My SHTF rifle is my rem 700 in 270. It takes me about 10minutes to get in the mtns and then it is a shot that a bolt gun can handle. pistol is my G23, my wife will carry a 629 and her rifle will be a marlin 45/70. Of course we will liberate a few automatic weapons along the way (hopefully).
Well sheesh! I dunno. It depends on what flavor S actually HTF. Enemy paratroopers-well, I'd probably break out the Rem. 700 Sendero 300WM and start popping skulls midair. If close-in, probably my G30. Somewhere in the middle, I've got a nice Benelli Nova to use as a stop-gap. Of course, the National Guard armory is about 100 yards away from my residence so maybe I'll just head over there and see what they have to offer.

An AK, most likely, and my Gucci go-faster boots.
My SHTF weapon would be a pack of baby wipes the quilted ones they are much more absorbent. If the fan blades are removable then wash them in the sink with hot soppy water. Sanitize with Lysol when finished. To prevent a SHTF situation in the first place, remove your fans from the bathroom. This question comes up a lot here. I don’t understand why it seems pretty obvious.
