Folks,
I see many postings on SHTF firearms......Here is my thoughts
on a BUDGET(most folks are) singleshot guns (handirifles and Rossi)
with multiple barrels are vesatile. Mosins and SKS are bargains still savage ruger and mossberg all make under 350 dollar decent rifles..calibers get stuff you can reload for easy and shoot well... Handguns try different models and calibers, get something of decent quality that is comfortable and you shoot well. If you cannot shoot accurately then missing the bastard with a 500 mag does not hurt them as much as a center mass hit with a 22LR 32 or 380 9mm works for me and my wife. I am comfortable with larger calibers but she is not.
Look at some inexpensive reloading and casting equip IT can be done on the cheap.......look at some of my posts I have ONE bullet mold to feed my 308, 30-06, 7.62x39 7.62x54r 303 enfield for combat and or hunting....one 32 roundball mold for small game loads and practice or training.
Practice .....be a active shooter....Snipers are feared on the battlefield and in urban combat because of steath and that one shot one kill...AND they use a BOLT gun.....they do not spray 1k of rounds
Sure an ak or ar or Hk is nice but if you got no ammo or a way to get or make any....Think about the WHOLE package in a logistical sense.
