    That is pretty sad. Is your unit a 2 hp. with spoke wheels?
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    Some people here need to comprehend that there are 2 different mindsets when it comes to guns,
    1) own a gun, know all about it, target shoot, go hunting.
    2) given a gun, sent someplace where people are shooting back at you, trying their damnedest to kill you.
    Two different worlds. Everyone would like to think that they would hold up under those circumstances. Some do, some don't. I know there are a few here that know what I'm talking about.

    Guns are very important in a true survival situation. If trained it will put more meat on the table than any trapper or fisherman consistently. Personally I'd opt for a Browning Buckmark with a 2x scope and a can if I could choose anything. You can easily store and transport copious amounts of 22lr. and you could feed yourself pretty well. With a can you can keep from startling other game as well and avoid attracting much attention.

    If I could have 2 I'd take a Buckmark carbine and pistol, both with cans, a 3-9x on the carbine.

    The Ak is a true engineering masterpiece. The ak74 is my favorite rifle. From a survival standpoint I think a smaller and quieter setup is preferable.

    No expert with them, but I picked up a Chinese AK-47 a few years ago, new in the box. I'd shot SKSs before and found them adequate, for what they are. Noticed with the AK-47, I could hit what I was shooting at if I tapped three shots, but never with one shot. May have been the ammo I was using (Czech Military). This got me to wondering, so I set up a bench and sandbags and discovered that particular AK - with that particular ammo - gave me a pattern of approximately three feet at 30 yards - from a rest, using sandbags.

    I'm sure there was some kind of glitch with this gun/ammo. And, they are very reliable. Never had a misfire. But with that kind of accuracy, I just haven't had much interest in them since.

    Well, if I ever run into a Chinese soldier shooting an AK-47 with Czech ammo from a bench on a sandbag that puppy is mine! I'm pretty sure I can take him.

    You are quite possibly the only person in the world who would have thought to say that. It's what I admire about you, buddy.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    Not another gun thread.

    In a survival situation, whatever I can get my hands on. He ll, bb gun or whatever.

    I think many watch too much tv. 5 guys shooting ak's, hoss, if you are not dead, you have a few angels on your shoulders.

    And ya better get the he ll out of dodge, FAST!


    Movie time.

    I can tell ya that I've killed more rabbits with a stickbow than most have with a shotgun. Now, do I feel confident that I can take out a guy shooting at me with an ak, with my bow and arrow.

    HE LL, NO. YOU FREAK'N CRAZY, WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING, CAN I HAVE SOME?

    Don't sweat it bro. Some people forget what it was like to be young. They think everyone should have the same experiences and ideals that they carry, and if not they try to shove them down your throat. Just live your life and let that crap roll off your back. A lot of people will snap and snarl at you for no reason, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't soak up some of the experience and wisdom here. Besides, if someone doesn't like the gun thread, they can simply not read it. Obviously, there was some interest for there to be multiple posts about not having any interest, right? Either that, or there might possibly be some control issues there somewhere.
