Quoted: It’s Sunday morning and the enemy has secretly landed and taken over. You mission is as follows. Don’t fuck this up. One rifle, in one configuration, with one optic, to do it all. That means no offset dots recce bros! You’re traveling through suburban neighborhoods then making your way to a vast forest on the way to the radio free America forward operating base. The entire way is crawling with Russian North Korean Chinese National globalist. You may engage in heavy battles or you may sneak your way through, you’re not really sure. Choose your weapon carefully patriot. No contest, I'd take my franken-AR. It's a 16" build with a Superior Barrels "lightweight" profile .223 Wylde chamber, harris bipod, PDW stock, and a TA33-8. Not much I can't do with that rifle. Honestly though, against most of those countries, I'd just wait until dark to put on my PVS7's and walk out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You may or may not be able to slip away unnoticed…….. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I'm back and forth on this. On the one hand, I've got a recon-ish 5.56 midlength with a 1.15-4 LPVO, which I've spent a lot of time training with. As long as the hordes of Russians can wait until my can gets out of jail, I should be set. On the other hand, for something like this where i'm running alone, the logic from Tunnel in the Sky of taking nothing and avoiding contact seems to keep creeping in. You may or may not be able to slip away unnoticed…….. If you're out playing alone, you'd better hope to not be noticed. You're not going to Ghost Recon thirty Russians in an abandoned castle all by your lonesome. Don't look at me. Take it up with the OP. He wrote it. |

I'm going to contrast this with what I am seeing overseas right now, since they are doing their own Red Dawn thing.
Firstly, you have to bug out. Your house has been shelled, your supplies are gone, and the city is under attack. Secondly, there are no friendlies, per se. Rooskies on one side, and the Neo Nazi criminal element on the other. Shit sandwich. Point in your favor. They are all spread a little thin. Most you might encounter is two, maybe three. They may or may not have a heavy vehicle, but you're not attacking that. You are waiting for them to dismount. Your cheap ass vortex magnifier is toast, good thing you have that lifetime warranty, right? You need this to survive.  Attached FileYou have to hide it.  Attached FileMost of this stuff will disappear into a backpack, or under a coat. SBR would not be my first choice, but I am not staying to fight. Trying to get to safety, maybe to the mountains.

I'm having a hard time thinking of why I'm bugging out. But even if I do, what I take would depend on the threat. Wife and kids are my first concern....and where are we going? Are we driving or walking? Are we fighting another country or is this some terrorist attack? Also, are we picking from what I have, or can I pick anything?

Game time decision between the BCM MK2 BFH 11.5" Carbine, the BCM MK2 BFH 14.5" Mid Length (ELW) setup as a recce rifle with a LPVO, or the 10.3" Colt Monolithic LE6945CK. The Colt's a heavy bastard, and I wouldn't be super excited about having a shit ton of picatinny rails tearing shit up, and getting caught on everything.
 An AK might not be a bad choice considering all the loaded magazines I'd be able to pick up along the way. There's also the PSAV-9 with the benefit of being able to carry twice as much ammo. The PSA KS-47 might be the best choice with all the benefits of the AR platform, and the added benefit of being able to use pick up AK magazines. I'll undoubtedly be killed standing in front of my safes trying to decide which rifle to grab, or in front of my closet trying to decide which camo pattern to wear. Whoever shoots me in the back will feel like they won the lottery when they start going through all my shit.

Quoted: 16" 5.56 AR with LPVO. If you have to do everything, it will do everything, just not QCB as well. And I'll be bringing a .22lr conversion kit so I can carry a ton more ammo for subsistence hunting. Interesting, but a mag of subsonic 5.56 would take up less room and do the same thing. I'd go with my primary AR. 16" PSA pencil barrel upper on a KP15, Leupold 2.5x20, Streamlight Polytac and a sling. Since my escape will be more of a hobble the light weight is nice. I want to get the latching rear plate from KE and stick some stuff in there. Attached FileSecond choice would be either my unfinished lightweight DMR with a 2-10 or my .44 Henry for style points.

I use my General Purpose build AR15, which is a BCM 16" MCMR upper and lower with the mid length gas system and hammer forged barrel.
It uses a Steiner P4xi LPVO with an offset Aimpoint T1. I also have a Steiner DBAL A3 on it and Surefire M300V. The Steiner P4xi is a good LPVO, it's rugged and if I did run out of batteries in the field it's still real nice to use even with just daylight conditions. The Aimpoint runs for years, but if that got taken down due to EMP or something I'd still have the LPVO to work with I just couldn't practically passively aim with Night Vision, but if all electronics were taken down my PVS14 probably isn't working anyways. I don't like ACOGs, the eye relief on them sucks IMO. Otherwise, they'd make a good SHTF optic, but I can't get past that shitty eye relief. Red dots are fine, but magnifiers add weight and without them my 44 year old eyes aren't super sharp at distance anymore. The LPVO is a good to go option in my humble opinion even if they're not as rugged as an ACOG. In terms of barrel length, I think 16" is a good OAL for field and urban. It does leave some want when it comes to tight quarters and vehicle ops, but there is a trade off for everything. I think having an AR is the way to go. One of the biggest issues in a conflict and I think we're going to see in the AARs from the Ukrainians and Russians is IFF. A person's weapon is a real easy way to identify them as friend or foe when a lot of people may have very similar camo uniforms on. Plus, being unbale to predict what invading force will be using (will it be Chinese, Russian, someone else) I don't think you can depend on one type of enemy weapon for resupply so your next best bet is what is most common domestically. |
