Worse case scenario you can have 3 guns what would you have. I'm thinking readily available parts accessories and ammo. Also you need to have all of them be versatile and able to carry as many rounds necessary. What do you think.

I'll take:
AR platform rifle 300BLK or 556
12 ga Pump Shotty
9mm Pistol

Hard to narrow it down to three... I guess that's the point.

The roles I'd like to fill would be small game hunting, 200 yard or so defense, and concealed carry. Probably a few more things I'm not thinking about too.

I guess that leaves me with my 10/22, an AR rifle in .223, and a 9mm pistol. The shotgun would be incredibly useful too though... and I'm partially basing those choices on the ammo I have on hand.

I don't think I'd find much use for a 12ga. pump in a SHTF scenario. I'd have to say 9mm pistol (double stack), 9mm SBR and AR 5.56 (with a .22 conversion).

Can't we narrow it down to a more realistic number of guns? Like 9, or 13?

Rifle...my Doublestar AR15... Hands down, bar none.
Pistol... Toss up between my G21 or my G17, I plan on putting a RMR on the G21 soon, and I use it shoot 3 gun... But 9mm is so common...
3rd gun... IDK... I'm thinking a 10/22 semi auto, small cal. & hunt and self defense rifle all in one.

I'd really want to be able to shoot birds on the wing in a shtf situation, so:

Franchi 20 gauge auto
Ruger 22 pistol
My lightweight AR

I think a silenced .22 rifle would do nicely. FVSR

AR in 5.56

1911 in 10mm. Just because.
