If You Could Only Have One Gun

Yes, this is another firearms vanity.

The fantasy condition is this:

For whatever reason, you have to choose one firearm to keep.

This assumes that you also have a decent supply of ammunition to go with it.

For purposes of this discussion we will assume that there is no change in current laws. You are limited to one gun by financial circumstances.

I have narrowed my choices down to a handgun, one small enough to conceal. That still leaves a lot of room for consideration.

[LibKill]

Have fun with this one.

I'd be quite happy to keep my AR-15 (or equivalent .223 semi-auto long gun).

Light enough, accurate, and I know it like the back of my hand.

And if the feces ever struck the oscillatory air mover, there'd be plenty of ammo available at the cadavre sporting goods store.

I love Armalite AR10 .308

[LibKill]

AR-15. A good choice. Especially if you live in the country. (I live in a city.)

[chemainus]

Sig P229..... classic....9mm ... penetrates yet packs a wallop...ammo worldwide.... versatile loads.... shoots like a dream... never fails....

Pump action 12 gauge

[LibKill]

AR10. Great, if I could afford one I would have one.

[winner45]

I'd go with a Kimber standard 1911 in good ole .45

[Franz Liebkind]

This has appeared on so many boards. The first and only choice is a .308. Anything less than a .308 is wasting time trying to take down whatever kind of game you're after. .223 is the poodle shooting round.

[LibKill]

Kimber .45.

You can't lose with that gun/cartridge.

[LibKill]

LOL!

[That Poppins Woman]

(1) Phased plasma rifle, in a 40-watt range ;o)

(2) Acoustic cannon

(3) Electromagnetic pulse cannon

(4) Microwave cannon

[Shooter 2.5]

My AR-15 because replacing by the upper receiver I can have anything from a 9MM CAR to a .223 match rifle for Highpower Rifle events.

[DoughtyOne]

Seek help. Grin...

[LibKill]

A Science Fiction fan, like myself.

BZZZZZZZZ! Real weapons please.

[tacticalogic]

Another vote for the 12 ga. pump, since you're limiting yourself to one gun. Key factor is the variety of the available ammunition.

[sargon]

U.S. M21 rifle (it's a scoped, tricked out version of the .308 M14)
