for end of the world scenario what 2 guns would you pick?

[migunner]

My longslide 1911 in .45 ACP and a .45 ACP Carbine. I have a LOT of ammo and reloading components in .45. One caliber for both seems ok.

And a couple 60 foot cargo containers of 7.62x51.

I'm in! I'll need it to feed mine as well!

only 1, then a .22 for me. Ammo is ubiquitous, cheap and easy to carry. Ruger 10/22 or a tube magazine bolt action with peep sights.

End of the world? I wouldn't have to pick only 2. So I would take a rifle shotgun and a handgun

A Pistol on the Nightstand
A Shotgun by The Door
A Rifle just for Reaching Out
Who could ask for anything More???

20" 8rd Rem 870 12ga. Good for small game to deer hunting as well as short range use against aggressors. Rugar M77R 30-06 3x-9x scope hunting to sniper use.

Now these are the only "guns" I won't leave home without.

But I do suppose I had a dream once of needing to arm myself out of a SHTF situation. To be honest, I consider my inexpensive Mossberg 500 or a Win 870 the first and only tool needed or wanted more often than not. After that: situational demands and planning.... .22LR is a hell of a survival weapon, but it's not scary like those black guns and concealable pistols could be clearly appropriate.
If this truly is the end of the world though, Its always about whatever is fun and inviting. Bring people together. Laugh about how worried you were about choosing the right socks and having perfect plans. The end of the world won't care about how many MRE's you saved or the back up systems that have their own back ups. No guns Ive ever seen are gonna stop that kind of future crushing finality.
