Not too hard of a decision.

I came here to say Vz.58.

AK and AK variants

ar15 because you live in the US

Somebody should redraw the bread as a fleshlight, then when he squeezes it cum should fly out.
>>
>>33567077
Depends on your strategy when SHTF.
>>
I would like to say AK, VZ, or AR15. Realistically though probably something in .308 or a fudd round because that's what's gonna be the most lootable
>>
>>33567077

Ruger 10/22
>>
>>33567077

You have many choices.

>AK in 7.62x39
They need little maintenance and the ammo is fairly common.

>AR15
Only if you live in the US. The ammo and spare parts will be very common.

>12GA break action shotgun
Little maintenance, highly reliable, great for hunting. Not only will shells be plentiful, but you can reload them with improvised equipment.

>30-06 or .308 scoped bolt action rifle
Super common fudd hunting cartridges, you'll be able to find them everywhere and they will be less sought after by others than .223 or 7.62x39.

>Takedown 10/22
Not for defense, but for feeding yourself.
>>
>>33567682
This. You can carry more ammo with a .22 gun, while it won't be able to take out a large animal, it will let you kill smaller ones which are likely going to be more common than larger ones. You can use it for self defense, but since your goal is self defense and not going to fucking war it also makes a great survival rifle.

But between the Nugget and SKS, which is better for SHTF? Discuss your views.
>>
>>33567077
12 ga. Shotgun

Any kind will do
>>
>>33568355
Mosin:
+less moving parts
+more powerful
-less capacity
-louder
-ammo a little less common
SKS:
Vice-versa

Nugget has more power and could punch through armour/animals that SKS wouldn't. It's a pretty decent sized spear with the bayonet. Also a better prop for your shelter however retarded it is. It is also cheaper.

SKS has lighter ammo, is semi-auto, is handier, has more functional strippers, also has a bayonayse. Semi-pistol grip is nice thing to have. Bigger aftermarket however shitty it is. Tech sights are nice. More expensive.

Myslef? I'd take the SKS, even though the Mosin is fun as fuck as well.

9mm handgun, because in almost all "SHTF" situations concealment will still be necessary/desirable.

12ga shotgun for a longarm. Maximum versatility, ammunition is the easiest to manufacture/reload, pretty good at everything except hunting large game in very open country.
>>
>>33567101
>>33567380
Wrong. Not common enough. Honestly there are a lot of good suggestions here, it all depends on what your plan is, and where you live. Shotguns, ARs, AKs, hunting rifles, .22s, and wonder nines can all be ideal choices in certain situations.
>>
>>33568609
But how will they impress people with their patrician taste if they don't post those
>>
>>33568609
>Not common enough
It's common enough when it's in my damn hands. And 762x39 is all over, especially in my stash where I have about 4000 rounds.
A 556 model might be a little better in the random ammo finding category though.

>>
>>33568652
My likely worst case scenarios are pretty much only going to turn it into a single shot, but still very deer capable gun.
Even if I shot all the 4000 rounds I had on hand, maybe I'd be a bit closer to wanting to replace a spring or two? Everything is is damn unlikely to ever break.
>>
>>33568652
And IRL, you won't go through ammo fast whatsoever.

>>33568476
>Less capacity
>He doesn't give his Nugget the Moses Extended magazine
>>
>>33567077
AR-15 if living in the US. It will do nicely in Europe as well since scavenging for ammo/spare parts is fucking bullshit.

AK if living in Europe.

Glock 17/19 regardless of where you live.
>>
>>33569105
>glock
I think glocks feel like shit to shoot, too sharp of recoil.
There's 9mm pistols out there that feel downright pleasant to shoot if you are going for a full size pistol.
>>
>>33569129
Well the OP didn't ask for the gun with smoothest recoil.

Even though scavenging for spare parts/ammo is bullshit, glocks chambered in 9mm are by far the most common handguns in the entire world today.
>>
>>33567077
Some kind of .38/357 magnum revolver.
Bonus point for custom building a 9mm/.380/.38 super/whatever the fuck autoloader rounds are the same diameter and moon clips for it to swap the rounds and have fairly excellent variety of useable ammo.

At least for the pistol.

As for the rifle, some form of AK or fudd hunting rifle in 7.62 RFN or 30-06.
Cheap to feed and easy to feed as well, and they're pretty hard to fuck up.
In a pinch they can (supposedly) be run off of black powder for a little while.

These should be easy to keep running and fed even after we have to start making ammo.
I would assume that the metro is about the level of shit we'd be looking at and not complete and utter annihilation.
>>
>>33569216
*cylinder.
A special cylinder.

Honestly a medusa type revolver is fucking genius and I don't understand why someone hasn't at least tried making a cheaper system that does about the same thing.
