You are in Louisiana.
The power is out. You own a fully stocked clothing and jewelry store. The police are hours away. You survived the storm along with all of your inventory. The streets are flooded... You have enough food to last a week or so... You decide to defend your store against the looters. What gun/setup/rig do you choose?  Those who scream dupe can go to "you-know-where"... |

Considering my AR has been jamming on me lately, I'll have to use my WASR-10. Not the most accurate gun, but definitely minute-of-looter.
I probably wouldn't have to use it though. Just put up a sign outside that says, "Try to rob me, and I'll shoot your ass. There are unguarded stores down the street." |

Perfectly capable of taking care of the looters. Altho I'd rather have a nice rooftop view and Ma to keep me company. (A virtual cookie to the guy who gets that refrence )

Ak with plenty of drums, cheaper ammo, cheaper gun, and rust in such a humid enviroment wouldn't have much of an effect on a sloppy tolerance gun. Plus, the gangstas are going to be saying, "he be packin an ay kay fotee sebem!" as they swim away from the shop. You don't really want to shell out more money on your gun than what your stock is worth.

Don't you think a .50 is a little heavy for unarmored looters? The 1919 would be fine... Where's ma cookie? |

Same as my Zombie Gun...
 Quiet, high capacity with a light. ALthough I'd probably opt for sstnadard 30 round mags for looters which don't mass in numbers like zombie hordes.  Let's See Your Zombie Rifle... |

Just cover the entire floor of the store with bear traps... and run some jumper cables into the water attached to a few car batteries... then sit back and enjoy the show...
If anyone makes it past that enjoy your new pop-up range with whatever guns you have. I'd say use every gun you own and do a "Shop-o-Truth" or "Looters-o-Truth" in keeping with OldPainless' series of ballistic testing.

Well how about this instead , you're not in N. O. , you're in Baton Rouge . You own a shooting range / machine gun shop/ mil. surplus store and you're well known for building AK's , AR's and supressors and your shop is in a industrial area backed up against the ghetto . You don't forsee much flooding , but you know from experiance that the power will be out for at least a few days , that your neighbors are proven looters and that the police will be unable to respond to alarms/ call's due to debris/powerlines on the road and will be swamped with life saving calls anyway . What ya gunna do ? Keep it simple . MRE's are on the shelve , water is stocked . No generator , but a good inverter on the truck to power com. . Load everything worth stealing in the vault . Park the truck to block off the front door . Mag's for the 10.5 in M16A1 are loaded 1 to 2 tracers to fmj and gun has a good tac lite on it . A burst of real bright rock and roll , it is believed , would underline "get off the property, we're closed! " very well . Nothing further was found to be needed .

Everybody gets that refrence. I meant the other refrence. About putting a 50 on the roof to prevent looting. Jeez, you people need to read more. . . . But you get a half a virtual cookie.

FAL.
But the 10-22 is very nice for warning shots. A 22 lr into the water makes a very nice splash. If the splash doesn't scare them off, a sucking chest wound will. |
