A shotgun and a good pistol is what I thing you need.

But Im starting to think a Pistol caliber carbine may be a good choice as operation is simpler and it has better accuracy than a pistol. Check out the video at the bottom of the page :)

That's why I always have to post an announcement 48 hours in advance on the Canteen door if I'm going to be gone.

Speaking of Oreo's...it's almost time for lunch.
