why do our soilders seem to be the best in the world?
it's not the kit HMG to tight to spend where needed most.
it's the training you have to train hard to fight easy.
and know how, if you now your weapons then you know what to counter with.
if using a 12 bore get the lowest number with the largest shot remember your not shooting birds where you need a scatter pattern.
and if your shooting a rifle know how far your little .22 round will travel with killing power humans aren't rabbits?
crossbows are brillient can go straight through a car door and into the other side at 40 yards but a hand helded crossbow a waste of time and money would be best of with a catapult.
get a samurai swords (proper one) would be of more use if SHTF cut straight through a crowd.
you need to think which weapons are for your hunting game and which will be to keep you alive
