Exclamation Just a thought...ammo availability.

I own weapons that use military rounds for 3 reasons...
1. Ammo will be a lot easier to come by in a SHTF scenario
2. Ammo will be a lot easier to come by in a SHTF scenario
3. Ammo will be a lot easier to come by in a SHTF scenario

All I will have to do is get to the knucklehead from the UN that just gave his all and take what he don't need.

Sounds like a plan. Blue helmets should be easy to spot.

Are you thinking Nigerian blue hats with 7.62X51 (or 5.56X45)
OR
Canadian blue hats with 5.56X45
OR
Russian Federation blue hats carrying 5.45X39
OR
Chinese blue hats armed with 5.8x42
OR
(fill in your choice here) blue hats armed with (appropriate caliber here)


You get what I'm thinking?

If you find something in the 5.8 Chinese with a source of ammo let me know. OK? I'd like to give it a try.

My primary hand gun ammo is 9mm. Two reasons, I prefer it and it is a universal cal. All of the the autos that my wife and I have are 9mm except my mouse gun which uses 32 cal. I have a 44 mag. revolver and a 357 mag. which of course can use 38 spl. and my wife carries a 38. Rifle ammo, 223 and 308. and 12 gauge shot gun. All of these are very common. Of course I am always open to adding more and if time will allow I may pick up something in 7.62x39.

The holes are easy--it's those big stains that make one look like an extra from a Romero movie that are most disturbing.

Lots of ways to deal with stains....pick and choose the garments selectively as well.
