If you had to choose only one weapon from each category, assuming your life depended on it and the world went to hell, which would you choose?

The categories:

  1. Pistol
  2. Sub-machine gun
  3. Assault/Battle rifle
  4. Heavy machine gun
  5. Sniper rifle
  6. Shotgun
  7. Special Purpose

Here's my list:
  1. FNP 45 Tactical (.45 ACP)
  2. HK MP7 (4.7 x 30mm)
  3. Remington ACR (6.8 SPC)
  4. M2 Browning (.50 BMG)
  5. Barrett MRAD (.338 Lapua)
  6. MPS AA-12 (12 Gauge)
  7. ATK MK19 MOD-3 (40MM Grenade)
 
1. HK USP 9MM
2. HK MP5A2N
3. HK G36C
4. RPK
5. KAC SR-25
6. Mossberg 590A1
7. A pistol crossbow

The categories:

Pistol Glock .40 or .45
Sub-machine gun see below
Assault/Battle rifle Full Auto AKM
Heavy machine gun sounds like fun, but no thanks
Sniper rifle Savage 110 .338/Leupold 4x16
Shotgun NFA Mossber 930 14 1/2"w/choke tubes
Special Purpose Hell I don't know... RPG's or MK19?
 
When SHTF, I'd want to keep it simple.
Too many guns and other supportive stuff would probably have be abandoned.
If it's war, then one semi auto AR type in .308.
And one larger caliber high capacity pistol, something easy to find parts for.
If it was more survival, then a lever action rifle with a revolver in the same caliber.
Like .44 Mag.
No mags to lose.
And probably a pump 12 gauge, too.
That's all.
 
I tend to agree with g.willikers, travel light and keep it simple, my M1A Scout (VLTOR Modstock on the way) and Colt 1911 would be my go to's and I would hope Id have a buddy to carry my AK74 clone and Mossberg 590A1.

However my picks from each category would be as follows-

Pistol- Colt 1911 .45
SMG- UMP45
Battle Rifle- M1A EBR
HMG- Ma Deuce (would've picked an M60E4 LMG but the M2 is pretty much the king of Heavy MGs)
Sniper- McMillan TAC50
Shotgun- Mossberg 590A1
Special Purpose- Mk32 6 shot 40mm grenade launcher (Mk19 is heavy and a jammomatic)

Edit- forgot shotgun

Getting more into the employment of said weapons systems I would want a vehicle mounted fireteam. The Ma Deuce would have to be Vic mounted to be worth it's weight, the persons with the Sniper rifle and Grenade launcher would have to have sidearms (whenever we patrolled with the Mk32 that person always had an M9). The shotgun would stay in the truck unless a door needed to be breached and the UMP would be used by the Ma Deuce operator since that person would spend most of his time in the truck.

Heavy machine gun--M2 HB
Sniper rifle--Off the shelf--Winchester M70 in .308.
Shotgun--Winchester 1300, with rifle sights
Special Purpose--heck, I don't know...!
 
Pistol - Sig X-Five (I'll find a way to CC it)
Sub-machine gun - Tommy Gun, West Hurley production, Delux
Assault/Battle rifle - Sig AMT
Heavy machine gun - I don't need one, but I'll take a full auto Sig 550 instead
Sniper rifle - Custom Remington 700 in 300 WM
Shotgun - USAS-12

Heavy MG - RPK
Sniper - Ruger m77 30-06
Shotgun - Remington 870 Tactical
Special - De Lisle Carbine seems pretty good to me.
 
Single shot 22 caliber rifle with 22 shorts loaded for quiet lethality. I will pick and choose from the remains of all the Rambo's so I won't know whats available till they kill each other off.

Keeping quiet, head low and butt lower makes more sense then carrying enough weapons to arm an infantry squad.
 
When SHTF, I'd want to keep it simple.
Too many guns and other supportive stuff would probably have be abandoned.
If it's war, then one semi auto AR type in .308.
And one larger caliber high capacity pistol, something easy to find parts for.
If it was more survival, then a lever action rifle with a revolver in the same caliber.
Like .44 Mag.
No mags to lose.
And probably a pump 12 gauge, too.
That's all.

Same philosophy... I'd add a .22LR in the survival situation.
 
Given that you set this up as a world-gone-to-hell, no access to parts, repairs, or new guns question, my picks focus on availability, reliability, and usefulness.

The categories:

Pistol
Sub-machine gun
Assault/Battle rifle
Heavy machine gun
Sniper rifle
Shotgun
Special Purpose


Here's my list:

Beretta 92A1 (9x19mm)
HK MP5 (9x19mm)
M4 Carbine (5.56x45mm & .223 Remington)
M2 Browning (.50 BMG)
M40 [Accurized Remington Model 700] (.308 Winchester)
Remington 870 Marine Magnum [Nickel-Plated] (12 Gauge)
Ruger 10/22 All-Weather Stainless

Forced to go on the run, I'd take the Beretta 92 and the 10/22.

Forced to pick a single one, I'd pick the 10/22 and a handful of BX-25 magazines.
