Set up snairs and traps you need a knife to MAKE this. Tell me what you can MAKE out of a gun to survive?
Nothing it usless after you run out of bullets and you will starve to death after it does because you relyed on it.
Government wants you to have your guns it gives you false sence of security it makes you think you can fight tanks and jets. But really your just a guy throwing rocks acttually I take that back somebody good at throwing rocks will be better off when the shit hits the fan because his "ammo" is everywhere on the ground.
Gun nuts will always think they got enough ammo but metal rusts and guns break. When my knife or axe jams in the middle of a job then ill switch to guns.
Killing isnt the only way to survive look at monkeys they kill with their hands and dont even mean to.
So while you think your on top of the animal kingdom wait tell your gun jams when you starng death in the eyes then ask your self whos being hunted?
You approach situations your normaly wouldnt when you have a gun in a survival situation and your not even sure its gonna work. Guns are mechanical objects they do malfunction and when it does chances are you will be in a shitty situation you wouldnt have been in without a gun.
Go buy a peice of good steal now heat this peice of steal up and hand forge it into a knife with this knife you can get/make food, shelter, fire,water and protection.
Only way to get this with a gun is steal it or distroy meat you could have ate.
Snairs and leg traps waist no meat NONE and in survive situation last thing you want to do is waist any meat. I know I know head shots but the brain of any animal is the most usefull part when it comes to meals and survivle.
Guns make you weak!!
Don't bring your knife to a gun fight. Unless your withing 6 feet of someone, they will gun you down before you can even lash out at them. Ever try hunting a deer with a Knife? impossible they run far too fast for you to chase, but since bullets travel faster than the speed of sound there is no deer who can run away from it. Ever try to kill a Bear with a knife? I would much rather have a gun.
Gun jams? I have an AK, they never jam even if you fill them with rocks, mud and sand. If your gun is jamming then you haven't been taking care of it. My Glock has 40,000 + rounds through it and is 17 years old, it has never jammed. Once in a while my AR jams becasue of a badly sized Casing, but since there are 29 more rounds in the magazine it only takes half a second to extract and reload by pulling on the charging handle.
jets and tanks do not hunt people, they hunt other tanks or jets or are for anti-material purposes NOT people. The enemy would go bankrupt sending multimillion dollar equipment out to kill a single person.
Ever set up a trap only to come back and find the animal you caught has chewed its own leg off and has gotten away? Ever see an animal that you have poked a hole all the way through get up and walk away?
An empty gun is still useful, Mine have bayonets on the end plus they make nice clubbing weps. Guns do not break very easily, they are made to take some major abuse, especially the assault types.
If you take care of your firearms they will never rust. The majority of my firearms are hard coat anodized and teflon coated, the barrels are either Stainless steel or Chrome Molybdenum , neither rusts.
You obviously have zero military experience and zero firearm experience or you would not try to make the argument that a knife is a better weapon to have if you want to survive in a SHTF scenario.
When the hungry mob comes for your food are you going to cut all their throats before they take you down? You might get one or 2 before they tear you limb from limb, but if you shoot one dead on the spot and you have enough to kill 30 people in 1 magazine their natural instinct will take over and the hungry mob will move to easier pickings like the guy with a knife to defend himself.
