You have to leave on foot, which 2 guns do you take with you and why?

[DaveTheMinion]

Just going to say on average my extended backpacking trips 15-30+miles, my pack usually hovers around the 60-80lb mark. If I'm not mistaken the typical military pack is like 80ish lbs, correct me if I'm wrong guys....

Ok
1,000 rounds of 5.56 is right at 27lbs

And 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39 is right at 37 lbs...

So if someone was dead set on carrying 1,000 rounds for their rifle, with proper planning it could easily be done.

but, I could carry 4k rounds of 22lr vs 1k rounds of .223 for about 1/10th the cost and as far as 7.62 goes, you're talking about 6k rounds assuming you're going witht he 555 packs. 6k rounds is a lot of shooting my friend. Granted center of mass and such won't be very effective, but head shots will definitley be effictive. The right optics cowitnessed with irons on a 22 and you have a man killer capable of killing farm animals, wild game, etc. Granted you know there will be ammo to be found, but not in stores where you can buy it. When the battlefield supplies run out, it will come to a who has more ammo deal. If you're using your 223 as an all around gun, you're dropping several squirres, rabbits etc aday, fighting off enemies, that 1000 rounds will go quick.

Didnt say it couldnt be done but dont forget that your backpack isnt only going to have ammo.

S&W 386 and the old SKS. Of course...I might have my new Steyr M40 already on me.

 

[lilred06]

I'd have to take four..Glock 21 and AR with .22 kit for me, AR (also with said ".22 kit") and Glock 19 for Ms. LR

 

[Luthier]

Remember folk's a lot of your kills Animal or Human should be done silently, mass killings would require ammo...

 

[DaveTheMinion]

Do I need to get my calculator and figure out the load rating of my boots?,,,I sure hope they are E rated

I hope mine are z rated, cuz i wanna get the f outta dodge

 

[ethanj1911]

870 and ruger mark III

 

[Luthier]

good idea, I'll take a small bag of potatoes in my back pack too,,,they make good silencers if you hollow them out then stick them over the end of your barrel, then it's squirrel and tater fer supper

:-)

 

[FredAlert]

Good call.

Ruger 10/22 because I can also carry 4000-5000 rounds and Glock 19.

Why wouldn't both of you be carrying a rifle that uses the same mags and ammo so that they're interchangeable between you?

Can't do it. There is a Henry Survivor AR7 in my BoB along with 1000 rounds of .22, 100 9MM and 3 mags for the AK and AR. So if the wife and I have to head for the hills I'm carrying a Glock27 or 23 and my AK. The wife will be carrying a Glock 27 or 23 and an AR15. The AR7 makes 3, sorry. Both Glocks have 9MM conversion barrel/mag setups. As for papers, the MOST important papers in a SHFT evacuation are:
