If you could only have 3

Post by tangodown »

Ok so if you other half said you could only have 3 guns, or if a SHTF senario struck, or hell if the Zombie Apocalypse came along..... What 3 are in your locker or bug out bag?
I'll start,
Gun1: Walther P22 compensated/ suppressed
Gun2: My AR15 in 7.62x39
Gun3: Ithaca Model 37 12ga shotgun with bird and slug barrels

AR47

Ha. My other half would be insistent that all firearms would come along.

But, to play along, I'd want my 12 gauge, and probably my .22 rifle (I see more rabbits and squirrels than I do deer), and I'd have a pistol; the closest one.

Bushmaster AR15 ....10/22 Take Down.....Rock Island TCM .22/9mm. These should handle most things that would come up.

This presents quite a dilemma. I can think of lots of reasons to have four or even five, but IF I could only have three . . .

1. Remington 870 tactical 7+1, 12 gauge, with chokes
2. Savage Model 110 bolt gun in .270 WIN
3. Citadel .45 cal, 3.5" barrel

If I could find a way, I'd add to that list:

4. Ruger 10-22 carbine, suppressed
5. Pellet rifle (no sense wasting good ammo on squirrels and birds)

Glock 19
One of my AR15s
And then it's a toss up of my 10-22 or shotgun. Both are so versatile.

1.) AK-47 with magpul dress out
2.) Mossberg 930 with extended tube mag
3.) Ruger MKII bull barrel suppressed.

Assuming endless mags, and ammo supplies of course.

hmmm, this is actually pretty tuff. You are playing the odds when it comes to weight, pick-up ammo, availability of scavenged replacement parts, etc.

If I was assembling a dream collection...

Gun1: SIG P226 (.40 S&W)
Gun2: 9" Suppressed 300 Blackout
Gun3: Any reliable .338 bolt gun


Real world based on my limited knowledge and experience...

Gun1: Glock G17 (9mm)
Gun2: SIG 516 Patrol with my suppressor (5.56 / .223)
Gun3: Remington 700 bolt action (.308 Win)

OK, don't laugh, but I think it would go like this for me:
1: Rem 700 308
2: 1911 45 is there any other caliber?
3: High powered Air rifle, I have one that shoots 4 different calibers including cast bullets, so small to medium game covered.

TBH:

1: SIg 9mm
2: Savage Mark II 22 rifle
3: AR-15 5.56

Daughter (she's a pistol herself)

1: 45 hand gun, she's not as picky as me
2: AR-15 5.56
3: Thompson Contender

Obviously, number 3 would be the pistol selection. ;-)

Oh, shoot. I only read the title of the thread.
Pistol, rifle, and shotgun sounds about right.

1. Shotty Remington 700. The 20 gauge I have wanted for like forever.
2. Glock 17
3. A very good pellet gun. Birds and squirrels make for good food in hard times.

In general, I would love to have a SPAS-12 or 12L with a folding stock and 18" barrel. That is one BA shotgun.
