I like your ideas and plan to use them for my own adult sons.

there’s no .22lr conversion unit for the travor, as there is for the AR-15.probably no luminous sights, and the triggerpulls of bullpups always suck and cant really be fixed, cause you have such a long operating rod to the trigger, requiring a stiff trigger return spring to drive that rod. The Travor is ridiculously expensive, too.

it’s still not a danger with a .22. you wont hit it at more than 45 degrees from vertical, and at such angles, the bullet wont travel more than 1/4 mile and it wont have any more harm potential than a BB when it falls. Just be where you can SEE what’s what at 1/4 mile in that general direction and there’s nothing to worry about. It’s much much easier to learn this today, with visible in flight airsoft pellets.

yeah, and nothing at all will prevent somebody from slipping up within 300m during the night and sniping you the next day. there wont be any patroling, or you’ll get shot. There wont be anything during daylight hours other than hiding. There can’t be any fires during daylight, no noise, no fire at night unless it’s down in a discrete, Dakota fire pit.

I bet that at least one of them wont bother to comply. The kind of person who’d do all that would already have their own gun.

lets see you make primers, wads and powder. That’s a ridiculous claim. The 12 ga shells are 10 to the lb, you can’t put an efficient silencer for it and it’s not worth a hoot beyond 30m on cover using men. It can’t pierce soft armor, nobody practices nearly enough with $1 per shot slugs to be any good with them (from eiher shoulder, around cover). You can’t conceal it in your pack, even with taken down .You can’t use it waf from prone, or with just one arm. There’s no night sights for it, it doesn’t even have a flashhider. At night, the flash from it will ruin your night-adapted vision for several minutes. There’s zero need to hit birds in the air. Ive taken 100’s of birds with a .22lr rifle and scores with the .22lr pistol, too. you can trap small game and net fish. Walking around in daylight, post shtf, will get you shot. especially if you make noise and especially if that noise is easily identified as being from anyone so stupd as to be a shotgun-wielder All they have to do is use cover, fire from 50m and you’ll be helpless.

i’d like to see you CARRY all that, even without the 30+ lbs of food, water, armor, night vision, sleep/shelter gear, etc, and enough ammo to make them all worth having. Where will you get the crystal ball that tells you when you wont need the range of the rifle, the silencer and subsonic ammo, the concealment in the backpack, While ideal in ONE situation, those other choice s are terrible for the other situations that you’ll face if shtf. making noise will get you killed. Being out and about in daylight will get you killed. You wont need spare parts. There will be so many people dead, in short order, that you’ll be able to pick up lots of entire guns and you wont survive needing to fire 200 rds of centerfire ammo the first year of shtf, or 50 rds per year afterward. the animals will all be gone in a couple of months. In 6 months, 90% of the population will be dead, in a year 99 %, in 2 years, 99.5$, cause there’s not enough non-hybrid seed to feed more and the gasoline will all become varnish by then. With no fertilizer, no insecticides, no herbicides, and constant threat of being shot by marauders, nobody’s going to be producing more crops then they need to get by for themselves. A single action revolver is a joke and so is the very heavy ammo for .45 and 308
