One gun question
Here in Finland on similar page than this, is going on an conversation about the case that if the world should fall apart,what would be the one gun a man should have?
Many people has recommended pistol or revolver like .357mag or .44 mag,but is rifle/shotgun more preferrable on scenario like that?
The law here don't allow to hunt with handguns (pistol or revolver) in her,so there is no knowledge about how they will work for hunting.
So i'd like to know what you think about it?

RE: One gun question
You'll get a ton of different opinions. I'd probably take a 12 gauge shotgun. It would be great for taking game with the appropriate slugs or shot and it's a pretty good defense weapon as well.

RE: One gun question
It seem's that opinion turns to 12 gauge.I'd bet on longarms myself,but on that page about 50% of folks say for some reason that their choise would be a handgun.Maybe it's experiences on shooting range,that you can hit just about anything with revolver.And my quess is that many of them are not hunters.
But i'd like to thank everyone who bothered to answer to my question.

RE: One gun question
12 ga would be my choice . Slugs for bigger game ,birdshot for small game and Buckshot for the crowds . Works for me <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>
