The Top 3 SHTF Guns 

I like the mini 30 a bit more but with the lost of a lot of Surplus 762x39 it's lost some of its characteristics

I’m sure you pity fools, also.

In restrictive countries, it is very sad that the list of options for even those who hold licenses or required documents to get firearms, That many available aren't even semi Automatic. If you are restricted to manual action firearms, Some sort of pump action, box Magazine fed rifle Would be superior to a bolt action if you wish to use it as a defensive weapon. Although even in some places like Russia Rifled weapons are also placed in restrictive categories. Shotguns usually Have less restriction, and with slug ammunition, it can substitute a rifle if needed. It all depends on what is available and what is needed.

@@kiwiincool609 defend against what? This scenario is a fantasy everywhere else

@actionarmoury We can all agree that warfare and violence is the natural state of humanity. We live in very comfortable times at least in first world nations. Conflict, though even in times like this are inevitable. For whatever reason or even non reason is wanted. Man will rise against his brother and his brother against him etc. Modern states with modern technology can do a very decent job of repelling these unsavory things if they want to compared to their ancient Grandfather's. Still Its main interest is not in the preservation of even its people, but of itself even if it has no people to rule over. all its major resources will be used to defend itself rather than you, the people. as much as things have changed with our new modern powerful states and governments. Ultimately, the individual must still look out for himself and whatever people he cares for.

No. Because everyone is carrying real ak's that have been through 40 or 50 years of war. Run FA Because its an ak and thats what they do everywhere else that has them. As for the places without any firearms in the public. That is the consequence of humans having no idea what rights are. Which is what is happening here due to the 99.5% that have no clue. Probably including you.

​@@kiwiincool609You should study those countries. They all have one common theme. The majority of the people there first have no idea what rights are. Second put breathing above living. Third fear their governments
