Even though the AR-15 has been discontinued by the military and police, civilians still love it.
SKS
There are many aftermarket upgrades available for the SKS Shtf guns, but some may not be worth it if money is tight. Even though the integrated box magazine works well, aftermarket magazine aren’t as durable and reliable as the fixed box. Preppers who require more rounds should practice reloading, before purchasing an aftermarket mag. This rifle accepts duckbill magazines.
Glock 19
Glock 19 is a great choice. The Glock 19 9mm semiautomatic pistol is light and simple to use. It comes with a high capacity 15-round magazine and can be easily upgraded to a bigger one.

Springfield M14(or FAL STG58 (.308)
There are many things to consider before choosing a shtf gun. First, accuracy is important. FAL isn't as precise as other designs. A FAL isn't as accurate as an AK so it is not necessarily a bad option. If you are trying to brag about your group size, consider other designs.
Tavor, a compact, lightweight, and simple-to-use handgun, is the Tavor
The IWI Tavor is an extremely compact, lightweight, but powerful shtf handgun. Despite its small size, it is designed to function in rugged environments. The Tavor's long-stroke piston operating system and adjustable cylinder above its barrel make it a top choice in rough environments. Its bolt group and barrel are lightweight, allowing it to perform ruthless extraction. It is unlike other handguns in that it doesn't need special tools or maintenance.
It comes with a lifetime guarantee
A lifetime warranty is likely to be included when you purchase a product from a company. But how long will this warranty last? Companies have some flexibility when it comes to drafting warranties. There are no established laws regarding the term lifetime. If a product is still under warranty after five or 10 years, it will most likely have limited coverage. A product with lifetime warranty is more durable and cheaper than one without.
It is affordable
A 22 LR handgun of high quality is a must-have for hunters. The handgun is capable of taking down small game, and it can be used in emergency situations for defense purposes. You can also use this gun to protect your vehicle. It is lightweight, and can hold up to 20 rounds. It can also be used in an emergency to transport inside your car.

While hunting may seem like something that is long gone, it is still popular among the older generation. A recent survey revealed that 68% of baby boomers want to hunt again once they retire. Hunting is a way for them to connect with the natural world and enjoy the outdoors.
For younger generations, however hunting isn’t necessarily a priority. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), only 18% consider themselves to be avid shooters.
FWS has been working hard to preserve America's wilderness places for everyone to enjoy.
In 2014, the agency started the "Wild Lands” initiative to raise awareness about the importance of public lands. This campaign aims to inform people about the importance and encourage people to visit these areas.
Conservation efforts are also encouraged through the Wild Lands Program. FWS and National Rifle Association collaborated to create Project Gunter a youth shooters program. This program teaches kids how to safely handle firearms and helps them develop skills such as marksmanship and safety.
Project Gunter is expanding to include minorities and women. It has resulted in more children learning to shoot guns and taking part in wildlife conservation.
Why is it that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), only estimates that 1% of hunters kill a deer each year?
