"Now what am I gonna do wit all dees guns??"

"
If the 'global' economy continues to tank, I won't regret my substantial investment in the true precious metals: copper, lead, blue & stainless steel, brass.
And my 3 stocks: wood, synthetic and folding.

"It doesn't matter if you pick gun A or gun B. The discussions here on "wutz best?" will never end and I know I won't be the one to end it (hey it can be entertaining). I've been here a while and watched the flames rise on the perfect gun for all situations and I'm going to say it just doesn't matter.

None of you are going to be a one man army because thats only in the movies. Survivors, true survivors will depend on one another. How you work as a group will factor largely into your chances of making it.

Judging by how some of you treat one another here it won't matter what kind of weapon you choose because if you can't be civil to one another here, how will you fit into a group out in the world? A persons temperment, personality and their ability to work as a team matters more than their "weapon of choice" IMO.

Thats why I believe folks with military backgrounds will do well post-Z. They have learned through their training how to work together as a team as opposed to many other occupations where everyone is out for themselves.

Please explain to me where I am wrong in my philosophy."

"I think I made this point a couple of days ago in the knives thread.

What you know is always more important than having "the best"."

"I would definately do the same...now put that educated mind with said firearm and you have someone who's chances or survival just increased greatly."

"Wouldn't it be prudent to brush up on those skills now though while you have the chance? "
