Honest question: isn't there something better I could buy? That's pretty old.

What kind of SHTF?

AR-15 in 5.56.
>oh shit the government's gone rogue, time to head innawoods and play sniper!
Some 7.62x51 semi auto.
>oh shit every industrial center on the planet just got wiped out, we /backtonature/ now
Black powder flintlock musket and about 300 pounds of lead and flint.
