Weapon Of Choice

[dervish]

If the veneer of society dissolved and the world went to shit. What would your weapon of choice be and why?

Used a bottle and nip glass to defend myself before

 

But that was just because I was holding them when I was attacked

 

Don't need weapons

 

Heid and fists usually suffice.

All I needed was my Saturdays

All I needed was my Stanley blade

And all I wanna do

Is slash you.

Anyone remember that little ditty?

Throwing stars. Like Shinobi and with the background music from level 2 where you have to take down a helicopter with throwing stars.

The tongue is mightier than the sword.

 

I'll be using a shoulder mounted rocket launcher though.

[chief_wiggum]

One of these would do me

Point in going to those gun ranges and shooting at the wall?

How else is the kid standing right next to him going to get tinnitus before 12?

 

I reckon I'd go for a wee hatchet. Seen similar used inside Murdos once and have been been a fan since then.

Our English teacher told us about how when he taught in Glasgow there was one lad who went everywhere with a hatchet in side his jacket.

 

That was in Glasgow, just to reiterate.

[dervish]

As Glasgow is indeed a place where 'the veneer of society dissolved and the world went to shit' I think that is perfectly reasonable. Hatchets continued retention should be encouraged.

The problem for surviving a shtf situation is, well there's a few.

 

If you live in a city, food and clean drinking water are out the window. So what do you eat and how do you find access to drinking water?

 

Inner cities will be the worst place to be, regardless of what weapon you have.

 

Next will be the burbs. Less densely populated, but food and water are still going to be hard to acquire.

 

After that you have the rural populations. For them it'll be easier, since they have more of a sense of community... it'll be a while before they start battering each other with their makeshift weapons to get that last carton of Yoplait. But they'll get to that point.

 

The safest place will be the farms. self-sufficient, usually with some guns lying around, and an extended family of ethically ambiguous inbreds who would shoot a trespasser even if society hadn't collapsed. They'll have dogs to alert them, and animals to eat. They'll almost certainly have some way of getting cleanish water too.

 

Your best bet to survive is to team up with like-minded psychos, form a gang and go appropriate what you need from the weak.

 

I'll be joining the Michigan Militia and hiding up a tree in a ghillie suit, with a scoped rifle and a box of cheese and ham sandwiches, waiting for the government to come try to take my guns.

You will be bummed up the ass while I am living a peaceful existence living on Lobster and other delicacies that the low tide provides. Wee hut on the beach and a burning fire.

[looksgoodinred]

the "veneer of society". some would say it's already slipping. but anyway...

 

i'm with Kelt. not literally of course. i'm getting as far away from everyone else as i can. go hide out on my dad's old farm which is some ways from the road, and built with two-foot thick stone walls, thanks to some energetic Scotsmen back in the day. it has a well for fresh water. lots of land about it. throw some animals on there and i'm good to go.

 

as for protection? i'll get myself a few trained shepherds and a shotgun, thanks.

a rifle has better distance, but i'd probably have better chances of hitting what i'm aiming for with a shotgun -- multiple projectiles at one time are in my favour.

As you say, there will be benefits from the collapse of socuety.

Stick a scope on any decent cal rifle and you can pick off scavengers from a couple of hundred yards. Shotguns are 'inside the house' weapons... you don't want to be that close if you can avoid it.

 

Mind you, if you can't kill a critter, could you kill a person?

you make a good point. i'm really really hoping the dogs take care of any interlopers first. let them out and they'll hopefully attack fairly far away from the house (it's a good half-mile drive from the road). but if they got closer, could i kill someone who meant to do me (possibly mortal) harm, unlike a raccoon? you bet.
