The worst part about being in the opening stages of a financial meltdown is not knowing whether you should be buying gold, or shotguns and canned food.
uhmmm duh, both!
PS you don’t already have your shotgun? you don’t need more than a couple. And you forgot stocking up on ammo.
Shotgun? WTF. You should be buying an M16-A2 with attached M203 grenade launcher.
You should be getting people long before they get close enough for a shotgun to be effective. If you must have a shotgun, pick up an M1014 combat shotgun.
Shotgun was angus’ choice. I’ prefer the kalashnikov personally. Sure it has some aiming problems, but 1. you can get over that and 2. i doubt it will be an issue except against folks with military training, and i don’t have nothing on them, better start recruiting some.
Oh and 3. uhmm they’ve been using it for 70 years! Its dependable and you’re more likely to find replacement parts when you have to go on the road and head to South America.
Good luck Brian, Mike’s much more likely to survive. Not only will he be able to recover ammunition from soldiers, he’ll have the opportunity to make them second guess whether or not they’re just accidentally taking on friendly fire.
