@Liverpool 11 I'm sorry to hear that. My personal experience is a lot better, but growing up in Germany showed me that SHTF likely is a slow decline where most deny it until its too late. I've seen the gradual decline of law and order. You still get into trouble, if you defend yourself with weapons (even without in many stupid cases), but at the same time crime has skyrocketed and many carry illegal weapons and are not shy of using them... Even in the capital they let drug dealers work and fight each other in broad daylight without ever intervening, but if you don't pay your TV fee, or parking ticket...

@Liverpool 11 Just to give you an impression: the jewellery store, my mother bought several items from was raided thrice in a year by robbers armed with illegal guns and had thus to file bankruptcy as the insurance refused to pay (they asked him to pay a guard, but that would have been out of budget) and since he could no longer work due to PTSD. The kiosk near me was raided twice in the night within a year or two. Both times they used extreme violence to get to the cigarettes and lottery tickets. The damage was multiple times higher than the cost of the stolen goods as they had smashed the doors and everything in their path like some fortnite-players. seriously, they had damaged things that did not help their cause but were just on their way. I think last year, there was an interesting news story about a shop manager, who got sick of thieves coming like locusts and running off with ca. 2000 EUR/USD each (which is a quite common occurrence as it seems, though it usually isn´t in the news). He got raided multiple times and once the cops managed to arrest one of them and yet, he was released as soon as his identity was confirmed. The perp immediately went back to the store and stole again from it, but this time the furious manager beat the crap out of him using (illegal) brass knuckle dusters. He ended up accidentally killing him! Personally, I´ve been threatened about half a dozen times by weapons (never by guns BTW) and a classmate tried to murder me (we had an argument about money I had lend to him and a ridiculously low amount to die over, but it escalated beyond my control). The worst part for me was once when my mother, I and two others were threatened by knives (they claimed to want to gut us like pigs, but apparently they just got off at scaring mothers with children). My mother called the cops and they straight out refused to come! They told her that she should thank the mayor for the budget cuts and that both functioning patrol cars are currently elsewhere and they won´t risk their private cars just because some idiots like to play with knives...

@Modern Woodsman Most pocket knives fly about as good as a dead mole. Still, the impact was quite substantial and just to put it into context: I was sitting in the front row in my classroom working on something, while the teacher just went out to get something. To me it came totally out of the blue. I turned around and everyone acted as if nothing had happened. This was the worst part of it. I never found out who did it. There were at least three that were dumb and cruel enough for me to suspect them. BTW: in school other things had been used as projectiles too: biology book, full soda can, glass cola bottle, a big scissor, rocks, an apple, a dustbin filled with cold water (dropped through a light well into the Aula, where people were sitting underneeth). All this happened at a private school! As a side-note: many kitchen knvies fly reasonably well and some of us had a little competition with them. The crazy thing was that the brother of my classmate was such a sour loser that he actually hurled the knife at his brother for mocking him. The brother fortunately slammed the door shut in time, where that knife stuck in deep! both got grounded by their parents, when they saw that mark in the door and figured out that they must have been tossing knives indoors... if they only knew that one was trying to hit the other...

I think the best tip is to stick to common service calibers. Exotic/special calibers could be impossible to get if SHTF. These are usually on sale multiple times a year, so stock up.... .22, 9mm, .45 ACP, .308, .30-06, 5.56. .223, 12 GA., 20 GA., .410......

If you plan on having a group of people, .22LR 10/22 would be #2. In SHTF nobody wants a hole, so any resistance will grab respect. You can buy cases and cases of .22LR ammo, and with 10-25 semi auto .22 rifles you can make your homestead a lead porcupine! With plenty of people not knowing how to handle a gun, within 100 rounds you can have most people on target at 100-200 yards with a .22LR. That way you can cheaply arm and within hours train every able bodied person in your group, as well as send people out for hunting with it.

1. AR 15 20" barrel. 2. Glock 19 3. Savage .308 bolt action 4. Mossberg 12 GA 5. .22 rim fire bolt carrier for AR 15 and 25 round magazine.

my go to rifle would definitely be the venerable ar-15 my long range rifle would be a bolt-action in something like 30-06 or 300wm. my shotgun would be a 12ga with either 00 buck or slugs (probably a little of both) my handgun would be either my current ccw (1911 in 45acp) or something in 9mm (probably glock) my 22 rimfire would most likely be the henry ar7 survival rifle

So I won’t go into specific Rifles and or handguns because there are so many preferences so I’ll go off of my caliber list. 7.62x51 or 7.62x39 223 x 5.56 12 gauge 22LR 20 gauge 45 You can’t forget about the infinite ammo 9MM.

The other thing that I like about the SKS is it is rugged, and you don't feel any need to baby it, so you would actually be comfortable dragging it around while you do other things. And that is the part of shtf that people don't think about. Most of us can't afford a five year bunker. If it goes bad, at some point you will need to get around. A man with an SKS looks like a man who can defend himself, but isn't looking to start trouble, and doesn't necessarily have too much worth murdering him over. The guy in supper tactical gear looks like trouble, so he might be worth taking out before he causes trouble, and he might own things that would make exchanging gunfire worth it.

Seems to me the best weapon for SHTF is the one in your hand when the crap is flying. To cover everything though, and make sure you can find ammo, if you have .308 rifle (any platform, should penetrate all soft armor, black tips will penetrate armor plate) 12ga (pump or auto, for hunting and short range, slugs can penetrate some soft armor) 9mm/357mag (your sidearm should never leave your person) and 22/22mag (for protein gathering, though it still can be a deadly sniping tool in a rifle) In a WROL or Tyrannical situation unconstitutional laws such as the NFA will have no justification and weapons such as SBRs, SBSGs SoSGs, etc as well as devices like suppressors, shotgun traps, mines, etc will be fair game for anyone protecting life and property.

I love my AR 15. It's a great gun, and that is my go to gun. But I also like the 7.62 mm round. And it has many uses. So I had to go out and pick up a VZ 58 to keep as a backup. I love that gun too. Now here is an interesting gun. A Sub-2000 chambered in 40 caliber. Matches my M&P 40 perfectly and fits nicely into a small shoulder bag that is easily concealable. And that one may be the best gray man bug out bag gun out there. My bug out bag easily holds my Sub-2000, my M&P 40, and about 300 rounds no problem. I am really not that interested in shooting someone at 1000 yards. If he is really 1000 yards away, I can most likely avoid him. And besides that is really not a skill I am interested in picking up. Specially since where I live there are so many trees everywhere. I can't see at 250 yards. And no I'm not talking about walking out into the middle of the Interstate highway to shoot someone.

Patreon member here: This is one of the best lists I've seen. Besides a second AR-7 -- "Don't leave civilization without one" -- I'm really liking the .357 Henry. The shorter length is the big selling point for me. AND easier to handle inside a vehicle.

I would pick a ar15 , single action.22 bearcat, and beretta 92 in 9mm. The bearcat can use .22short and .22lr.

A lever action is a good first choice.

Thanks this is really great information, and right along the lines of what I tell all my friends. What I tell them is an order of purchase 1.12g shotgun 2. Ruger 10/22 3. 9mm handgun (Glock or Smith and Wesson) 4. Ar-15 5. 308 battle rifle . For firearms novices the 12 gauge serves the purpose of home defense and shows them the destructive powers of a firearm and how important it is to respect that. The 10/22 will get them into rifle marksmanship cheap and I recommend they go to a project Appleseed shoot to get proficient with it. The 9 millimeter handgun is an excellent choice because one it's a NATO standard cartridge and two it's also the cheapest to shoot and to practice with. Once they get proficient with those three they're definitely going to want an AR and we'll be over the big scary black rifled part by then.

Yes I'm already working on my stock piles now.

9mm pcc/pcc pistol: ar9 or extar ep9 9mm pistol: G19 or canikEC 22lr: ar22 or 10/22 223/5.56:ar15 or tavor 7.62x39: ak47 or galil ace 12 gauge: mossberg 500 or 930spx The most reasonable caliber from top to bottom with a couple examples each. 9mm an 22lr could be swapped for the number 1 and 2 spots depending on the situation.

My little collection is built around my family make-up. "go to rifle" are 5.56 AR platform. Long range rifles are .270 caliber.

I personally carry my S&W model 686. and my Henry arms lever action, both chambered in .357 magnum. I have zero issue with recoil or weight.

For the 22lr I actually mentioned this in another video earlier I have a ruger 10/22 but I keep a cmmg 22lr conversion bolt and mag in my pack with a brick of ammo. 30 seconds and I can swap bolts in my go to ar15 then I can shoot some food or whatever I need to a little quieter. I prefer my semi auto shotgun. I’d like to think I have all ranges covered with my 14.5’ 223 with a 1-6x acss my 20’ 223 with 3-12x Bushnell AR Optics scope. Ks47 with the 1.5-5x leupold. Ar15 in 6.5 Grendel 4-14x primary arms Orion acss. Ruger American 243win 4-16x diamond back tactical. Actually have managed to store up 460rds of 100gn sp for it too.

Good quality guns will usually last a lifetime ( we can work on what we shoot) and I think we’re ready with this part of prepping. Now what about those fish ponds and planting fields? Thanks for a great video.

Which rifle do you recommend for shooting a hole in a Ford's hood? :-)

Definitely something in .308! You are probably going to want to put more than one hole in it and the ammo is still reasonable.

Well said and agree totally.

Years back I worked in a place that did a huge amount of LE business. We were having a conversation with the head of one of the police departments about how much ammunition you would need if things went bad. He said at least 50,000 rounds. A bit more than the 1,000 suggested.

I would disagree about how much more reliable the akm is. I'd emplore everybody to watch the "in range tv" akm mud test. It fails miserably while the ar 15 being a closed system runs like a champ under the same circumstances. Both are good, and have their caviots. I just don't put my ego into my firearms.

I don’t think living in the city area I necessarily need a long range rifle.

You do. Person can shoot at you from a couple blocks away and/or from the 3rd or 4th story of a building. Think about how we do urban ops in the Military. We don't switch to SMGs or shotguns. Rifle is still the weapon of choice.

I am working my way up to an AR, I wanted to get really comfortable with my Walther’s first. 💚

I still say go with what you shoot best and are most familiar with. I do believe you should try and train on as many platforms as possible, but train mostly with what you own and shoot best.

That's what i have for now lol M&P9 Shield everyday carry M&P 15 Sport II .223/5.56 Stevens 320 Field (savage arms) 12 ga Mossberg 702 Plinkser .22Lr and ammo and first aid kits with tourniquets :)

I think there is at least 2 categories of preper guns, home base guns and Bugout guns. If I can't stay at my survival location with all my preps I'm taking an HM Raider AR pistol, Mossberg shockwave, Glock 17 gen5, and possibly if there's room a 357 magnum revolver probably the SW 686 plus for that extra round.

Ar-10 is my go to rifle , 223 is my secondary rifle mini 14 .

Awesome video! -Dimitri

Shooting at The Clinton House at 5:50. I like their course set up.

I'm going to completely reorganize this list as prioritizing what you get. 1. Midsize 9mm pistol such as G19. You want something concealable yet large enough to defend against multiple attackers. 2-4. These will be 3 rifles. I would lean toward a 10-22 first as it will get you game and get you through defensive situations in a pinch as well as provide you with the most training for the least money. Next, would be your go to rifle. I actually really like the AR pistol type firearms for this role to include a 12.5" .308 AR-10 if you foresee armored enemies or the need to engage targets/medium size or larger game out to 600M. At the point you are in this type of rural environment, maybe it would be more advantageous to go 12.5" AR-10 with a .22lr pistol to cover taking game. More generally speaking though, I would advise an AR-15 pistol with an 11.5-12.5" barrel with a 5.56 or .223 Wylde chamber and 1:7 or 1:8 twist and put the long range option at number 4. I actually still really like the 12.5" .308 as an option for what I consider medium range engagements and don't foresee most people needing to engage beyond the easily 600M range of that platform. If you do want/need the range though I can't advise many of the options Sootch presented. Firearms like the FAL, CETME, and G3 tend to be accuracy limited to around 600M even if the cartridge is effective beyond. A 2 MOA rifle gives you a 12" group at 600M. A 1.5 MOA rifle will give you a 12" group at 800M. A 1 MOA rifle will extend that to 1200M. Max effective range will depend on the distance the projectile goes transonic, projectile energy, and the range a 12" group can be held. 5. A 12 gauge shotgun is optional. It has limited usefulness. It is far from the best home defense option. It is useful for hunting especially flying game. Really though, the .22lr will be just as if not more useful depending on your marksmanship for taking any game that isn't in flight. For survival, you don't need the sportsmanship of shooting birds in flight so my recommendation for a 12 gauge isn't going to target it's usefulness against anything animate. I'm actually going to recommend something like the Shockwave or Tac-14 for their portability and usefulness against inanimate objects. A 12 gauge's main usefulness during SHTF is going to be breaching. If you don't need to breach, you're going to be less armed with a 12 gauge than your Go-to rifle in any situation. This is going last on the list also because a pump action 12 gauge is the least likely to ever be banned and would belong to the last category of firearm banned. Beyond breaching, the other benefit of a 12 gauge is giving you the use of a very common type of ammunition. If you don't like what I have to say about the 12 gauge shotgun, then you don't like the conclusion that military and law enforcement have come to. Those 2 entities also have the limited usefulness of less than lethal loads.

I agree with all of the weapons, just not the order. I’d put a handgun a #1 because you can have it with you all the time and conceal it. #2 would be the go to rifle, #3 shotgun, #4 .22lr rifle and last would be a king range option.

Where I am shotgun would be number 2. Lots of game birds around here, would want to put food on the table and with the local terrain I'm not expecting long range engagements.

Oh almost forgot I think a good rifle that fits in this is a CZ Bren 805. Not the easiest to get parts but you should stockpile beforehand like anything else.

Another great video. Hard to not start with a shotgun if you have nothing and work on the other four as money allows. Get a good 870 or 590.

@@Joe_Brown99 Hunting (all game), self defense, ammo availability, long range. Hard to beat a shotgun. Plus a good shotgun is a lot less money than an equally good handgun. I will say handgun is the #2 in my book to get.

If I could only choose one caliber it would be 357 magnum because it's almost as versatile as 12ga, but the ammo is smaller and lighter weight. A 357 magnum rifle has the same energy as a 223 rifle. Plus you can shoot 38 special for small game and 357 magnum for larger game. 38/357 mag are also very easy to reload using homemade lead bullets and there is a wide selection of gun powders you can use for it. Rare calibers might be okay if you reload your own ammo like converting 223 brass into 300 blk brass or like converting 308 brass into 7mm-08, 338 federal or 358 win, but I agree that common calibers like 22lr, 9mm, 223, 7.62x39, 308 and 12ga is probably a better choice. Especially if you don't reload your own ammo. The calibers I reload are 380 acp, 38 special, 9mm, 40 s&w, 45 acp, 357 magnum, 400 corbon, 10mm, 44 magnum, 223/556, 300 blk, 7.62x39, 30-30 win, 243 win, 308 win, 270 win, 30-06 sprg, 12ga, 20ga and 410ga.

I say whatever makes you lethal but also what has a massive parts network, common cartridge. I think a good bolt action is very useful, as well as some type of .22 for small game. A good 9mm like a glock or shield is ideal, 9mm seems to be the best choice. And obviously a good 12 ga shotgun like a mossberg or Remington. Those repeaters are stupid fun though, love em.

You’re the man Uncle Sootch 🇺🇸

my list would be somewhere along the lines of (5.56 AR), 243 or 270 "maybe both" if I acquire a 308 or other caliber at some point this may change. For shot gun I'll go with 20ga with assorted ammunition "just to save weight as apposed to the 12ga" for small caliber rifle I'll go 17hmr instead of 22lr "much more accurate and a little more power and in my area can be found easier than 22 at the moment "this may change if 22 becomes more available in my area" for hand guns it would be 22lr 9mm 45acp and 357mag.

I love my ak47 and i too have an appreciation for an sks as well. Im hoping in the future to buy an sks and an m57 pistol. Im still happy with my 92fs, 380 pocket pistol and mosin nagant as well.

Ok so what I learned from this video... It told me who's house will be raided in a serious shtf situation. I also know that where there's gun fire, there's guns.. where there's guns... there's ammunition.. so that tells me who my next friend or foe is.

I wish you luck in your endeavor.

I think a revolver needs to be the sixth type of gun. Doesnt really matter the purpose or caliber, just have a good revolver.

I guess I'm already on the right track. AR15, AR10, 22 pump rifle, shotguns, pistols. I think now I need to stock up some repair parts.

I am surprised that nobody considers a revolver as the handgun of choice. A 357 magnum would be ideal, especially if you have a 357 magnum lever action.

I would add one or two good quality air rifles to that list. Not talking about a $19.97-29.97 Walmart Daisy, but something a little higher end, along with a few thousand pellets.

The AK-47 is reliable... As long as you don't have cast trunnions. I do want an AK, but I want something built on forged or milled trunnions. So I just built an AR for the meantime

5.56, 9mm, 12 gauge, and of course 7.62×39

Get a quality AR pistol with SBA3 brace. you can swap a rifle stock on if needed. (when there's no more gun law)
