Great. Also you can burn it to make black smoke.Hi-Point. When out of ammo, use as hammer. Disposable.
If you had to chose a long gun and handgun and bug out fast what would you take?All of them.
Seriously. If SHTF, then its not like some will rot away in the safe.
Ahhh... Bug-out guns. Sure, OK. My XD40SC is already on my hip, and one of my .22 rifles (and a few thousand rounds) is packed and ready.If you had to chose a long gun and handgun and bug out fast what would you take?
defence and hunting.SHTF?
What is SHTF for you, what's happening?
I cant answer, you have so many SHTF scenarios possible.
Depends if I have to move out or stay at home (more likely in most SHTF scenarios), if im on foot or in a vehicle, how far im I going etc ...
That will change the numbers the gun and ammo I can take with me.
For the same weight I can have so much more .22 than I can have 12 gauge, so that will dictate what I can bring me with.Once again only if I have to move away from my house.If not they all my weapons are my SHTF guns.
Are talking about guns for hunting, for defense, both?
That depends if im in the city or in the countryside.
defence and hunting.
You also need to be highly mobile. Ok here is what happenedWell like I said it depends on so many other things.
That will probably be every guns I can find around where I am when the SHTF kicks in.
Let's hope im not far away from the arsenal when that's happen.
If im out when it happens I may get stuck with just a handgun on me like many people until I can get to my car or home to get more guns.
Mine are my nagant revolver and my mosin nagant.
You also need to be highly mobile. Ok here is what happened
Terrorist set of a nuclear weapon near you but it is far enough away so you will not be killed by the blast/ radiation at the immediate moment. Break down of law and order martial law ect ect. Just think of anything similar to this break down of social order.
I love the trigger pull on the nagant it is very light.Although the Russians repelled the Nazi's with those old war horses, I think the trigger pull and cartridge limitations of the Nagant revolver may put you at a disadvantage in many situations. IMO the Mosin rifle has some merits (low cost, powerful, cheap ammo, rugged), but the Nagant revolver has not survived the test of time as well.
To answer your question, I would depend on what has proven to be trust worthy and effective through training and competition: a Glock and an AR15 carbine.
