Can you imagine anything more difficult than having to defend yourself or your family while surrounded by potential Invaders in Desperate Times people will do desperate things so don't forget about having a means of self-defense handy in case of a shtf situation setting aside some ammunition and a.

Reliable weapon is a great way to ensure the safety of you and your family in the event of an emergency it's a given that one of each major civilian classification of firearms will be needed a handgun a rifle and a shotgun so our task here is to pick an ideal group of 10. without further Ado let's get started.

Scavenger 6. so for me the best all-around weapon to carry in a bug out situation would be the scavenger 6 by Ralston arms designed by one of the most creative survival inventor designer Tim Ralston it's a weapon that can shoot 21 different calibers in a survival situation you never know.

What kind of ammo will be available it's very likely or sooner or later expand whatever ammo you've stored and you can't always carry all the ammo with you but if your weapon will shoot whatever is around you're well ahead of the power curve and in a crisis that could be the difference between surviving and pushing.

Up daisies Kel-Tec sub-2000. in my opinion the Kel-Tec Sub-2000 is the perfect Urban shtf weapon especially if you own and carry a glock why do you say especially if you carry a glock because the Sub 2000 has the ability to use Glock mags you now have a rifle that.

Folds in half weighs around four pounds shares magazine and ammo with your carry pistol takes 33 round mags that are small and lightweight compared to an AR or AK and can be carried around in a small backpack for the uninitiated the Caltech Sub 2000 is a 29.5 inch pistol chambered carbine that is available in nine millimeter and.

40 s w the Sub 2000 is a blowback semi-automatic rifle with its operating Spring located in the stock the rifle naked weighs in at four pounds and can be folded in half at the breach to a length of 16 inches which fits most backpacks and messenger bags the rifle feeds from a grip located.

Magazine and is sold in several configurations that take magazines from different pistol manufacturers Mossberg 500. if you could only have one gun in Your shtf Arsenal what would it be a pistol a hunting rifle an automatic rifle a muzzleloader many would say that the most important.

Gun to have in your Arsenal is a shotgun either in 12 gauge or 20 gauge the most popular pump action shotgun of all time the Mossberg 500 earns an automatic entry in this list without question since its introduction in the 1960s over 10 million Mossberg 500s have been sold to civilians police departments and.

Militaries around the world the model 500 is a basic and durable pump shotgun that is offered at a very reasonable price the safety is ambidextrous and located on the top of the receiver while the slide lock release is located behind the trigger guard it is available in a very wide variety.

Of barrel lengths stock types finishes sizes and gauges multiple variants of the 500 have also been produced with the two most successful being the 590 and the 590 A1 the 590 utilizes a redesigned magazine tube for easier cleaning while the 590 A1 replaces the polymer trigger guards and safeties of the 500 590 with steel.

Ones the 590A1 also has a heavier receiver bayonet lug and a more corrosion resistant parkerized finish in place of a blued finish however Mariner's stainless steel versions are made for all three variants AK-47 the AK-47 is my genuine pick for the.

Most reliable shtf gun why an AK-47 or similar rifle over all the other newer and ostensibly better ones on the market today the AK-47 still delivers the best possible combination of reliability resistance to abuse ease of Maintenance user friendliness and availability out of any other modern rifles that we have.

Access to also there is no better rifle whatsoever for use in bitterly cold weather that is a common feature where I live not for nothing the classic 762 by 39 millimeter cartridge offers an ideal combination of affordability power reasonable range and Effectiveness against a variety of materials against a.

Soft target 556 is generally a better bet when it comes to Pure lethality and it is definitely softer shooting but I have grown to respect the performance of 762 against automobile Bodywork and glass as well as lighter building materials believe me when I tell you that this is an informed decision even if it is one.

That is slightly heretical among my peers who are all died in the wool M4 or M16 guys who consider the AK and its derivatives clunky inefficient and generally just the gun of the bad guys the AK-47 is easily the most durable versatile and reliable semi-automatic rifle on the market for this reason alone it's the rifle that every serious.

Prepper should own Glock G40 when we get into the do-it-all guns you are often best served by long guns when you think of Home Defense hunting and survival but what happens when we introduce concealed carry into the equation well some handguns tend to do it all and do it all well.

The Glock G40 offers a very modern pistol design chambered in the Stout and capable 10 millimeter cartridge you can't expect to get rifle results but it delivers adequate performance with much less recoil than many Magnum handguns there are other platforms available but for the reliability capacity and.

Modularity the Glock G40 is hard to beat for a hunting application it is essentially the longer barreled version of the commonly carried G20 that longer Barrel will give you a touch more velocity and accuracy as well as smooth out the recoil a bit if not available on the Shelf any shop worth their salt can ready a G40 to.

Accept a red dot sight a great benefit for hunting or self-defense although the G40 and even G20 are on the large side for concealed carry they are a great option for self-defense where practical the 10 millimeter is available in a wide variety of loads and these days ammunition is plentiful.

AR-15 Daniel Defense DD M4 V7 I've seen all the debates and yes all styles of guns have their pros and cons but when it comes to a specific shtf scenario the AR-15 is not only capable of saving your life but also dramatically increase your survival timeline depending on how prepped you are in every way.

My overall pick for a high-end AR-15 goes to the 16-inch DD M4 V7 which sports a free float handguard and a softer shooting mid-length gas system I've put a few hundred rounds through this rifle and it hasn't complained once Beyond reliably chewing through seller and Bella 55 grain m193 like a champ The ddm4 Spits brass at a near perfect four.

O'clock from the shooter I can hear casings landing on one another behind me after a few rounds it's just a remarkably well tuned rifle the ddm4 is an impressive example of the kinds of rifles that have made Daniel Defense a household name it feels like a high-end watch and runs points and performs as well as anything on the.
