You bought the wrong SHTF gun

What will we use for self defense now? A sharp stick? Harsh Language??

.50 Caliber muzzleloader.

It shoots anything you can stuff in the barrel (the Confederates were shooting nails near the end of the war).

It puts big holes in people.

Gun powder can be made with charcoal (15%), potassium nitrate (75%), and sulfur(10%).

Hey Mythbusters tried that when they did the Star Trek bamboo GORN Cannon it just fizzeled. Had to use real BP then they blew up Captain KIRK instead of the GORN.

Great, Just when i think I have everything down. Now new info to consider......

How about a GORN Gun for SHTF???

Just for the record, a big chunk of the original post was originally written by Marko Kloos, author and blogger.

butchering a whole herd of holy cows. the munchkin wrangler.

This piece, plus his essay "Why the Gun is Civilization" are often reposted on gun boards without crediting the original author. Which I guess is kind of a back handed compliment, since you have to write something pretty brilliant for it to go so viral.

More good stuff from Marko here.

Well, now I'm inspired to invent the "perfect" caliber using the wisdom contained in the OP.

 

[Gray Squirrel]

I don't get it.Could you go into more detail please?

I thought it was so good I posted it on another forum and got banned for plagiarism for a week.
The mod could have made it a year (or 30) 'cause I'm done with that place.
Heck. half the people on the site thought it was serious.
That's why this is my go-to forum.

Sounds like the new mod style at THR to me Try the .us site it's WAY better for now At least 'till Oleg gets .org back.

You didn't mention anything about a co2 bb gun. would that be a real shtf piece?

 

[indianajoe]

Phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.

[PatriotPride]

Just had to bump this again.

Any good SHTF gun is no good unless you have plenty of ammo & mags to go along with it. Buy it cheap and stack it deep! Or roll your own.

"...and it's a high fly ball to deep center field - going...going...gone!"

 

[EvilElmo]

I'm building a catapult to hurl all my worthless firearms and ammo at the hoards of attackers after SHTF. (I didn't see catapult on the list so I should be OK).

Why is it human nature to tell the other guy he is wrong? Just because you think someone else is wrong does that make you right? That only works with wives, I know my wife is always right (or so I am told ..... by her).

Your catapult sucks. Everyone knows you should use a trebuchet!

 

[SavageEagle]

NICE. I even got a passing mention. I guess I'm junior.


.50 Desert Eagle - The Magnum of the new century. Realizing Hollywood couldn't escape their Magnum fetishes, they had a handgun that fits the same stopping power quota of .44 Magnum and all of its filthy drawbacks. Popular amongst steroid filled movie actors who needs big guns to compensate for the steroid struck testicles. Comes in a baby variant for junior.

So........what is the right gun?

It can be none other than...

The Golden Gun.

Thanks!

 

[dukeboy_318]

Wow,I guess the only logical choice according to this author would be a m134 hehe

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Isn't this Marko's? Shouldn't we credit the author?
