I think Sava's actually right about this one. The people who would do really well in a "post apocalyptic" scenario are those that are able to form large cooperative groups with collective security, not individual gun nuts running around in the woods half naked with an REI water filter in one hand and an SBR'd silenced AR-15 with an illegal full-auto mod and a $700 reflex sight in the other.

In loinburger's hypothetical guns vs. bows argument though, guns win out handily because as a practical matter a .22 rifle can kill all small to medium game if you aim for the head, and you can buy that stuff in 500 round boxes for $30-40 (used to be more like $20 but then sandy hook happened). So you could buy a lifetime supply of hunting ammo for your .22 for a pretty reasonable sum and never worry about running out.

Doesn't matter how good of a shot you are - if you're a perfect shot and you kill a squirrel with one bullet and you kill a cannibal with another bullet then you've still used twice as many bullets as you would had you not had to kill the cannibal. And if post-apocalyptic fiction is any indication, there are going to be a lot of cannibals (or mutants or zombies etc). (You could try to save ammunition by eating the cannibal, but that's just asking to catch kuru or hepatitis or whatever; this may not even be an option with a mutant and is almost certainly not an option with a zombie)<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures </p>
