Clint got the Alex Jones voice right now. Must've been yelling at the globalists again
There making the frogs ĝay! Lol
Based
😁
@@daniel-eo3rzI like RFK Jr but I don't think he supports the 2a :(
😂
I think in everybody's SHTF scenarios, their top 5 list is going to be whatever they own at the time.
Most definitely...I'm a newbie and I think I got one of most of the list 1 ar15 1 270 bolt action 1 mossberg 2 ak47s a cz scorpion that was my backpack gun but it's a sbr now with the ak47 pistol, and a few pistols I'm gonna get a 10 22 charger takedown for a backpack gun and trick it out..anything else you think I need or should want lol and yes I got the cz and ak47 sbr for free 😊...I wanted a cool stock on both so I figured why not get them free
@@johnnieray2423how were they free?
@@johnnieray2423 very nice collection. I have an AK, AR, 590a1, Henry Lever 357. Don't have a backpack gun yet.
That's why it's called preparing and not waiting.
@@Mgarcia3160590A1 is a beast of a shotgun
Ammo availability should dictate the gun. 22lr 9mm 556/223 308/762
This!
Then you should go with blackpowder, airgun or arrows because your going to run out
People say that, but first thing everyone shoots to
@@awsomedude9111I’ve got we’ll over 100k rounds of each. I’ll likely die before I run dry.
it really depends on the situation in an apocalyptic world i can see you point as when scavenging that will be most likely the calibers you would come across but other situations maybe other caliber rounds maybe more suitable
I'm in a major city. So...my SHTF guns are the Glock 9mm and a 9mm carbine. Why? It's one caliber and I can carry 1,000 rounds, easily, in my Go Bag. Both are easily stowed and out of sight when I need them to be. Both take Glock mags. Simplicity and modularity in an emergency situation.
What's your choice in carbine?
@@edstrazz2758 not a carbine, but...spc9 suppressed for me
You're gonna hump around a 1000 rounds of 9mm ball?
Completely agree, no way anyone is going to be able to have enough amd carry 5 different types of ammo, I stick to 9mm, 5.56 .22 and 12 gauge, I have an AK but only 1 and 9 mags whereas I have multiple rifles that shoot 556, 12 gaugue and 9mm as well as all pistols in 9mm and 2 in .22lr
You're getting picked off at 50 yards.
honestly would love to see a solid series on this topic, even as far as gear and all for shtf like theres a lot yall could do
I agree with the ar-15/M16 because of its modularity. You can easily fix almost anything pretty easily. If even the barrel explodes and if you have or if you can find another complete upper, you're back in the game. You can use multiple calibers and a lot of them you can even use the same magazines. You can use uppers chambered in .22 lr, .223/5.56mm, .300 aac bo, .458 Socom, and even .410 shotgun uppers. They're easy to clean. If you and a few guys each had one standard AR-15 and many types of different calibered uppers and lots of ammo for each upper, you can potentially be a 2 to 5 man army.
Is it not a bit naive to think you’ll be cruising around a battlefield carrying multiple uppers or finding the parts you need at the exact moment your *** goes down?
I love this! Do this with pistol shtf, ar’s/mid range shtf, budget shtf, etc. this is a good series in todays world. Love it! Thank you
I love this, Kinda had a similar list myself! You guys make the best videos, always educational and super informative! Thank you guys for what you do!
Great job! 1.Good AR, 2. Ruger 10 22, 3. AR10 in 308, 4. Pump 12 Ga, 5. Not against the bolt but want it to exceed by far what the 308 can do. Minimum 300Mag or 7mmMag better would be 338. 50bmg has a lot going for it as a force multiplier against vehicles.
1. AK
2. 5.56 AK
3. Zastava M77(AK in .308)
4. Ruger 10/22
5. Good pump shotgun
👍😝
Perfect list
THRASH METAL MATTERS, love the AK's, love my M85
Mine is..
1.Galil
2. Galil
AR in 5.56
7.62x39 upper for AR
.22LR upper for AR (or conversion kit)
You're welcome.
AK is overrated
Love these kind of videos. Would love to see more.
I enjoy the simplicity of these scenario videos, thanks for the content!
Thanx for mentioning the Ruger 22. Ive got the 22 Charger with a brace. A blast to shoot. And thanx to Kaya for telling his story about a 22. Never heard anyone volunteer to stand down range and take one since its such a "wimpy" round
I am in an urban area. The longest distance engagement I might have is 200-300 yards at most. I am pretty confident with my AR's as my go to for SHTF.... I think the "go to" SHTF weapons is location dependent. If I lived in a rural area, yeah I might want something bigger with magnification of some type. I think considerations need to be taken if you plan to "bug out." I don't plan on bugging out, I have nowhere to go. AR is a pretty good combination of home protection/sentry gun and semi long distance engagements.
bugging out is a flawed concept, especially if you don't have some cabin in the woods beforehand...
My thoughts also@@hobbz4921
@@hobbz4921 the basic idea and original intent is not flawed at all. Bugging out is meant to be bugging out to a specific location that ideally would not be experiencing the same SHTF situation. But the term has been misconstrued to mean heading out into the woods to live off the land. But that is really bushcrafing and not bugging out.
Bugging out also doesn't always mean to head to a remote cabin in the woods either. It could just be a family or friend in another city or state.
If you're in an urban area you are most likely screwed if you don't bug out.
Do yourself a favor and find a place to bug out. If it's a real SHTF scenario, urban areas will be extremely toxic and they'll get that way very fast.
You're absolutely correct about the AR being a great general purpose rifle, and if you can't get out of town, it will serve you quite well. I would add some magnification though. A flip to the side 3x or 5x magnifier can be had on the cheap. Not really needed for shooting, but it really helps with target ID. Good luck to you.
And remember kids, do your calisthenics like uncle Kaya!!
A 14.5" AR + Glock 19 for SHTF.
16 inch AR-15 with a Glock 20 10mm
Great video and i think this list is accurate for a general purpose SHTF. In my mind an AR is the number 1 for most scenarios. I also believe if SHTF and it's in the northern part of America where it gets to be below freezing during the winter, imma rock the AK until it gets warm out or i want to hunt bigger game... with that being said, be proficient on multiple platforms... bc if Red Dawn scenario comes into play, their stuff can become your stuff...
I'd ditch the bolt gun for an AK mostly because if SHTF from outside forces, they will more than likely be armed with the same. Ammo, parts, and ultimately, extra firepower would be available. I agree on everything else.
SKS, it's a rifle, a war club, and a spear all in one. Bonus: it can be used to roast hotdogs.
Make short of cooking a hotdog on your bayonet over a campfire.
Best comment
That's awesome
My go to rifle. Not many people are saying sks but it's an amazing tool
Also take 5 minutes to reload and only holds 10 rounds. Ditch the sks and just get an Ak already
Sweet episode. Totally makes sense. In central Europe a lot of people would probably go for AR or BREN in 7.62x39
scoped 10-22 takedown, Tavor 7 with LPVO, X95 with red dot, definitely a bolt gun, and my Remington Marine Magnum 12 gauge.
An AR in 556 is easily convertible to calibers such as 22LR, 300 BLK etc and just incredibly versatile and affordable.
New gun owner here. How do you easily convert AR's to a new caliber? Is it as simple as just buying a new upper with a different caliber? Thanks!
@@soota6083 a 5.56 ar can actually be converted into 22lr with just a drop in kit thing that basically just replaces the bolt carrier. it's like 200 bucks i think? dont even need to change the barrel
@@soota6083 some calibers require a new upper with matching barrel and bolt. Some just need a new barrel such as the 300 blackout. Others may need an adapter in the mag well along with the appropriate magazine. Different combinations will need different items. But most can be solved with just a new complete upper. You'll need to research each round to see what it will take
@@violetvictoria9908actually you do or you'll ruin your barrel.
@@DKOutdoorAdventures Actually you can. Don’t give out wrong info before researching first
Loved this type of video! Keep them coming!
There are some really great light weight choices for 308’s, the newest being the ruger sfar 6.8-7.8lbs, my personal favorite the POF Revolution (short stroke gas piston, adjustable gas block, lots of technological improvements, the upper and rail are one piece, best part is that it’s the same length as an 16” ar15, and the same weight as the m4 I believe at 7.4lbs), 16-18” FAL’s, 16-18” m1a’s, key-tec rfb 8.1lbs, scar 17 7.9lbs, Cz bren 308 8.3lbs, galil ace 308 8.2lbs, I think there are quite a few but definitely the ruger and the pof make the best case for light weight battle rifle, there is still the ammo penalty, but maybe we can develop some light weight level 4 or 5 plates or make the ammo lighter.
I’ve been waiting for this top 5!
Not everyone can afford a Knights Armament SR-25. Which I believe starts at $7500. I'd go with the PSA Sabre 10 .308. $1500.
Psa makes good affordable rifles
I love my KAC
My last build was specifically my SHTF rifle.. Aero Pro 16.3 upper and M4E1 Lower AR, Geissele SSA-E, Vortex Strike Eagle FFP 1x8 LPVO, magpul offset metal BUS, magpul bipod, magpul STR stock, MOE+ grip, streamlight weaponlight with pressure pad.
Figured in this situation ammo/mags/battery availability was important in a scavenging scenario (hence 5.56/223 and AR platform)
Also wanted all optics and sights to be fuctional without any power (no batteries, EMP etc)
16.3 was a compromise for distance since I live in the suburbs, equal distance (within 15 miles) from a major metro city, and open hills/woodlands/mountains
The .22 is a good small game and close defense weapon. A 25 round "J" magazine will be a genuine surprise in a gun fight, you can carry a 10 round small mag, in your top shirt pocket. Another option, a 12 pump along with a 1911 style .45 or 9MM as a belt carried weapon might give you time to reload the 12G.
Seeing how the serialized lower receiver of the AR is considered the firearm it would be more versatile than it might appear. A 5.56 upper with a CMMG .22 LR conversion kit all the way up to .450 Bushmaster and everything in between with the swap of an upper. A 9mil PCC goes without saying for a good SHTF weapon. As does a 12 gauge shotgun.
I'll have what Clint has.
up to 450 bushmaster? Dont forget the Beowulf
I believe that it would be prudent to stay with something that ammo would be more likely to acquire, 308 , 223, and maybe a couple of others. for the long guns.
mine is the 20in ar15 with a quad rail, surefire light, 2 point sling, and a 1-6x lpvo
You should do Top 5 for PCC or even better AR-15 Pistols that would work for close quarters/truck/vehicle. I would say majority of conflicts like SHTF will be close quarters or from a vehicle type of interaction. Just a suggestion for another video. Love the content from Classic Firearms. and GOD BLESS AMERICA!
"Top 5 PPC: None of them" 😂
@@EroticOnion23 did you think you would ever see "PCC" and "SHTF" together in the same sentence? I sure didn't 😂
You want a pistol round for fighting around vehicles?
Hope the adversary also has a pistol round 😉
@@NoNo_IStay it’s more about the availability of the 9mm ammo over 5.56. More people I would say have 9mm firearms than 5.56 firearms.
@@NoNo_IStay vehicle comment was more associated with the ar15 pistol not the pcc.
Lights on your rifle can/will reflect light unintentionally when not even used.
I use a flip open scope cover to cover the light until I need to light it up.
Hope this helps 👍
This. One hundred concepts makes a weapon light cap that flips over the end of the light.
@@AlexA-ef9tbI second the One Hundred Concepts although there's a slight learning curve to get the cap exactly how you like it. It's nice they include extra shock cord for this.
@@AlexA-ef9tb : LOL, I thought I was so clever. I didn't know there was such a thing already.
I have three of the One Hundred Concepts light covers already.
@@doublezzranch849 I’d still say your ahead of the game of making your own solution to prevent accidental light discharge. A lot of guys I know don’t even run flashlights on their rifles.
during katrina the military went door to door taking peoples guns one soldier tackled an elderly women LIVE on camera while a news crew was interviewing her because she took out a revolver unloaded and laying flat in her hand.
Yep! We are conditioned to think it can’t happen to us! It will it’s a matter of when!!
@@djcrash1471anybody tries to disarm me they better be wearing plates.
@@coreymac5578 The military will be wearing plates. And they will come as a team.
@@adammathers4879 and what makes you believe the military would go against the american citizenry?
@@coreymac5578 Uh. Because they have? You just read a comment about a time in the 21st century where they did exactly that.
MY picks
1 - AR 556
2 - AR 10
3 - Bolt rifle 243 or bigger of common calibers so you can find ammo
4 - Bolt 22 LR
5 - full size 9mm semi auto
Very important 2A PSA! Thank you for mentioning it.
I agree except maybe the bolt gun . A good AR 10 with a scope would be more versatile. I think the AK and AR 15 should share #1 🤔
Now we need top 5 shtf pistol list!!
The 500 S&W Magnum should for sure be on that list!
Glock, Glock, Glock, Glock, and last but not least, Glock!
The ruger 10/22 is a solid choice, but I would have (and have) gotten the ruger talo exclusive with the magpul backpacker stock. Still inexpensive but much better configuration for SHTF
depends on the area you’re in when shtf. shotgun is going to have different uses in the city vs the countryside, same with rifles. even the way you build them, to handle quickly in hallways and small rooms vs placing long range shots. guns are tools and there are always different tools for different jobs.
Personally a folding AK74 in 5.45x39. Lighter ammo, better ballistics and range, semi customizable, ammo is semi available but stocked. However in Detroit it’s whatever a person can get their hands on honestly.
If you already have the ammo, it's a fantastic choice. If you don't already have it then, kinda boned.
I just finished my BCM 9” .300blackout when my sf 300sps got released. Gonna be hard to choose anything else at the moment. With 220gr subs I can fire shots without getting easily detected. If I need to take some farther shots, I can switch to 110gr supers and deploy my 3x magnifier…
I could also pack another upper in 5.56 with a scope mounted, say a 14.5” with a 1-6x, and add even more versatility to my gear..
I got an 8.5" blk with a banish 30 and it is real quiet
My 3 shtf guns. Aero precision m5e1 308 18" barrel, beretta a300 ultima patrol, s&w m&p 2.0 10mm 4.6" barrel.
AR 10 & 15 are both very reliable now. They will also allow you to access belt fed weapons after the smoke settles 😊.
You mentioned weight with the AR10. They do make magnesium recievers, light weight handguards etc. my ar10 weighs 8.4 lbs from magazine to sling, to scope (2-12, not an LPVO). It also is a consistent sub MOA gun with Berger 168s. It’s also lighter than my tikka 😂. Also another option for the budget minded people that want an AR platform… enter the ruger sfar. Pretty easy to get an sfar under 9 lbs. ar15 in 300 blk, 6.5g etc is a good option depending on ammo.
My 3d printed ar10 is ridiculously light
I’ve been on vacation in Dominican Republic since Monday and when I tell you I miss my daughter and guns…you have no idea 😂
I'm a total newb in this world of preparedness and only have one of the items listed here. That being said, if shtf, obviously I've got what i
I got. However, I have been prioritizing training with the firearms that I DO have. A good, reliable carry pistol in 9mm and a decent semi auto rifle in .223/5.56. I still hope to have a few more of what you've listed in this video at some point in the future.
IMHBAO, those are by far the most important to have. That's what I have for my go-to set-up. For my handgun I have a .40 barrel and a .22LR conversion slide to give me more options. For my rifle I also have a .22LR conversion kit and I'm building a 7.62x39 upper for more options.
Spend your money and time getting them set up appropriately before you buy more guns. Also, remember YOU are the most important part of the system, so develope your skill set, develope a strategy (plan) and work on your tactics.
1. Ruger 10/22 Magnum Supressed
2. Mossburg 590M 12ga Pump Shotgun
3. .308 Short Stroke Semi-Auto (Sig Spear MCX Supressed)
4. Short Stroke AR-15 (SIG Spear MCX LT Supressed w/spair 300BLK upper)
5. .50 BMG (Barrett 107 Supressed)
Great video. And it's funny, my MK18 style item has been my SHTF for years, but I'm transitioning to my 14.5" AR for SHTF, like Clint was saying. Great minds think alike.
I have a 6.8 spc with a 11.5" barrel I wanted the 6.8 spc because you still get 2200fps with a 10.5" barrel and I have a 16" 5.56 in my ruck sack always with ammo for it as well just in case I can't find 6.8 spc in a SHTF situation may be extra weight but well worth it if I need it fast
@@VroomNBoomDo you carry a combat load of mags for both the 6.8 and regular 556 in your ruck?
Interesting choices. Surprised there wasnt an AR variant shorter than 16" on the list since theres so many P&W 13.7 and 14.5 available if you dont want to SBR. Feel like a PCC would be a good one on here, 9mm is everywhere.
Thats just it, the lame ass atf rules making it harder to own a shorter barrel rifle, in my personal opinion a pistol isnt worth it because you lose alot of the ability to control your firearm with no stock
I was expecting to see the ruger pc9 since it’s 9mm and takes Glock mags. Good for defense and close range hunting
@@hcctendeep7047it's only hard if you're scared
I agree because in SHTF I am not going to want 5-6 different ammo types, so 9mm pistol and PCC would go well together especially with same mags
Get a good bullpup and skip the NFA stuff all together
I have em all on the main list. Honorable mention of lever and AK I don't have. Got rid of my Marlin 30-30 a couple years ago.
My personal list would be:
1: AR-15 in either 5.56x45 NATO or 9mm Luger (Glock mags for 9mm variant)
2: Glock 19 Gen 5 handgun
3: Ruger 10/22 rifle (preferably the takedown model w/ Magpul backpacker stock)
4: Mossberg 590, 500, or Maverick 88 12 gauge
5: Remington 700 in 308 or 300 Win Mag
I believe having weapons that ammo can be scrounge for if needed. I have an AR that is done inside and out with NP3. A Russian AK, and an M1A. All of the popular rounds. That's not counting the 3 shotguns, and pistols. I have enough ammo were it
would take a while to worry about getting ammo. I also have a 10/22, a Sub 2000, and a Baretta storm for my wife, even though she can handle all rifles and pistols I have. Her favorite is my Robar 1911 that has the thunder ranch package. Don't get some wildcat round.
I agree, so in Africa, scrounge ammo by and large is 7.62x39 and 7.62x51. I have both calibres and a few rifles that chamber both. Good options for us.
You guys should rehash the Boogaloo videos from TFBtv and do a gun combos for SHTF!
Clint and Kaya, You are both fantastic.
My top 5 long guns is pulled from what I personally have. 1. Modern Sporting Rifle. 2. SKS 3. Ruger PC Carbine 4. 1 of several Lever Action (357, 44, 45LC, 45/70) 5 M1 Garand Hon Mention, 10/22 and Ruger Ranch in 5.56.
I always think about ammo availability my shtf picks from what I own Keltec Ksg, Mauser that has been converted to 30-06 for distance engagement, my AR 14.5 with OSS helix 5.56, my custom pcc chambered in 9mm, and I know this ammo isn’t as readily available but my marlin lever action chambered in 35 Remington
My Jim Fuller AK is absolutely my go to and I’m former Army Infantry. Sorry but the AK is better than any M4 I’ve ever owned.
AK should definitely live on the top 5 list. I disagree with Kaya in that I do think it is amazingly simple. FAR simpler than an AR-15 to keep working. Only reason to discount the AK would be ammo availability when compared to the AR-15.
My top 5 of guns I own? AR-15, AK-47, Marlin 30-30 (for the bars), TacSol .22 bolt action (for the squirrels), AR-10.
Not just ammo availability. The price to play with an AR is however much you want to spend and you can snag an AR for far less or piece one together. You can take a AR out of a box and literally throw anything on it you want, accessory mounting of the AR is by far superior.
My bug out gear:
Shockwave
Galil SAR
P365
Door entry: lock picks and breaching rounds
What your thoughts on 6mm ARC? Would be super interested in a video on that cartridge.
As POG Clint said, the AR15 is a familiar weapon. I trained on the M4A1 while in the Army. My main defensive weapon for home is my DD MK18. Great video guys.
For a Red Dawn situation, AR-15 hands down but I don't own one yet, haha! So, it would be my Ruger PCC, since I have a ton of Glock mags that would go with my sidearm, Glock 17.
If the situation is a natural disaster, I'm grabbing one of my shotguns. Most likely my Winchester 1300, since I have a ton of 12 gauge ammo and various types. I skeet shoot with it, so I'd feel comfortable defending and hunting with it. I could take small or large game for hunting or defend with it, given the ammo.
Honorable mention would be my Marlin 336 since I have a ton of ammo for it but I have a feeling, I won't find much 30-30 out there if I need to scavenge.
ARs are cheap now my friend. Psa has them for about 500-600
Top three are AR15 7.5", 13.7- 16", 18", bolt 308 with mags and free float barrel and m lok rails to mount accessories and unmount them. 9mm glock 19. The parts, price, availability, modularity, aftermarket equipment, and accessories make any of these picks more appealing.
Perfect timing, we need to be ready!
I think the morale of this story is that your SHTF rifle should be whatever you have the most experience with or ammo on hand.
I really like how they list the model of the weapon at the bottom of the screen when they do these videos. The ZPAP is an AK the only difference is the furniture. I'd take an AK over an AR.
The Zpap also uses a 1.5mm receiver rather than 1, has a bulged trunion and a dimpled receiver. All of which make it stiffer because it was originally intended to launch rifle grenades using a gas block cutoff/front sight combo. He’s underplaying how much it weighs - they’re noticeably heavier than most other AKMs
Depending on the situation 5) Falkor Petra 300 win mag 4) Bishop firearm 1895 lever action 458 SOCOM 3) Kriss Vector 10mm 2)FN M249 Saw 1) BCM AR15 556 or 300BO.
Just stop! Enough with the video game loadout kiddo. We're talking about real world scenarios here.🤡
@@joshrandall3632 I don’t play video games and im no kid. But it sounds like you must be if you know what’s in those video games. Stop hating on what I have and you wish you had.
I have a 20 inch Hellion. Jack of all trades rifle. Compact but no compromise on ballistics.
This should have been a top 5 fight
I truly think the AR15 should be on this list instead of AK. At least in America. The ammo and parts are abundant, they are lightweight, super customizable to match your specific needs, and interchangeable with multiple calibers. They also work close range and decently well far range. Other than that, 2-5 were spot on. Cheers!
Besides parts availability theres literally nothing an AR15 can do that dozens of other guns cant do better. The same can be argued about the AR10 but to a lesser degree.
What? An AK? It really is what you have and run the best but nobody is carrying 6 types of ammo
@@AdrenalineTheory Well in real SHTF, parts availability is probably more important than almost anything else so that's not to be understated
@@realdirtyd That would make sense under normal circumstances but to think youd be finding parts for anything if shtf in any truely impactful way is just naive. lol
Why not? you're not looking in the desert or fishing in the ocean for BCGs you'd just take someone's ar15 and ammo with your ar15 and ammo@@AdrenalineTheory
YES, please do individual videos for specific categories. [Shorties, shotuguns, 308s etc...)
Love the videos
Thank you for standing with Kyle. he is a hero. Unsure why TH-cam doesn't think so.
He was an atf agent
Scar 17. Light, reliable, light recoil, accurate and a real cartridge. Buy once cry once. Layaway got me mine over 10 years ago. POF Rogue also good.
For me it would depend on how long SHTF is expected to last. I mostly agree with you, but if it were a Mad Max situation, I'd actually probably take a FAL over the SCAR for the durability aspect. I could see myself slipping and banging my rifle on a rock and breaking the lower receiver at the pistol grip with a SCAR. 🙂
My top 4 is the 4 guns I own. My 9mm Smith and Wesson m&p9 m2.0 compact optics ready with a thumb safety and flat face trigger. My stevens pump 12 gauge, my savage axis 6.5 creedmoor and my go to recce gun,my Ruger AR-556. That's what I've got and I'm good with that. An AR will handle anything you throw at it and you can change the caliber to almost anything. .300 is in my opinion, the best all around AR caliber due to sheer ballistics and weight of ammo alone.
My personal picks I’ve got ready:
SCAR 17 / Mark 8 CQBSS 1.1-8x24 with H-27D ret. Seal Mod 0 aluminum lower with “G” trigger. Surefire dual fuel scout
Benelli M4 12ga with a DP Pro on top. Surefire scout
Custom PRS 308 bolt gun / Mark 4 PSR1 6.5-20x50 / TMR ret. Like on the XM2010
PWS carbon bbl toggle bolt (10/22 style rifle) 3-9x33 EFR Leupold
Radian Mod 1 14.5” AR15
Mark 8 CQBSS 1.1-8x24 w/ H-27D ret. And a DP Pro on an offset mount.
Surefire dual fuel Scout.
Classic Firearms could probably put out a photo calendar with Kaya with different apocalypse loadouts and it would sell so fast (no homo obviously), my pick is just an AR15, different uppers for different scenarios (5.56 for general use, .22 for small game, if possible .458 in special cases)
Can we bring Alex back. He was great
Awesome vid I'd love to see a SHTF 5 handguns vid very cool.
The AK should definitely be in the top 5
Actually Clint, even in 1980 we shot at 500 meters. M16s of course. Did they change to yards ? Us crayon eaters would like to know. Thanks , Semper Fi
I went through in '93, the last range I went to was in '06 and it was still 500 yards.
It's not that much of a challenge to get expert now that they have the ACOG. It's been a real game changer. I used one on an A4 out to 300 and it was like being in a shooting gallery.
Semper fi.
Perfect timing🔥
Mine would be my 10" x39. Light, hits hard, accurate as far as I can see.
357 lever action. Shoots 38 and can be matched to a revolver. How the SHTF was won!
I definitely agree on a good lever action shtf gun
To not have a 7.62x39 weapon on your list is telling. Remember in a SHTF scenario, everyone becomes a scavenger. We will all be living off of the battlefield to some extent. 5.56/223 and 7.62x39 will be the most likely rounds available for scavenging. Sig Sauer MCX in the 7.62x39 would have been a good choice and to some extent replace a 308, not in the distance category, but having enough punch for hunting up to deer.
SIG MCX in x39 is the last rifle I would choose in that caliber. The mags are not common at all. You’ll be able to find AK mags everywhere. Good luck finding a 7.62x39 ar15 mag. You’d be better off with the new CMMG dissent.
@@crispusattucks6094 Not an issue for me Crisp, got plenty of mags for it. The Duramag SS comes in AR style 7.62x39 mags in various sizes up to and including 28 rounds and 30 rounds. I imagine there are plastic mags for it as well, but I stay with steel. The Duramag’s fit my Sig as well as an AR pattern SBR I just finished building.
so... I have 2 SHTF rifles. the first is a S&W FPC M&P 2.0. I keep it in a small case in the back seat of my truck.
the second is my at home gun. sig 556xi. I'll be selling it to a buddy of mine shortly and getting a PSA Jakl
Great video.
Kaya is getting way better at being on camera!!!
I couldn't agree anymore with the number 1 pick. Specifically the M4A1 it'll always be my favorite weapon/AR.
Honestly you can cover everything with just 3 firearms! #1- 12gage, it’s got the most options for ammo types! Bird shot, buckshot, and rifled slugs. Pump action or mag fed AR 12gage will work for 9/10 situations. #2- AR10 in 308 or 270 will take care of your long range situations. For #3- 22LR or 22WMR. 22mag is a very underrated option that with good shot placement you can drop a moose! The 22LR is cheap and plentiful with a large range of bullet types. From shot shell to segmented hallow points that can take small game up to man sized predators. To make this a top 5 #4 and #5 should be pistols. I would go with the 45ACP +p or 45 SUPER over the 9mm for sure for #4 and for #5- I would go with a 460 S&W. Ammo options are great cause you can shoot not just the 460S&W but the 454Casull, 45colt and one of the best hunting revolvers available. If you have trouble getting the 460S&W the 44mag/410 revolver is ok but right now 410 is damn near impossible to find. Let me know what you think of my recommendations
I've got an AR10, and it is, by far, my favorite rifle. If I had to go into battle, it would be my choice.
AR10 in 308 with a binary. I mostly used the 240b during deployment. Tp9sfx 9mm. They’re the only two weapons I own
The sr25 is a fine choice. I'd go with an AR-15 for versatility. Either a knights armament, H&K, or a Noveske. Some sort of bolt action would be really helpful as well. That Aero is perfect.
1. Sam 5 AK 47 (that's .556 for the uninformed)
2. .45-70 Henry all weather
3. Tikka UPR .22lr
4. Tikka UPR .308
5. FN 510 tactical
6. Shadow Systems MR920 Elite
Honorable mention: Compound Bow
Don't disagree with any of those. But for me I would modify the bolt gun to something like a Remington 7600 (biased because I've used it for hunting for many years). But all of the benefits of a pump shotgun with a rifle caliber and magazine fed. Not a popular rifle except in some niche circles but it's definitely a go to for me.
Full size SBR Draco with good dot, white light, sling, reliable mags, and lots of ammo
My go to is my ZEV upper and lower receiver's VLTOR A5 buffer system Noveske 14.5" CHF chrome lined barrel with headspaced bolt and Forward Controls accessories. Oh with my NV setup, optic is the Night Force 1-8 .
Super impressed with your weenie flex.🤡
The AR-10 based Lewis Machine and Tool; MWS doesn't get much press. But the UK chose them for their designated Marksman Rifle. And it shoots 1 moa with standard 7.62x51 ammo. Doesn't need sniper ammo!
But even better you can swap barrels in less than 5 minutes. LMT makes barrels for the MWS in most .308 based cartridges i.e. 6.5 Creedmoor, .243. 7.08, etc.
Hopefully the new they will make a .277 Fury barrel! Different length barrels are available. You can carry your 13" 7.62 x 51 for CQB barrel in your backpack. 20" 6.5 Creedmoor for long range.
Their Proprietary monolithic Upper makes them very sturdy and you can leave the scope mounted to the rifle. The point of impact when you swap barrels can be recorded in your 'log book! They take Magpul as well as SR-25. These can shoot just as well as a Knights.
I currently own the MWS with the 20" 6.5 Creedmoor and a 16" 7.62 x 51. A 13" 7.62 x 51 is on the wish list. But that will require a tax stamp.
Cheers
That Ptr 91 behind y’all on the wall is 👌👌
I just love how all these city folks plan on going out to the forest and hunting when SHTF... Guess who else is planning on "heading for the hills" EVERYONE!! And gues who is already there, the folks that live in the hills.. all you are doing is bringing more supplies for them to harvest.
So what's your plan?
@@un_known_876 instead of heading for the hills when, and only when SHTF, spend some time out there beforehand and get your "vacation home" established..
Or, find a reasonable piece of property just outside the city, and build your "fortress" so you don't have to run..
