Is 400 rounds of .22 and 1500 rounds of pellets enough for survival?

send better trolls

You mean we need more or less rounds?

I would supplement with 500 rounds each of spit balls, and rubber band launched paper clips. Those bad boys REALLY smart upon impact!

If your like me 0 rounds will do. I kill and skin dear and bear with my bare hands.

I ment deer , my dear i killed and skinned years ago.

I still got it aye!!!! ahahahah killing myself right now.

No. Get more. Lots more. Also get a bigger caliber gun for larger critters (and people), just in case.

No

Depends on how long you plan on Surviving.

If you plan to kill 1900 people to survive then you wont survive.

You'll go through pellets quickly

Not even close

Depends on your nunchuck skillz

10,000 308 Win. rounds for my AR10 is a good start

Bb guns dont have rounds.

Why would you want pellets? I would also het something with more range than a .22.
It is though, highly underrated, a well placed .22 round can do a lot of damage. Just ask James Brady.

Neither does the pellet gun.

No, not even close. And a .22 is too small a caliber.

Maybe he's talking about the round nose pellets

hell no...u pussy

no. you pack no kind of punch

.22 is relatively inexpensive and is very light. 400 rounds isn't very much. I'm not sure what your plan is, but upping that to at least a thousand might be a good idea.

I don't know how useful the pellets are going to be. They're not very powerful and if you have a CO2 powered gun, the ammunition required (pellets+co2) to fire a given amount probably weighs as much or more as the .22 does. Those CO2 cartridges are heavy.

And lastly, if there is a sudden event where civilization collapses, other people are going to be the biggest threat to your survival. A .22 isn't ideal for defense. Try to grab a .223/5.56 rifle (some may suggest a 7.62x39 instead) if you think a defensive situation in wherever you're going should be within 300 yards, or get a .308/30.06 if you think the ranges someone could be shooting at you might exceed that distance.

Pellet guns are quiet and good for small birds and squirrels.
A 22 caliber pellet is quieter than .177 and is a heavier, slower and harder hitting round.

When i was a dirt poor teen, I used a cheap .177 pellet gun to get many a partridge. Always a neck or head shot and you'd often have to run at them to catch them as sometimes they'd still take off- but it can be done.
Squirrels and small bunnies too. A big jack rabbit wouldn't be stopped though. I would say that a modern 'adult' level pellet gun would be very very useful for hunting small game. Though you need to balance out with the use of a 'trapline' for small game. If I was gonna head to the hills I would take a quality pellet gun and several thousand pellets. Bonus points if you buy a mold for casting your own pellets.

.22 rimfire is a MUST for bush life. If i was walking in to the bush I would take at least 1000 rounds or so and that would last a long time if you were careful. If you had a way to cache ahead of time I would bring a spare .22 rifle and several thousand rounds. A cleaning kit and oil as well.

Hong Kong... my AR10. Cool story bro.

For food yes, but not for defense, no.
I have 1500 rounds of pellets for food, and 5000 of 22, 5000 of 9mm 5000 223, 5000 12 gauge.

.22 is the preferred round of assassins.

Don't knock it, because I can put your eye out with one @ several hundred yards.

If you want to survive an apocalypse learn to make and use a bow and/or atlatl. Ammo will run out very soon. It can get wet, stolen or old. Learn how to blacksmith and make blades and tools.

I hope you don't live in bear country...

One shot one kill, that's 400 squirrels and rabbits.
