Ha! Yeah let me know how that works out for you. You'd be better off with a .22 rimfire.
Me, Tavor or VZ58, depending on ammo supply.
What is your last ditch rifle....

I guess the VZ/CZ has a good point too...... 7.62x39 would prolly be one of the last types of ammo to be fully depleted. (Cept for the fact that most places that use that ammo BURN through it and cant hit anything where as most shooters using a 7.62x51 just need one shot)

One of my .44-40 lever guns. The original assault rifle. No gas system to bung up.
I was actually thinking about this last night...
I would take my No.4 Mk1. If we're talking about SHTF I think I'm going to need something that I don't need to baby. I can beat the crap out of this rifle and it will still work. Bring along a bandoleer and its sling and I'm set.

Cmmg M4LE with red dot sight (Acog) and my G17. Reliable sidearm is a must!

I stand behind my decision...because standing in front of it would hurt too much...

x2 what Stormtrooper said..
In addition, the 5.7x28 is a versatile round that has decent energy (> 2600 ft/s out of a 16" barrel for SS195 with 420ft.pounds of energy, some 5.7x28 loads can put out >2800ft/s and 660 ft.pounds out of a 16" barrel), flat trajectory, low recoil, and little weight penalty. The round can also be used in a handgun.

But it would only hurt for a minute and won't put anything down.I stand behind my decision...because standing in front of it would hurt too much...
Tell that to 12 who were killed by a FN five seven pistol at Fort Hood in Texas.

Tavor with the Mepro optic would be my first choice, Vz58 would be my second. Glock-19 9mm handgun, just because ammo should be readily available...

Two fails right here. The question is "what is your last ditch RIFLE". Both of you selected shotguns.

Ouch...
Ft. Hood was an incredibly tragic way to prove the effectiveness of the 5.7... From my sources in the south, I'm told the mortality numbers would have been significantly higher if it weren't for the near immediate trauma care received by the victims...
This can't be said for the 14 body armor wearing MRTA militants who took hundreds of hostages at the Japanese Embassy in Lima.

Who would pick a rifle over a shotgun for a shtf firearm? It depends on what you consider a rifle as well.... A shotgun with a rifled barrel?
Grouse don't like being shot by rifles too much and deer can't tell the difference between a .30 caliber bullet or a 12 gauge slug.
