If we want to take that question really literally, we could go with your choice between a shovel and a pitch fork, or maybe a brush for cleaning fan blades.
I really think that people get too caught up with firearms when it comes to SHTF weapons. A good study staff/cane/stick seems like something that would have tons a value.
I wouldn't want to bring a stick to a gun fight.
Though there is way more to surviving a SHTF situation than having guns.
Shotgun. Great for small game on up to the largest in No America with the correct load. I'd probably prefer a pump over other options, but all are good.
Well, you can have your guns too. I'm think along the lines of feral animals. Shoot a dog, and the sound will carry giving away you position. Beating it to death, seems like a better option.
That's what I have right now. A Mossberg 930 with a short barrel and a spare longer barrel. Nice setup. My youngest son in Colorado has my 870 in case I get the urge for pheasants next year. The fastest pump I've ever used is the old Winchester Defender.
Shotguns are like women. Most of them are enjoyable and some are just awesome.

If it's really a SHTF weapon, then a single shot 12ga and a set of caliber adapters would be a good choice.
Coach gun should be twice as good then, eh?
I see that they are now selling longer/rifled versions of their adapters. Wonder about the accuracy of these?
I am really disappointed INGO, We are 34 replies in and no one thinks a solid .22LR rifle is worth having in SHTF times? I would strongly recommend a good .22 rifle. Something like a Henry lever action would allow the use of a wide variety of loads including CCI Quiet which would be good for SHTF hunting.
Wouldn't a trap or two more consistently put food on the table than guns?
