The old stuck on a deserted island gun question.

[DolphinFan]

Handgun, Glock 19/17
Rifle, AK47
Shotgun 12 gauge breech or pump action, Mossberg, Remington, Winchester, Benelli Take your pick

[sealocan]

^ Yup, I think those are smart choices. Just pick one that you're most familiar with and then try and take good care of it until you get rescued.

[God Bless America]

Whatever Bakofarmer had. DOJ would come to arrest me and take me back with them.

[AragornElessar86]

hmm, I think a 20ga pump action. Simple, reliable, few moving parts means minimal need for lubrication.

I was tempted to say a .22LR bolt or lever gun, but I'm betting on having more birds available to me than ground squirrels, etc, so I went with the scattergun.

[onelonehorseman]

37 mm flare gun for signalling, starting fires, etc. . . . with my cases of rounds that washed up on the beach

rofl Charlie50!

The one gun that could do it all, save for handlin' polars or the grizz... and with 95 cases of Buffalo Bore's "Heavy .44 Special" (250 grain LSWC @ 1000 fps) at my disposal (thank you, seal-O) I would choose to have my stainless 4-5/8" .44 Special Ruger flat top New Model Blackhawk.

I could also plink coconuts, merrily, I might add, for days on end...

[Barbarosa]

If it's deserted why would I need a gun???

[sealocan]

^ Well you could use it for starting fires, signaling



And according to some members you could use it on spiders, snakes, rats, mortgage companies, seagulls, tipping, sharks


... and other things you worry about because you might not understand them.

If the island is inhabited by hostiles or cannibals I'd want a M249.

[mooner760HD]

Pretty sure my choice is a flare gun.

[HighWildFree]

.22lr rifle, because with 95 cases I'd have ammo for some plinking. Plus stopping power ain't an issue, I'll shoot a pig 100 times if need be. I got time.

[stix213]

95 cases of ammo for my V3 Cannon should be useful for signaling for help, or wiping out hostile natives on the neighboring island.

[cannon]

22 bolt rifle. Figure I'll be popping off seabirds for a chicken dinner on a regular basis.

(Really rather have a knife but this ain't CalKnives so...)

[kenl]

A break-open shotgun or, like someone else said, a combo rifle/shotgun. Imho you don't need firepower, you'll need something that's dirt simple that will bring home the meat....if there's any to be had.

...and Maryann would be a bonus
