I have one weapon for each principle.
4 total.
One hand gun (It’s a cheap one too!), one scary gun, one shotgun, and one “reach out there” gun.
All are the most popular (Or very popular) calibers of there type.
If all is lost and we are actually killing each other to survive, the equation becomes simple. Win and you collect the spoils, lose and you don't need them.

Just like in video games haha

Guns and ammo are great, but your brain is the most important part. Gotta be several steps ahead of whatever situation you're in. It's hard to have that much brain power on the spot, so the best solution is to plan ahead and have the most likely scenarios and your responses memorized, as well as how to distract and or retreat. Like always, 90% is in the planning.

Never shot one. I’ve shot an m240 and an M2 though. I think we had asbestos gloves to change the barrels back then. Lol.

Never fired Ma' Deuce...probably good I never found one for sale. I couldn't imagine feeding one. M249's are great, but lack the stopping power.

The irony of all this gun talk is...
I just read where the left wing ex.california libtard capital of the world...Santa fe New Mexico is selling out of guns&ammo.
Store are out...Nobody buys guns in ultra liberal Santa fe.
The Governor just signed a very controversial Red flag gun law.
Gonna be interesting to see how all those prius driving,Bernie loving anti gun idiots fare with this...

A typical combat load is less than 10 magazines.
If any of us find ourselves doing endless mag dumps against bad guys...well, that's not how its going to happen.

Bad guys will take cover and conceal themselves, because they don't want to get shot any more than you do...and the fact that they're out hunting for what you have means they're incredibly motivated.

If you think you're gonna hold off multiple attackers, by yourself, with all the ammo in the world, you're fooling yourself.
You can't watch your own 6.
You can't stay awake forever...bad guys just need to wait it out.

It's not even possible for one person to effectively clear a room, let alone setup a secure perimeter.

You will be over-run.

Edit: less than 10 mags, not rounds

I just stopped by are local sportsmas warehouse and the line to buy a gun and background check was 20 deep. They guy at the counter you could tell was not a gun guy, his first question was " what's the most popular right now" the guy behind the counter, already pissed off and frustrated, went and grabbed the most expensive 9mm off the wall and handed it to the guy. The next question was "how do you put the bullets in it?" The next question was "how do you cock it?" FFS

you can't make this shit up. And the funny thing is they are completely out of stock on 9mm rounds..lol Guns in these kind of people's hand is more scary to me then this damn virus..

Probably going to shoot themselves or other family members... Just like the guy that thinks he can do home repair. Buys a skil saw and ends up in the ER with a hand missing.

All one needs is a shotgun. Rack the slide when the bad guys are on the other side of the door, duh. It will scare them and they will run away like little girls. It doesn't even need to be loaded, just the noise will be enough. I doubt it will give away your location and no way will they shoot through the door to take you out.

Oh I totally agree. The idiots I see buying 10,000 rounds of ammunition are comical. Good luck with your “army” cans of ammo you bought and the AR 15 you’ve never shot. Or maybe you put 50 rounds through it up on Bison, but how about crouched behind something. Or laying prone. Or clearing a building? Can you break it down? Have you ever taken it apart? How many times have you disassembled and assembled it? What are gonna do when it jams? Lmao. Good luck with all that. Maybe 20,000 rounds is better.

My mid level AR and my mediocre skills will fuck up most looters. The other guys with the same level of lethality are also smart enough to not go looking for a fight. So I’m good until I run into Joe Badass that was too dumb to prep and he comes looking for supplies. Then I’m fucked.

Worse case a few misses will change most people’s minds anyways lol

You joke, but if you were on the other side of the door what would you do? Criminals always try for an element of surprise. Armed guy inside a locked house that's waiting for them.. Not their cup of tea.

If Froggystyle comes looking for supplies I guess I’m sharing. I was just a regular old Army guy. We were better at playing cards then combat anyhow. I learned how to play spades. Hearts. Euchre (I had to look up the spelling) Canasta, and some other shit I can’t remember. Lol.

Some of you guys really believe you're going to have to shoot people over this?

I highly highly doubt it. It's the last thing anyone wants to do.

On the other hand, If there will be any violence it will be on the streets and at the stores where the supplies are... That's where you need to be strapped if things go south. Minimal chance of someone breaking into your house and robbing you if they know you're there. Unless you have people that really hate you haha.

Me and @Blackmagic94 made a bet last night. He says the Boogaloo is going to jump off before end of April. I actually gave him till the end of 2020. It won't happen. You Bitches don't have the Balls to start shooting. :)

Aww shit is that a challenge!>?!>!>!

ROFL. I want every fucking member of RDP to get some of those "My Name Is" stickers and when the shit finally hits the fan put their RDP Tag on it...so I know who not to shoot..... :p

You fucking assholes will probably all put "GRADS" as a joke and be sorry as fuuuucccckkk......:eek:😈:eek:😈🤘

I’ve debated on whether or not to post this, but what the heck. I have my own opinions about this whole Coronavirus ordeal, and figure I’ll take a beating from some of you, but what the heck.
  • I believe that this strain of the Coronavirus was made in a Chinese laboratory with the primary purpose of eliminating the political uprising that was taking place in Hong Kong.
  • I believe that the virus made its way to the U.S. as far back as early Fall and many of us have already been exposed unknowingly because the symtoms are similar to that of the flu or common cold.
  • Know body really took note of the virus until reporting of outbreaks in other countries began surfacing. These countries however have extreme high density living, high numbers of smokers, high numbers of elderly and lackluster healthcare. For these reasons the outbreaks have been much more significant.
  • It wasn’t until President Trump was acquitted did the MSM start reporting about this new version of the Coronavirus. Call it a coincidence.
  • Soon cases began to pop up on cruise ships and a couple here on the main land. Instantly the MSM lost their minds over the Coronavirus and the first rolls of toilet paper were sold. (I still don’t get the toilet paper thing)
  • Suddenly the NBA suspends its season and because of the extreme American PC culture it only made sense that every other sporting organization follow suit.
  • Then democratic governors like Cuomo (NY) and Newsome (CA) start talking about shutting down schools. Now the sheeple effect is at full throttle and every other local, state, and federal government are following suit.
  • Our country is now being told what to do by democratic governors that are creating hysteria by literally shutting down their States. Our federal government is following their lead in an effort to not look bad, as the MSM has done nothing but criticize the administrations every move.
  • The MSM and democrats have now taken control of the citizens of this country. They have given us no choice but to stop life as we know it. They have taken away most of our ability to make a living. They have created a poop storm in the stock market. They have literally dismantled everything we have built back up over the past few years. When this ends and we are released back into the wild, don’t be surprised if your favorite eatery is no longer there. The unemployment lines will be long and the economic growth will be at a crawl. This financial crisis is going to be massive.

Flame away!!!

Heads will be on pikes at statehouses before the majority of the country submits to any sort of drawn out bullshit.

I have no business being on that side of the door. Now if the bad guys rack a shotgun on the other side of the door to try and scare me (also giving away their location), well, there will be no more front door when I'm done and it would not be from a shotgun. I'll also be pissed because now I have to replace the front door... I have hinge templates but dont have the Templaco Bore Master kit.

Sadly most criminals and would be protectors don't realize that TV and movies are fake as shit...I can shoot your fucking dumb ass just as easily through drywall as paper.....

as well as the hollow door you are hiding behind.

Good luck hitting anything with a mini 14. Maybe if you throw it.
I have one too and honestly you wouldnt wanna be withing 200 yards i guarantee ill hit you with it and not by throwing it.It wont put 5 bullets in a target where a nickel covers all 5 holes like A2 AR does but it will still put all 5 rounds within a 12 inch plate.

I know another boating forum that has been started recently for this exact reason. Thinking it’s time to check that out. Out of respect of this being RDs forum I will not name it. Hopefully we’ll see some of you good guys over there. For you guys think this is a joke I hope your the assholes that get the virus. Anyways signing off for the last time. See you good guys on the river, for the assholes I hope you get the coronavirus and enjoy yourselves with it.

Oh yah Grads I use to hate your ass in the beginning but your grew on me. I think your a funny cat now! Hope to see you on other forum someday. I will still go by 5oclocksomewhere.

Did I really just get called out for a schoolyard brawl? Lol. Meet me behind the handball courts at 3 pm! If those RDP shirts are 3xl I would like to find out where that dumpster is.

Judging by his size, I'd be guessing a 2X...and about a half mile away from where I sit currently.
Not the kind of area you go walking up driveways un-announced ;)

There's always a few guys on whatever forums (or facebook) that can't wait for the opportunity to brings their guns into any conversation. Almost like they're bragging about all the guns and ammo they have. I'm not impressed and honestly couldn't give a shit. I am not a gun hater nor do I think anyone should ever give up their arms (I'm a fellow gun owner), but some of you guys are too much with this shit. Just my opinion.

Out here it just is what it is...most of us have livestock of some type, and coyotes are a major issue. Occasional mountain lion, or rattle snake, but mostly 'yotes.

.17 is all a man needs if he knows how to use it
Honestly, the little 10/22 does well. A lot less disruptive to the neighboring properties as well...those .17's are loud! If it's a larger predator, it depends on how far out to reach it, old Winchester .357 lever is what I'd grab most times. No reason to grab an assault rifle for varmint hunting...not for me anyways.

Re-reading this, I sound like a 70yo farmer...could be worse I guess ;)

It’s pretty evident on this forum. It was also the narrative the President and Fox News was pushing until about 5 days ago. You have a post five posts up from Tom Slick pointing out the narrative. Racey. Regor. And most of the far right crowd in the dungeon are stomping their feet in protest to the “flu”. Wendi posted a right wing conspiracy theory on her FB page this morning. You are the exception to the rule Dave, but you pretty much believe in any doomsday event. How’s the radiation from Japan going? [emoji2957]

If opportunity presents itself, you need to come back to Ca and shoot some squirrels with us ! or looters ?🎱
Nope, did a bonsai run this last Friday night, rolled into San Dimas at 2am. Slept, hung out at my friend's shop, dropped off a car and home again 1am Sunday morning. Too many people for my taste now.

I am surprised 5oclocksomewhere took those jokes that incredibly personally..
