What is your SHTF weapon?

But hey, come SHTF a seldom few will be able to use your weapon against you effectively.

LOL
if you only knew how easy it is to overcome those minor set backs!
BTW
in horizontal mode a LHS has an advantage w/a RH Rifle

Well, as long as we were still in our house, or with a vehicle to carry the extra ammo weight and bulk, I would keep the AR and 12 GA.

But if you had to go on the move, long distance and long term, the 10/22 (or other similar .22 semi-auto) would have to be the go to gun. As people have said, carry and shoot WAY more ammo than any military grade weapon. Getting shot is getting shot. The .22 can still get the job done.

Well said. I dont care what you shot at me with, ill be heading the other way.

Where will I be when SHTF?
Near or far from home?
Out-of-the-blue?
I carry a knife and a G27.
Forewarned, add an M4
My best weapon is my mind
Blend-in, camouflage, go stealthy, hunker down, be un-remarkable.

A compound bow is my hunting weapon of choice no need to announce my kill with a loud bang.

If the SHTF, I'm putting on a face shield. I don't want to know what it taste like.

For me it's my Armalite SPR Mod 1 and my Kimber CDP Pro. My paclite 22/45 in my Eberlestock gunslinger pack.
My lady you have our suppressed Rem 700 sps/AAC in 300 blackout, a Glock 19 she has an Eberlestock pack too I don't remember the name of it.

 

[irierider]

AK74.. all the way, unless I had to do the "never going back" then something in 556

Can the answer be dependant on who has invaded us (if that is the cause or result of the problem)? Because it would be nice to be able to resupply by killing the enemy. But I guess you could just pick up their weapons on the go too.

Due to a series of boating accidents, burglaries, fires, sinkholes, floods, or just plain losing them in the woods, I'm afraid I just won't have any firearms left in my possession, so I have no idea what SHTF firearm you're referring to

 

[Sgt Nambu]

If your going to do it, do it right,

Plug your own wound!!!!

A friend of mine who lives in New York State had an "unfortunate boating accident" shortly after Cuomo's SAFE Act was passed.

Your STHF weapon will generally be the gun you have on you at that particular moment in time.
