Looking for a "bob" gun.... handgun, rifle or shotgun

Question

i am looking to build a bug out bag or "bob" what type of gun should i get for it and should i only have one or more then one??? or no gun the kit is for 7 days

Answer 1

Sterling took the words out of my mouth.  Hard to find a more versitile firearm than a shotgun.  I'd recommend a pump action.  I like the Mossberg 500.  It's realatively cheap and I've put thousands of shells through mine without a hitch.  Pump guns also break down into a pretty compact package.  d**n shell are heavy though.

Answer 2

I recommend a shotgun, and a variety of different types of shells.  

You can can take birds and small mammals with birdshot, use buckshot if you run into trouble, and there's even 12 gauge flares for when you want to signal somebody.  Also, with slug rounds, you can extend your reach to about 100 yards.  

Shotguns are versatile.

Downside: carrying all those shells
