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.
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.

Who’d a thunk that Hippy Steve would be the realist in the group?

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

Attempting to cover the bases and be ready for some resupply from downed tangos…
