Randomguy Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted December 29, 2014 I just read another couple "EMP's destroyed the grid" books. The one factor that leads to survival in these scenarios is gun ownership. The greater the firepower you have, the greater likelihood of survival.

Road Runner Posted December 29, 2014 Share #10 Posted December 29, 2014 I guess the armed people can prey on the unarmed people for awhile. No ammo needed unless the unarmed people fight back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrAzY Posted December 29, 2014 Share #11 Posted December 29, 2014 as it will breakdown in Real life also... people in the city will try to get everything they can to survive for a few day, and by the time they are ready to spread out towards the outer city, I will have already been gone with my kids and family. The one thing I have learnt in the survival classes is, only carry what you truly need. anything else is just a waste and will get you killed.

KrAzY Posted December 29, 2014 Share #14 Posted December 29, 2014 to get by for a few days you will only need a few items: Shelter Water high carb food ( the higher the carb, the less of it your have to carry) There are a lot of things that grow in nature you can eat that you never thought about before. transportation (go away from the masses of people.. ) Just remember the rules of three three minutes without air three hours without shelter three days without water three weeks without food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share #29 Posted December 29, 2014 So what is the best gun for a survival situation? It must be idiot-proof, ultra-reliable, easy to find ammo, have the ability to fit with a night-vision scope and a suppressor, be light and deadly.
