I'll take my AR and G19. There will be spare parts available nearly everywhere.

For war, me too.

For a SHTF fantasy, sometimes it’s nice to be able to conceal a weapon.

A lightweight AR15 with an Acog or other optic that doesn’t depend on batteries and handgun in a common caliber (.45, 9mm or .357).

The OP edited the thread title and his original post.

It said “go to war”

I’m not sure if “edited at” doesn’t show anymore or if it doesn’t show on mobile.

Sr15 mod 2 14.5"

Glock 19

Normally would choose 11.5" mod 2 but if it was truly end of the world I'd probably want the longer kac gas system

No confusion. You completely changed the scenario and made no note of it. That completely changes my answer. If you’re going to do this make a “ETA” note in the OP.

A suppressed, subsonic pistol would be very useful in. SHTF scenario. A concealable firearm is very useful whereas in war it is nigh irrelevant.

SHTF suggests more self reliance whereas war is the ultimate team sport back by the logistics muscle of a nation state.

If I had to choose it’d be an AR of approx 16 in length with an acog and my G19.

As stated before, as a card carrying 11B CIB, a pistol is only needed to help fight my way to a rifle. I’d rather have more mags and ammo for my rifle

Why rifle/pistol combo?

Why not an SBR in 5.56 and a long range rifle in 308/6.5/.50

My Galil Ace .308 rifle and NHC 10mm 1911 pistol. The Galil in .308 will out shoot, out last, and remain reliable a lot longer than any AR15 rifle. Especially since Op says no spare parts, which I guess also means no cleaning equipment either?

So, you're going to manufacture more 5.56 ammunition with that tomahawk?

And wrong................, pistols are for transitioning to when your rifle runs out of ammunition and you are continuing to face multiple imminent threats. At least that's what I'll be doing while you're lying dead because you didn't know that and found it out about the time your rifle ran out of ammo. Should have learned what transitioning to pistol means.

what the actual fuck are all those things?!

My choice is surpressed 300BO SBR with 1-4 trijicon and o light. it's what I keep next to the bed and I'm comfy with it for anything inside 200 yards, decent past that. can shoot quietly if needed, too.

pistol will be a springfield armory LBO with TLR HL. 10 round mags, 2 more on belt. one rifle mag. need to get a holster. and belt, and mag holders...

Ive got three different 16” AR’s with some sort of RDS (Trijicon MRO, Aimpoint PRO, or an MTAC). Chest rig with 8 mags, trauma kit, etc. Glock 19 and spare mags.

Haven’t thought about a shotgun in a while, I guess looking how big a box of 25 12-ga shells is, and comparing how much 5.56 ammo can fit in the same space has made them irrelevant. I still have a Rem 1100, Winchester 97 riot gun and a coach gun in the safe but they’re not what I’d grab first.

Given age, hips and knees my primary strategy is avoid contact and survive. The survival element would revolve heavily around "eat". My militia role would probably be sentry/logistics/mechanic.

I'd carry a Browning BPS with a light, side saddle, sling and spare rifled barrel, and a carefully selected assortment of shells. Small game and deer is what's for dinner, but a rifled slug is a powerful deterrent out to the distances I can still clearly see.

Probably carry the P938 and one spare mag in the prison wallet, which is going to come as a nasty surprise to the people who take me captive...about the only situation where I can imagine needing it.
