I agree with you here. If i could only have one firearm, i would want to prioritize:
- reliability
- easy to find parts
- easy to find ammo
- cheap to practice with
This limits me to an AR, AK, or semiauto plastic fantastic pistol in 9mm. Now because i’m american and i can have more than one firearm, got fancy and configured a sbr scar 17 to be my go-to rifle, a mossberg 590, and a g19.3 to be my go-to pistol. I don’t have any delusions of getting into firefights or saving the mayor’s daughter. I’m the farthest you can get from a supermoto greyman wanabe-specops devgru swat ninja. If shit truly hits the fan, I know i’m probably going to die very quickly.
Thank you for that fascinating and entertaining dissertation

Every American needs a rifle in 5.56mm or .223 Wylde, and one 7.62X71 (.308 Win). They need a .22 lr rifle and .22 lr pistol. A 12 gauge pump shotgun that accepts 2 3/4" or 3" shells. A pistol in 9mm and a pistol in .45 ACP.

^^Those are staples. Everything else is extra.

A thousand rounds for each is a good starter kit.

7.62x51 = .308

That's a long 308 round. You might want to think of trimming it a bit......😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

AR platform owners: 5.56 primary

Bolt gun platform adherents: 7.62x51 primary. 5.56 if you like shooting smallbores.

Shotgun nerds: 12 guage DUH... LOL

Straight wall connoisseurs: Yall got the new Henry ranch/homesteader's carbine in 9mm yet? Play cowboy AND be able to resupply from downed tangos one day if the worst comes...

Pistols: 9mm PRIMARY. .45 ACP secondary.
Attempting to cover the bases and be ready for some resupply from downed tangos…

And for the curious, the bottom carbine is 5.45x39.

10x better than the BFGs we previously had. Have these on 3 tuned HD trucks and they're going 40,000+ miles. Great on ranch roads, plenty of traction in the mud, that's said, these are ranch trucks that pull trailers on the highway, not mud boggers.
BFGs suck. I laugh every time I hear guys talking about how great they are
 
I buy them 25,000 at a time.

I bought a pallet of shot shells once a few years ago... split it between 10 guys and I think we were like 2 bucks a box or 2.25 per box. Was super cheap to do. That was around the same time we bought a pallet of 22lr for 12k and turned it into 80k in 3 days... LOL...
