Do you have anything prepared in the event of a massive emergency? - Please be serious

[neogafrefugeenumber44634]

I think YOU might be better off with just the salt.

No those things are important if you are a gun owner especially if you collect antique guns that are still capable of being fired. 8mm Nanbu or 9mm Largo are not things one can pick up at the gunshop since no manufactorer does anything but a small batch every few years.

 

[Dr. Boe Jangles Esq.]

It takes often a year for the spring to get bad from having rounds stored in the mag. Its why you are recommended to once a year go to the range and use your carry handgun or home defense gun if it is mag feed.

Oh revolvers don't leave the bullets in there for years. Gunsmiths will tell you of the guns that rusted from the owners leaving the bullets in the revolver for years and not oiling the gun every year or two.

I don't know what the hell you people are doing, but I take mine to the range at least once a month or so.
Never had a round in there long enough to rust. I do clean and oil them regularly, but if I had something I used so infrequently that it was in danger of that, I'd probably sell it, because clearly you're not getting your money's worth out of it.

 

[Jaimas]

They are, in fact. I have a few different revolvers and a Kel-Tec KSG.
I'm not a huge fan of semiautomatics. Too temperamental.

Can't go wrong with a weapon that will never fucking jam.

Revolvers can jam if the timing is off or debris gets in there from either firing without cleaning or from the great outdoors. Its way less then a semi but never say never when it comes to gun malfunction.

Lots of people buy a gun for homedefense and then go home, load it, put it in the nightstand or closet. They never go to the range to practice with it to either learn how it works, feels, learn how to use it, as well in break the gun and find out what ammo it likes.

 

[Carlos Thin]

Got a small toolkit, a first aid kit, a bike, a couple of reasonable knifes, camping equipment and my trusty scouts handbook

Spoiler

I'll be the first to go

 

[FemalePresident]

What kind of emergency? Anyway, my first aid kit is terrible and I only have a kitchen knife.

 

[Muttnik]

I have a first aid kit and that's about it. Honestly, I'd gladly just lay down and die. Better that than going on without any hope of things ever returning to normal in the midst of a world-changing disaster.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

A jar of peanut butter a stack of exotic porno magazines and a swiss army knife missing its tweezers and pick. I also have brass knuckles.

Take me on faggots.

If you aren't doing proper periodic maintenance on any firearm, you're fucking doing it wrong.

 

[POWER IN MISERY]

i have a gun

 

[Pina Colada]

Toiletry bag, first aid kit, 2 portable cell phone chargers, Swiss Army knife, non-perishable food, water for drinking, bathing, and emergencies (both in packs of bottles and jugs); hurricane candles, lighters, flashlights, bicycle, medical and insurance papers, jewelry, hand-crank radio, batteries, blankets, and trash bags.

Hell, it probably wouldn't hurt to save up for a gun and take some shooting lessons.

 

[Randy Lahey]

I found a pointy stick

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

Bugout bag. I keep it in the closet.
Got dried food, water bottles, bandages, sutures, painkillers, matches, led flashlight, batteries, blankets (the super compact ones), pocket saw, road flares, map of the city, monocular, and a few of those giant glowsticks you get at military surplus stores.

I keep it next to the gun safe, and I keep the guns loaded, so ideally in case of an emergency, I could be equipped and out in under a minute.

Is it bad that I read 'led fleshlight'? I mean, be prepared and all...

 

[Florence]

Pretty much nothing execpt my Ka-Bar. The attitude to almost all disasters over here is essentially “Unless the government says so, you’re going to die.”, after all — I don’t think we even have a FEMA equivalent.

What will they do when the Nambians invade?

 

[oldTireWater]

Eh, I think you'll find LED's add nothing functionally. Most preppers prefer to buy base models, or build their own. I'm told a serviceable fleshlight can be cast from lead, and powered with smokeless powder and a few hundreds of thousands of primers.

 

[Tennis Monkey]

I have prepared pants, in which I will shit and then die.

 

[KickyerArsene]

Leather pants. They'll last you forever.

Mad Max knew.

If I ever move into a bigger place, first things on the list to get are the following.

Equipment for the smelting of lead either raw or melt the bars. An electric smelter since its easy to pour into the molds but a cast iron pot with lid so you can do it outside on a campfire and ladle cast if there is no electricity. Just gotta make sure the cast iron is marked lead so no one ever prepares food for it.
Equipment for the casting and prep of bullets/shot for reloading.
Equipment for cleaning and salvaging shell cases.
Several thousand pounds of various gun powders for reloading. With the amount being constantly renewed.
Two hundred thousand primers of various calibers plus the book and equipment to make primers if needed. Stash will be constantly refilled.
The equipment to put the primer, gunpowder and bullet into the round.
Several hundred lead bars.
At any given time 100k bullets that can be put into rounds of various calibers.
Shotgun reloading equipment.
Enough parts to make 25 k shotgun shells of various gauges.
15k shotgun shells of various gauges ready to use.
50k factory rounds of various calibers.

The parts and how to guides to make various full auto machine guns from parts you can buy at the hardware store. Yes these books are legit, people have made fully functional machine guns from the instructions.

All right assholes you mind telling me why you think that it is dumb to learn how to make your own ammo, guns and list what you need along with numbers to make that not only a plan but that one can be carried?
