"The key to survival in an apocalyptic world would be to keep out of sight and avoid other humans at all cost."
I have nothing more to teach you, grasshopper.
---------------
But let's talk guns for a moment. I like to keep things simple:
- .22 automatic pistol: Extremely light and compact weapon and ammo. Can do anything with the right skills. Fewest moving parts of any repeating weapon; complete bag of spare parts fits in a sock and costs $20.
- 12GA shotgun. Ammo available everywhere, and very versatile. Hard to screw up.
- .357MAG revolver, 6" barrel. Fits comfortably on one's hip, but can take deer out to 70 yards or so. Not too harsh on small game, especially with hard cast bullets or FMJ's. Can chamber .38SPECIAL ammo, which is everywhere, and, if you have basic reloading gear, can use bullets pulled from 9mm and .380 ammo, as well as 000 buckshot balls. Ammo is very lightweight for a center fire; about the same as .223.
- Rifle in 30-30, 7.62X39, .308, etc. This would be a go-to weapon for both big-game hunting and defensive use. It is best for it to be in a common cartridge.
Me, if I had to go it on foot, I'd probably just take the .22 and the .357. Where I live, you don't often get shots at game much outside handgun distance.
Are you prepared for the apocolypse?
