TSHTF Rifles

This is a subject dear to my heart... and something that I doubt any of us here get tired of talkin' about...

Consequently I decided to share a secret or two...

First of all lets talk about circumstances. Just what is TSHTF? Well... It refers to a moment when the exriment and the oscillitory cooling device meet. Nuclear bomb goes off in the Continental US... Huge natural disaster causes mass public panic... Old Testiment Plagues... dogs and cats.. living together...

Mass Hysteria.

There are two distinctly different types of rifles that you need here....

1) Your duty gun. Think infantry rifle here. You want something reliable... something proven. Something that stops what needs stopped. You want something that you can stick a bayonet on the end of... and you want something you can smash someone's teeth in with. In other words, you want a big heavy usefull rifle. M1's go a long way. the SOCOM-16 is something that I highly recommend... as well as the FN-FAL. Let's face it... someone smashes you in the mouth with the butt of either of those, and you'll wish they'd shot you with it instead.

2) As awesome as those are... there is one more you need. You need a truck gun. This isn't the main defense weapon... no... that's your FN-FAL.. this is the gun that you have in your vehicle, that will help you get home... where your FN-FAL is. It needs to be compact, light, and very shootable. It needs to be in a common caliber in case you need to scavenge.

For this... I give you... The SU-16D. I strongly recommend you take a look. For the money.. you get an awefully useful tool. Folded up under the seat of your truck... it's tucked away comfy.. but always ready to go. Its short... so its easy to whip around inside your vehicle if you should have to. Its in .223.. which is easy to find... you should be able to snatch it off a plethora of dead folks in blue helmets.

Kel-tec is a smart company. They made the gun with a usefull range out to about 300 yards. That's perfect, because outside of 300 yards the .223 is useless anyway. Inside town... where this will be used... you're never gonna be takin' shots like that anyway. That range is plenty.

It's not the gun I'd choose to defend my house with... but it's a gun I may choose to get me to my house. It comes in several different forms... fold stocks.. collapsable stock.. some have built in bi-pods...

Way cool little gun.

Much better than that POS Mini-14.
