AR-15 or AR-10
Shotgun
Glock 19
There is a lot to be said, however, for a .22 rifle in a "survival" situation as you can use it for hunting small game as well as for a weapon. You can store and carry a LOT of 22 LR ammo in a pretty small space and it's light. I'm not a Glock fanboy and don't even own one but I have friends who do and that Glock 19 is probably the most reliable semi-auto I've ever seen.
Hmmm...
I own that very 8 shot 357 revolver with 2.5 inch barrel. I only load .38 specials in it as my backup gun at work.
Anyone interested in that revolver...they actually make speedloaders for it.
PTR 91 (HK 91 clone, .308)— Battle Rifle
Remington 870 Express 12 Gauge— CQB
.17 HMR bolt gun (Savage)— Light, accurate for small game hunting to 100 yds; can carry thousands of rounds with little weight penalty
I’ve always found pistols utterly useless other than concealed carry; better with hands / sword close up anyway.
AK-47, 357 8-rd spinner, and 12 ga shotgun.
In a worst case scenario of complete societal breakdown there won’t be any case ammo after a while. It will be a black powder world.
I’ll take a Sig Sauer 45ACP,AR15 and my Smith&Wesson 586 357 Magnum revolver.

Class III Uzi, Browning Hi-Power, Ithica Model 37 Police/Riot Gun.
.22 rifle, .257 with .38 ammo as well, 12 gauge.
Correction: .22 rifle, .357 with .38 ammo as well, 12 gauge.
I only have three guns - Ruger 9mm, Remington shotgun, Ruger .22 rifle - so I guess I’ll have to make do.
One for big game, one for small game, and one for carrying. Beyond that, it’s a personal choice.
For me, I have a 12-gauge, an AR22, and a .38 special revolver. I’d like to either change the revolver or at least make some adjustments, the trigger is way too stiff, but for right now that’s what I have. I also have a BB/pellet gun that I inherited from my grandfather, but I don’t know if it has enough power to hunt rabbits with. I’d like a pellet gun I could use for that, we’ve got a lot of rabbits.
I’d say a sidearm you’re comfortable with to carry
And two long arms of your choice dependent upon where
Shotguns not much use unless you decide to survive in a tenement cluster
Which is stupid
I’d have a 20 caliber semi auto with ready ammo
.22 LR has been scarce in real loads since Shady
.223 I reckon
And 7.62
Both for ammo ease alone
Freepers love .22
I grew up with one from birth almost
It’s a varmint gun
I’m not in love with it
3 guns
As one needs to eat.... a solid pump shotgun. With slugs, buckshot and birdshot it is both a food supplier and the best all around detense weapon. A 1973 Winchester has often called “The Gun That Won The West”. But in reality it was the side by side shotgun. The guy next to the stage driver was ‘Riding Shotgun” not pistol or rifle.
It is often said that the purpose of a pistol is to use it to get to your rifle.
So your rifle is next. And If Ammo is in short supply you might not want to ‘spray and pray’. If you use a semiauto you might want to consider placing your shots rather than wasting them. You’re going to want an accurate rifle in a caliber that can take game and protect yourself from a distance....minimum .308 Winchester caliber or thereabouts for range and takedown power. M1A1 or FN FAL would be my choice. (Though I would not feel undergunned with a slick bolt action .30-06)
Hangun?. Tough one. In this situation a small concealable weapon is the last thing I would chose.. though I often carry one now. Only because I must carry concealed in my state.
My choice is a 1911 (or another .45acp weapon with larger capacity) or a model 19 .357 magnum revolver. As stopping power would take precedence over volume of fire.
AR 15 Sig Sauer M400....everyday Primary
Heckler & Koch HK45..Up close and very personal.
BN36 - Long Range go way (300 Win Mag | 7mm Rem Mag)
For close range - Scorpion EVO in 9mm
For mid range - AR-15 in .223 or 7.62x39
For distance - Barrett .50 BMG
1911 AR10 M1919
AA-12
AK
Ruger 10/22
My AK 74, our Mossberg 500 tactical and my Ruger P89. I would also hope to have the 10-22 as a fourth.
