Three Weapons Every Prepper Needs
When the end of the world as we know it (TEOTWAWKI) arrives, we will be suddenly thrust into a new reality, one where scarcity and want are prevalent. At that point it’s too late to begin acquiring the skills, tools, and supplies you’ll need. They’ll simply be too hard to come by.
The new post-TEOTWAWKI world will find many people looking for food through the traditional techniques of hunting and gathering. Hunting is far easier if you have the right weapon and ammunition for the game you’re attempting to capture.
At a minimum, there are three key weapons that every prepper should own. These 
weapons are not the extent of the prepper’s arsenal, just the bare minimum required to allow the widest variety of hunting options.
.22 Calibre Rifle
The .22 calibre, one of the smallest calibres available, is an easy to carry and easy to use weapon with a wide range of applications in survival situations. It can be used to put traditional fare, such as squirrels and rabbits, on your dinner table. It can also be used to harvest snakes, turtles, and even birds as the situation demands.
Many gun manufacturers make rifles chambered for the .22 calibre. One of the most highly regarded, yet reasonably priced, is the Ruger 10/22. The rifle has a 10-round rotary magazine and is available with barrel lengths ranging from the Compact 16.1-inches to the Standard 20-inch model.
.22 calibre ammunition is inexpensive and plentiful, at least right now, so it’s easy to stock up in preparation for TEOTWAWKI and the changes that will bring in our lives.
Every prepper’s arsenal should contain a .22 rifle.
12 Gauge Shotgun
The 12 gauge shotgun has earned it’s place in the hearts of hunters around the world. It’s become the de facto weapon of choice for avid bird hunters, and with good reason. It can used for small game birds such as quail and dove. With a change of ammunition, the same weapon can be used for much larger migratory birds such as ducks and geese.
The 12 gauge’s flexibility doesn’t end with small birds; it can also be used to hunt much larger prey such as turkey and deer. Read the full article on bioprepper.com
