I'm probably not the only one tired of waiting for the STHTF so we can finally learn if all this speculation will turn out!

If you have only one gun for SHTF, you are doing it wrong (you should have at least three - a personal defense handgun, a personal defense rifle and a .22 rimfire firearm).
But the first firearm for anybody should be a .22 rimfire. I have more .22 rimfire firearms than any other chambering. If you don't have a .22 rimfire and you are prepping, you are doing it wrong.
The rest is debatable and varies by context (your personal situation); for some people, the PDH and PDR may be a .45 ACP semi auto and an M1A, for others it might be a Five Seven and a PS90, for others it might be a 9mm semi auto and an AK or an AR. The only thing you can really do wrong is to not have a .22 rimfire in your 'arsenal' of tools - IMO, it really is that important and useful.
A basic .22 rimfire that is accurate and at least several thousand rounds of ammo (most of which should be specific hunting ammo - i.e., accurate HP ammo) is so easy to come by almost anywhere in the USA (and many other countries) and is so inexpensive that I really can't see an argument for any prepper to not have at least one - preferably one for each member of the family.
As to the original post, do I get the Goatee?

Add good marksmanship to good strategy/tactics and fieldcraft, and a person with a .22 rimfire will also probably have several centerfires 'acquired' from less skilled persons in short order. Problem solved.
