I always thought it was weird that we have so many guns.

Please don't misunderstand, you'll have to remove my guns from my cold dead hands, but how many could I really need?

The liquid gold is the ammo, and I have a FUCKTON!

Yep I know what you mean. In the book Bad Times Primer, he talks about each gun should be standard calibers (easy to find ammo) and have a mission; pistol 0-7 yards, shotgun 3-30 yards, rifle 30-300 yards. As long as you follow those guidelines you're in good shape. Standard calibers 22,38, 380, 9mm, 45 acp, 12ga., 223, 5.56mm 7.62x39 and .308 is a good basic mix.

The submachine gun/SBR role is needed for 50-125 yards in urban combat.

Uncommon but widely used calibers are still a necessity for ammo preservation.
