^ After watching this it seems people are frightened that law and order ends due to the pandemic, that police, militia and military will not be able to keep a state of control, so they all buy weapons to defend themselves against looters, or the next civil war.
Not that i would expect this happening, but – when the situation happens it is a bit late if you did not plan in time. Which is why some prepare for such a situation. I guess in a country where everyone can buy weapons everywhere and anytime it indeed makes sense. @Neal point 1: lol point 2: I think the videos were actually well-made, i probably misunderstood something with the 'cartridge chamber' (Patronenlager, if is this the right word).

I say that if things got that bad, just steal an M14 while scavenging from the remains of a US military base. Or, in your situation Catfish, go for an MG3

^ the MG 42 or "3" has a much too high shot frequency, could not afford the ammo with 1300/min.. I actually have been trained on this, it builds up an insane muzzle heat in a very short time; maybe i will better steal a new "5" then

I wouldn't mind having an M14. Wouldn't mind an AR-10 either. My buddy thinks I would buy one with an upper chambered for .243 Winchester which is a legal hunting round in all 50 states.

August, .308 or 6.5 Creedmore. Power/precision. Educate me.
Looking at this https://ruger.com/products/precisionRifle/models.html |

From what I read statistically the Creedmore is the better round especially if you intend on doing a lot of long range shooting.
Check out this field and stream review: https://www.fieldandstream.com/65-cr...08-winchester/ |

/\ precisely. Unless your a 800-1200 yd. target shooter with reloading mania as I am with the .45-70 in Shiloh Sharps carbine or original 1876 Trapdoor Springfield (infantry), stick with the .308. It has a greater variety of projectile weights(as yet) and is rated at 5000 rounds to the gun barrel's life expectancy whereas the 6.5 mm is half as many rounds for the barrel life: 2500...on a costly $2,000+ Creedmore rifle?? Costs are an issue for any shooter and buying new guns for an already ample arsenal at my age is not worth it. The 6.5 is only slightly more accurate with slightly less shoulder recoil. Both rounds will get the job done for hunting anything in North America at more typical ranges under 500 yards. The Field and Stream side-by-side comparison article I read B4 posting this blog had an Hornady advertising tone in favor of the 6.5mm over the tried and true .308; hence my skepticism.

I'd argue that .22LR, .223 Rem, or Win .308 are probably the most versatile all-around. The .22LR for plinking since it's so cheap to buy, .223 Rem for your coyotes and other farm/ranch predators, and the. 308 for pretty much everything else except grizzlies or moose |
