This is just a generic hypothetical. Just for fun.
I apologize to anyone it may insult and I also apologize for this being a huge waste of time
What do you think the most likely SHTF scenario is?
Nuclear Holocaust? Massive EMP detonation? Resident Evil-like virus wipes out mankind? Invasion from a foreign country? Our economy slides so far south everyone goes crazy and we are forced to defend ourselves after we become a 3rd world nation? What? Get creative. Think like a fiction writer, people! ...or a Survivalist. You know the type...
And now the fun part-- when this happens, what firearms would you trust the most? That trusty AR-15 that you can't find replacement parts for? Your grandfather's revolver? Glocks? --Pick one rifle, one shotgun, and one handgun... and one more alternate handgun, rifle, or shotty just for fun. Thats 4 firearms, Gomer Pyle...
Anyone wanna take a bite?
Most likely Scenario: I'm going with the economy one just because I don't know-- that's why I posted it to begin with!
Mine is as follows:
Rifle: Springfield M1A .308
Shotgun: Remington 870 Marine Magnum 12ga.
Handgun: Kimber Gold Match 1911 .45
Alternate: Colt Python 4" .357 Magnum
The M1A .308 because its reliable I can also hunt for food with it, the 870 Marine because of durabily and reliability. I'd set it up for close quarters room clearing since the M1A would be too long, and the Gold Match 1911 because I know what I'm doing with it and its accurate as hell. The Python would be my alternate because I could also hunt with it as well as defend myself, plus its reliable. And handguns are easier to tote around when I've already got a big M1A and shotgun on me...
