RE: Is it really Bows or Guns??
I look at it from a different viewpoint. Ignoring the FAC/SGC and on Plods radar arguement. This is the order I acquired tools and why. Priority Food then defence for me. If I can't eat there is nothing to defend but I live cose to where I can hunt..
Snares and traps. The most efficient way to capture food animals.
Air rifle. For the same sortof prey but outside your local area. Point and shoot anyone can use.
.22 LR. As above but longer range.
Shotgun. As above but larger prey and primary defence weapon. If you only buy one defence weapon this should be it.
Crossbow. Fits in same area a .22LR but for larger prey includung defence. Broadheads as reqd.
Bows. As crossbow but not as easy to use. Broadheads as reqd.
Larger calibre rifles. For larger prey and for longer range defence.
Plasma rifle in the 40-watt range. For serious work.
If I lived in town and couldn't hunt then for home defence.
9mm with suppressor. Intimidating and silent.
Croosbow. For silence. Broadheads as reqd.
Bow for longer distance. Broadheads as reqd.
Shotgun for larger groups. None of our wimpy 3 cart versions or birdshot ammo.
9mm MP5 type SMG.
They don't sell all of these at your local shop so you need to shop around and remember OPSEC.
