Hypothetical Question. You can own one firearm only. What would it be????

[gglass]

This...



There is an ammo type for any situation, and could even be consealed if absolutely necessary.

3 shots from the hip, at 25 yards, without aiming via front bead...

 

[MTC]

Hypothetical question. New law is passed. In exchange for NFA being repealed, you can only have one firearm.......

This again? Only one? Bzzzt! No deal.
OK. It's only hypothetical.

What would you choose and why???

Me??? A select fire SBR (10"-12") M4 with a can. Inexpensive ammo, can take anything up to deer sized critters, good for self defence. Adjustable stock and removal of the can leaves you a fairly light weight, small, compact weapon. Can reach out to 400-500 yards to reach out and touch someone.

What's your choice???

Similar to your choice, and for the same reasons. Except it would be a select-fire M16 SPR in something more like a Mk12 Mod1 configuration. (longer barrel and sight radius)
H&K G3 and select-fire AK47 will also do nicely, and I'll keep them in reserve in case someone finds out I "cheated" on the "exchange" and got more than one firearm <gasp> and decides to try to come and take 'em.

Guns are just hand tools or golf clubs. Am I living in say rural Decatur County, or downtown Indianapolis? What's my sit-ee-a-shun?

Either way, you'll need something big enough to take down a charging rhino.

I'll keep my 686. Nfa stuff or not, it's the perfect gun.

Only one gun because the government wants all of the rest...but no limit on what it might be. Well, in this particular land of lunacy I guess mine would have to be an LGM-30 Minuteman III with a 500Kt warhead.

If not allowed missiles maybe a Ma Deuce with every last penny spent on ammo.

 

[Thor]

In a more reasonable world where I could only have one for some other reason than tyranny, maybe an M2 Carbine. Selective fire, 357Mag+ performance, small and light package. It may not defend long range but around the house, in the woods, out to 300yds it would be just fine; and that selective fire switch means I could be out of loaded magazines in no time flat.

 

[6mm Shoot]

Only one gun? That is sick. I don't know, maybe my 44mag. I have three. The 4" would be best for all around. Then the 8 3/8 would be the best for long range.

Also a shotgun could work. It can do the 100 yards with slugs in a rifled barrel then a smooth barrel for small game and birds.

If we are allowed to have more than one barrel. I could pick out the best lower I have and keep all the uppers I have, 5.56, 6mmx45 and 6.5 Grendel (The one I am building now). Add a 45 upper and I would be good to go. Still it would be only one gun according to the government. No, I can't do this one gun thing. Just to many toys to play with.

 

[jlutzcurtis]

Any latest gun that's way too expensive and destructive then any other guns.

 

[GNRPowdeR]

A full auto AR-15 in the Wyndam/Hydra config. Since by definition only the lower is considered a firearm, My ONE firearm would fire 556, 9mm, and 7.62.

in the 10" - 12" range AND add cans for each

 

[Bigtanker]

All I'd need would be this. I'd just aim for the ear canal.

 

[Stang51d]

A tank.

Just st an operational tank.

Dont need any self defense, who messes with a guy in a tank? Don't need to hunt in a shtf situation, people will be offering you food and stuff for a ride in your tank.

You just can't go wrong with a tank.

 

[inchrisin]

I didn't choose the S&W 60. It chose me.

 

[JEDenny]

I choose “Old Faithful”. My unmolested Colt SP-1 shorty. She has never let me down.

 

[Birds Away]

Great, SAM. You ask a hypothetical question and people are lighting torches and grabbing pitchforks.

I have been on INGO long enough that I can predict the responses from some folks.....Don't care personally, it's just the internet....

 

[Snapdragon]

I would have to say something versatile enough for carry and home defense. As others have said, not the optimal situation, but probably a large-capacity handgun like my CZ 75b Omega.

 

[STEEL CORE]

My M-4 with it I get other guns I need.

 

[Skyhawk]

My Colt Combat Commander always dependable always effective

Now I have to read the entire thread and see if it is the usual suspects.......

People who are choosing non-NFA guns are missing the point of the exercise here.

For me:
SCAR 17, select fire, SBR, with a can on the end.

I'm not missing anything. Question asked and answered.
