I'm still sticking to my AK. I have thousands of rounds, it never jams not even with dirt, water, mud, etc. I can still hit a target with multiple round bursts and with 30 round mags it is nice to have on my side. Most of those same reasons are why the AK is still the #1 rated assault rifle of all time.

With that said, I have quite a few guns with their own specialties and there are reasons why. Each does what they do best for their own niche. I guarntee though if looters come to the house I'm picking up the AK or the SBR AR-15 and will let them experience pain. If that don't work then it's the Winchester Defender alternately loaded with 1 oz. slugs and 00 buck. Of course I usually have the Glock within reach too or many others both long and short.

 

I have several guns is my safe that I consider to be my "favorites" for one reason or another. But if I had to choose just ONE for home defense, hunting or out-right "Red Dawn" survival mode, I think it would be hard to beat the good ol' Remington 870 pump-action 12 ga. scattergun. Ammo can be found (or stolen if need be)) from just about anywhere and with the right shell you can take down anything from a flying mourning dove (low brass #8 shot) to a moose or bear (3" mag rifled slug). Any of the above would be VERY difficult with a pistol or AR or AK style rifle (pop any of those against a pissed-off grizzly and you better save one shot for yourself!), and it's hard to argue the effectiveness of a shotgun blast on a dude when plated #4 buckshot is selected.

Bring along a rifled barrel with a good scope perched on top (carried in your pack) and some sabot slugs, and a man-sized target out to 200 yds and maybe a bit further is in for a real bad day.

It also wouldn't hurt to buddy-up with anyone packing a .50 Cal Barret!

 

I'll second that...


Any 12ga pump will do for me. Ammo is available anywhere in any kind of load you could want. It'll take down anything at close range plus you can scatter shoot if need be. The long range capabilities are still there with a slug barrel and scope.

 

HI EDDIE, If your looking for a decent inexpensive rifle, BUY a MOSIN NAGANT model 91 (long barrel) or a model 44 (short barrel) I have two model 44, the caliber is 7.62X54 it has the same power as a 30-06, and it only cost me $80 each, and they are accurate !!! FOR THE MONEY YOU CAN'T GET A MORE POWERFUL RIFLE !!!!

HI cdennyb, I like 9MM BROWNING HIGH POWER, it fits my hand like a glove, you can get 9MM ammo anywhere on earth, plus it's cheap, DESERT EAGLE 44 MAG, is to big for my hand, to big to hide, but it gives you 8 rounds of BUTT-KICKING 44 MAG !!! The BARRET 50 BMG, I have never fired one, I have McMILLAN & STATE ARMS 50 BMG, ALL 50 BMG (with-out rifle sights) are only good for long distance, you can't shoot at a man at close range with a scope, cause you will have a hard time finding him in the scope, plus all that movement will make you dizzy !!!

HI staarma, I'm not insulting the AK-47, The right tool, for the right job !!! I have a MADDI AK-47, I would use it, If faceing mutiple people, at less than 50 yards, 7.62X39 has little recoil, and the AK-47 is a light rifle, and doesn't jam, plus I have some 75 round drums !!! BUT I rather have an M1A, M1.

 

Hmmm or maybe this one!

I'll stick with my Barrett and the Desert Eagle, If us 'good ol boys' were to pair up, I'd have good company for the shotgun uses, and of course if I were to phuque-up and let the intruder get too close, well, I'm guessing the muzzle blast alone would daze them enuf for everyone out there to open up with their shotguns!

I usually work alone, seldom close quarters, so long rifle and big pistol are all i need to pack. If I need a shotgun, maybe I could "pick one off" er... I mean "pick one up" cheap.

Glad we're all on the same side! LoL

 

HI cdennyb, Don't forget to buy a couple of reloaders, for the 50 BMG, I have the LEE, for every other calibers, I have two DILLION 550, one for rifles, the other for handguns.

 

I thought .50 cals were illegal in The People's Republik of Klaifornia"?
