Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able, and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? ~Epicurus 33 A.D I am being held down by four greys as i type this ~ Florence 2015 A.D |

Quoting: trench town baboon 636693 Mine would be my Beef bayonet as a main weapon as it can penatrate almost any ype of material and leave an axe wound type hole, I would also have a Mutton Dagger attached to my leg under my trousers for a sneak attack. What? No shotgun? No hidden postol? AR-15 or AK-47 slung over your shoulder? Why ya bring a knife to a gun fight? :~) BTW, discussing bladed weapons, keep the tomohawk high on the list. It's a great close quarters defensive tool. Adversity is inevitable, misery is optional. Do or do not. There is no try.

But in a true shtf scenario you'll want 3 weapons. A hand gun, a scatter gun, and a ling range rifle. These three would be ideal for a number of reasons. The gat for lightweight personal protection that you can wear all the time. Doesn't matter what caliber. Novices debate caliber. A true marksman can accomplish any shooting task with a ,22. A shotgun for home protection and hunting birds and small game. Absolutely essential. Plus the little lady can be effective with it since in her panic she won't have to think to aim. A rifle for bigger game further out. I prefer a 7mm due to its flat trajectory at a distance. Less calculation if you have a target thats a quarter mile away. Just stock ammo cause it's not as popular as other rounds. I also like the .22 LR with a quality scope. Ammo is cheap. It is almost as quiet as an air rifle. The kids can even handle it. And it'll put a serious hurting on a small deer with an accurate shot. It's light weight and can be totally silenced with a 20oz plastic bottle. That way you dont disturb your neighbors when you're practicing. In addition you may want a crossbow. A machette (redneck sword). And a pair of night vision goggles. Good luck. |

High-powered air rifle is also a good option. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 694654 Try my home remedy for the weaponless blues. One garden type squirt bottle set to long spray. Top up wih Hydrochloric acid (pool shop) and fire at the enemy. One tiny drop in the eye and it's game over. If you're storing it make sure not to pump any through the trigger system beforehand. |

Got a Marlin .22 semi auto with a scope, and an 18 round tube magazine. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2021744 A single shot .410 shotgun and a Cold Steel 2 Handed Machete with a katana blade, professionally sharpened. I might also mention, I am not so much interested in a need for self defense, as I am being able to drop squirrel, and rabbit and such. |

The rest of you serfs might as well hide in your basements. Now just why in the HELL do I have to press "one" for English? Politicians should always have their head in a noose,it keeps them upright and on their toes. There may come a time when the only thing left to do is say "Fuck it!", draw your weapon,and see what happens. |
