The Firearms Blog recently asked readers "which one rifle, shotgun and pistol you’d take with you in an emergency." The results were sort of interesting.
The top rifle (29.5%) was the AK platform in one caliber or another, followed closely (25%) for those opting for an AR of some sort; the Mosin Nagant was a distant third at 7%. The top caliber (34%) was the 5.56 mm, followed somewhat distantly by the 7.62x39 (25%). Interestingly, 7.62x54R narrowly beat out 7.62 NATO (7% to 6.5%). 3% wanted the 5.45x39.
The top handgun was a Glock (50%). Only 13% would have chosen a 1911. 50% would also opt for 9mm for the caliber. The .45 ACP trailed significantly at 26%.
The favorite shotgun was the Mossberg 500/590 at 36% with the Remington 870 following close behind at 32%. Apparently every respondent wanted 12 gauge.
