    If space and time are finite, what was in that space before it and how long was it there?

    And that is my answer

    I'm good up to 200 to 225 yards or so, any farther out and I'm coming up short. But where I'm at I should be good to go.
    7.62X39 semi auto, 30-30 lever action, 20ga. pump,1 - .22 semi auto rifle, 3 -.22 pistols, 1- revolver and 2- semi auto's.
    Ammo is good for maybe a year if things are bad, after that it's scavage as I can when I need to. Take no prisoners. Need a good silencer.
    Forgot;
    FEG 9X18mm semi auto pistol, Bersa .380 semi auto pistol, Taurus "Spectrum".380 semi auto pistol.

    All weapons are loaded. Unloaded guns are just paper weights or clubs. Counting all magazines I can shoot over 250 rounds with out reloading any thing.

    I knew some of you guys were ridiculous but 20+ cartridges? Geez....I focused on fewer cartridges but more ways to project them. I still want an AR/SBR style pistol for 9MM and 22LR. I think I have enough ways to hurl 22LR otherwise. I am going to finally fill out the paperwork to get my suppressor game started. I'm thinking of getting one of those 12 G that holds an ungodly number of shells but haven't decided which one. I can hurl, 223/556 in a few different methods for now but may get a bolt type as well. My long range will almost assuredly be 6.5 CM but I just like the idea of having a 308 around. I just know I want to buy a nice one and buying two nice ones is out for now.

    20mm will be much cheaper to shoot considering anything good in 40mm requires a stamp for every round.


    Keep a .50 behind the door for home defense.

    I'm trying to figure out what this thread is about. Are we talking SHTF? If not then whatever you like shooting is what you should have. I'll bring a half dozen or more in both handguns and rifles to the range, but it doesn't mean I'll shoot them all. I may think about shooting 50 rounds in a certain gun and 200 rounds later loading up more to shoot. Whatever calibers you enjoy shooting are the ones you may tell yourself you need. Defensively, whatever you shoot well. Everyone is different.
