 (pick one) stainless with synthetic stock and 3-9 scope 600 rounds (big game hunting and secondary protection/long range protection) |

Pistol- 2011 9mm with lets say 300 rounds
AR in light 16" 223 with 1k rounds Savage MK2 bolt gun in 22 with can, remaining rounds I would be happy without a shotgun. no wait, sawed off Mad Max style with 50 rounds, just for defense and cause I want one, and there would be no stamps in the end of days. I would take a 22 conversion kit for the 2011 and AR. I think food acquisition and having firearms will be what you need if SHTF. really, getting in a firefight is a good way to get shot, even if you're great. So I would rather avoid them completely. Get a really good thermal optic for the AR and you could watch at night and hunt pigs. Can feed a lot of people with pig meat for cheap. |

I just need two guns.
I'll take a Barrett 50 Cal. and 3,999 rounds of ammo. The other gun a Glock 19 and 1 round of 9mm for me when I run out of ammo for the 50 and realize that I'm stuck on the planet with a few thousand GD basement dwellers and not a single woman. |

Pistol- Beretta 92fs 9mm
Shotgun- Mossberg 500 in 12g for hunting some food Semi auto- Daniel Defense V7 in 5.56 Bolt action- .308 , would not be a big priority for me Realistically I would only use my pistol and AR. 4 guns is too much weight so I would go with 2 and divide my ammo as 20% 9mm and 80% 5.56 I based my list on guns I own My one other item would be a ferro rod for cooking and purifying my water. |

I think I saw this exact scenario in a movie once. Seems like the last man standing had a 6.5 Grendel. Or was it a 6.8? Can't remember for sure, maybe someone here knows which of those is better...
