What are your SHTF firearms?

[eric001]

I guess it would depend on how light I'd have to travel. Given enough time to organize and get stuff squared away, the answer would be 'all of them' as posted before: .357 and .44 mag revolvers, .44 rifle, AK of COURSE, Mosin for the simple reliability of the thing, and can't possibly leave home without the ol' Mossberg 500. Lots of different ammo required, which equates to mass and bulk...but I would consider all of those "necessary if possible to take." And while I'm at it, might as well take the bow and arrows--not always a good thing to have a big BOOM giving your location away to everyone and every critter for miles around!

Now, if it came right down to it? Probably just the revolvers because of reliability and ease of acquiring ammo and the AK for the same reasons, but in spades. This load, at least, simplifies ammo and reduces weight/bulk of ammo for quicker and easier bugging out.

 

[revsaxon]

H&K USC/UMP (45 cal rifle, one of the most accurate guns I own, converted over to UMP configuration), and my glock 17 (9mm... damn thing is indestructible)

Between those I can handle a lot of situations, and if I need to go bigger well, ill hopefully have made it to my house where there is way heavier firepower waiting.

 

[BillyT]

Any gun near me.

If you had to chose a long gun and handgun and bug out fast what would you take?

I guess long...

 

[Yukon227]

AR, AK, Draco pistol, and 1911

If I had to leave on foot and figured to fight my way to safety. A few year ago it would have been my M-14 and a 1911. Now with the lost of strength from illness and just getting old, it would be my AR-15 and my Sig 228 or Glock 19.

Now if I was needing to possibly fight as well as survive on local game. It would be my AR-15 and a .22 target handgun with a red dot sight for a camp gun.

This would be a last possibility for me. My home is well armed and supplied. I have friends close to help out. It would be very hard for me to leave here.

 

[ghunter]

Glock 22, Glock 36 (hide out), and Remington 870 (trunk). Once home, a Colt Match Target will come in handy.

 

[Constructionist]

Ideally: M1A, 870, 1911. Realistically, I'll have the rifle and pistol, since the latter is always on my hip. If I'm lucky my wife will have the 870.

If I'm at work I'll have my trunk gear to fall back on: .38spl and 10/22. Hopefully they'll get me home safe and I can move up in caliber from there.

The fact that we are even having this conversation comforts me. The more people out there that are like-minded and prepared, the fewer people there are begging for help and/or looting/raiding.

 

[pinshooter45]

Every thing in my arsenal that I can fit in my vehicle or vehicles + all the ammo I can carry. No telling how many ZOMBIES will be out there!

 

[stormryder]

If staying @ home all them.
By truck all them.
On foot, 1911, M9, M4orgey or G3 clone, Ammo and supplies on LBV and CFP90 Ruck.

 

[Glockshooter149]

Mine would be at least a Rifle (AR), my 22, my 12 guage, and my 2 pistols (Glock and Diamondback db9) on my hip and in the pocket. Have a second BOB with ammo for these guns so if I had to leave, it would be a quick grab the guns and bag and go. At home, my SHTF would be all of them and have ammo for all of them.

 

[WETSU]

AK, G19 and a .22 pistol in my pack. Thats it.

 

[spencer rifle]

M70AB2
Ruger P89 or P95
If space allows, AR7
A number of loaded mags are ready for these.

 

[kirkorner]

I would carry my XD9 tactical for sure.
I would also probably carry my AR, but I might take some of the tactical crap off of it for weight issues.
Maybe my Mossberg Persuader 12 gauge, with pistol grip of course.

 

[jwfuhrman]

16.25in FAL topped with a 1-4 Trijicon, M&P 9mm

Or my 12.5 AR with EoTech and AAC can and M&P 9mm.

 

[Sailor]

AK, G19, Buckmark, and a wheelbarrow full of .22 rifles.

 

[schapm]

If I have to grab a pistol and long gun to deal with...whatever, it's going to be my G19 and my Mossberg 500. For a specific incident those plans could change.

 

[jmiller676]

I don't bug out...I barricade.

 

[melensdad]

If you had to chose a long gun and handgun and bug out fast what would you take?

Why would I bug out?

Short of a fire in my home, a nuclear event, or a tornado knocking my home down there is probably not much that could get me to leave my home. But even with a fire or a tornado, I have a secondary residence on my property with its own well, gas, electric, etc. so I'm probably not leaving my property.

 

[yotewacker]

I'd bring one of every common caliber. I can trade ammo for food. The no matter what ammo they have, I can use it.

Check that..I'm heading to his house.
