guns for the crew

Isn't that what they do in the Navy when they cross the international date line?

Not sure what is weird about two men wrestling in Jello and hugging it out at the end to make sure everyone is still friends.

Isn't that just another Saturday night for Marines?

I have not read through the thread, but my advice for the OP is to get them all Mosins. They're cheap and ammo's cheap.

I feel you should buy similar weapons. Then I would buy a few extra parts. That way you have interchangeability with magazines, parts, and ammo.
Mosins are nice, however, in a sustained SHTF or TEOTWAWKI situation, how common will 7.62x54R be? 5.56, 7.62x39, 12ga, and 9mm are very common. If you want cheap go with Century WASR AK clones, They sell for about $400 each. AR-15s are also dropping in price. I seen NIB for around $700.
While a mix of weapons give you a variety of uses, it means more types of ammo, magazines, and spare parts to stock up as well. As far as long range, I would skip it. Not many people can reliably hit a man sized target over 300 meters. If you were trying to survive and be defensive, look for something that can hit reliably at less than 100yards.
A hit with a 22lr will beat a miss with a 50BMG any day of the week.

This has been a really good thread in many ways. I have seen attitudes and loyalty's altered (with only a minimal amount of man love). It has caused me to look at what I have and evaluate who I would arm and with what. There have been examples on other threads that have influenced my thinking as well.
I have a few pump 12 g. and a butt load of trap rds. that even the un-initiated could cause serious "Havoc" with. Still have a "No Ticky no washy" attitude.

 

[Mosinowner]

I would go with ak's or sks's for cheap and will go bang if needed.

Why facepalm?

This thread has strayed away from the topic so much that any answer is just pointless
