Now I'm not a believer of the zombie apocalypse or the end of the world, not to say I'm not open to anything and I wouldn't have a plan and be prepared. But what if you're town, city, or country was in a devastating disaster or invasion that could take months or years to recover from or receive help or aid. Now we know that modern firearms will be most effective more so than blackpowder weapons, but in a long term situation where help or aid may be months or years away, you will need to be able hunt and protect yourself. Eventually cartridges and shotgun shells will run out for the average person who only shoots so often, and blackpowder weapons could be an alternative. Blackpowder can be made at home with the right materials and ingredients, and round balls and slugs can be made with a cast and the right lead. Percussion caps would be hard to get, but a flint lock would last. In my opinion the right blackpowder gun could work as a last resort weapon in these types of situations if you were prepared ahead of time. Although with skill a recurve or long bow could be just as effective and faster in some instances. What are any of your thoughts and opinions?
