This silly game always elicits a lot of response, but...here goes. The purpose of the SHTF gun is to keep you alive long enough for law and order to be re-established. Not to fight 'enemy' troops. You need a gun that will feed you and be adequate for personal defense if needed. To this end I suggest a Savage 24F combination gun in .30-30/12 gauge. Ammunition can be had at any wrecked Wal-Mart or Mom & Pop cross roads store, it will kill anything in North America with two feet or four, skin, fur, or feathers, is dirt-simple to repair or maintain thanks to the design of its action, and there are innumerable adapters that can be used to shoot other calibers. With a few adapters a 24F will shoot: .32 ACP, .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, .30 Carbine, .410, 20 gauge, etc., and you can find an adapter in any conceivable caliber such as .22 LR, .22 Magnum, .223, .45 ACP, and 9mm etc., if you want one. If I could have another gun it would be a Ruger single action revolver in .357 with a spare cylinder in 9mm, for obvious reasons. If you can't survive with this setup, you can't survive.

I have a Mossberg AR in 5.56/.223 and a Mini-14 (bot in 1981) it also handles 5.56/.223. Love both guns would probably carry either of them. Also have a 10/22 with carry bag. That would be my backup.
