Does anyone have favorite air gun for this situation? So far I like the aea harpoon and huben gk1 because of there size and ability to hand pump. The power is good but it would be nice to have more if needed.
Lol I could agree. The aea one also has too many parts required too I think it kinda fits but far from the best choice.Mine would be my HW95. The last thing I would want in that situation would be a China pcp.
The gun it's self not much can go wrong with but you have to depend on charging the cartridges or storing them that way.Mine would be my HW95. The last thing I would want in that situation would be a China pcp.
There is definitely a place. With my gk1 I'd have small game very quick and easy and hand pump it no problem just need pellets. Definitely not the best tool for off grid survival. But I'm looking for the best possible options.1. My 60 pound longbow w/arrows
2. A slingshot
3. A spear
4. A very large machete’
5. A club or baseball bat
6. A Rottweiler!
PCP?
No way Jose’
Lol no i wouldn't recommend buying one specific for that. Of course I have firearms and other tools that could be better. But this is about what you would you use out of what's out there or your collection.Devink wrote -
Favorite pcp air gun for survival off grid bugout ?
It would NOT...be a PCP gun ! Not if I actually wanted to survive much of anything
No, the woods would be fine, most people are too lazy to try to hunt, there would be a huge population drop, mainly have to stay fortified and be able to survive at your own property. You are right there is nowhere to run to, unless you are supe rich with a compound, but even then people turn,especially employees. LolMy 392 or with pump my 3622, either can take small game adequately. And rebuild kits for rifle and pump. Really, no air rifle fits that hypothetical and fantasy need. I would grab a Ruger 1022 and 10 bricks of CCI SV. If ammo were available a .410 pump.

This bug out SHTF stuff is always sort of funny, like, where do people think they are going to go? Not really asking for an answer. If civilization were really to collapse within weeks, after rioters stripped the shelves, the woodlands would be stripped of every squirrel, rabbit, deer within weeks, after that I guess we could then eat each other!

I think a hand pumpable airgun that is powerful and accurate enough for hunting could definitely come in handy. I didn't say it's the best choice.Airgun for survival ? Ridiculous
Do you live somewhere guns are not allowed ?
As far as what real gun I would I grab. It’s not so easy to answer. Feeding yourself? shotgun , 22lr.
Defending against humans ? smaller caliber center fire (mines a mini 14 a little less scary to the NY unknowledgable) , shotgun ( slugs) , 1911 sidearm. You can carry a lifetime of 22lr ammo but.
My first choice would be ride it out in the house.
Like 3Crows said “ where you gonna go” you’re probably not going to have enough lead time to get to your bunkers in the wilderness. Do you really think you can feed yourself and maybe wife and or kids in the wilderness? Your not.
