He apparently felt that people who used survivalism as an excuse to get all the guns were kind of stupid in all sorts of ways. If you need an excuse to rationalize getting all the guns, you're already doing it wrong. Unless you're married, I guess.

Shouldn't you get a .357 instead of a .38 so you can feed it everything from .38 Colt to hot magnum loads?

Been looking for an excuse to get a chiappa 12" alaskan takedown levergun in .44 and imminent nuclear exchange is as good a reason as any I suppose..

When exactly are those big Russian maneuvers happening anyways? If it's really done to hide preparations to invade us, at least I can work to get you prime footage of the new T-72B3 and being on the incoming end of exciting developments in UAV-MLRS partnership.

Cyrano4747 posted:Yes, but they don't have to wipe it off the map like Berlin in 1945. Even getting a few barrages of high caliber HE and as many more SRBMs into the city would cause a LOT of deaths. Seoul has an extensive system of subways and shelters. http://nautilus.org/napsnet/napsnet-special-reports/mind-the-gap-between-rhetoric-and-reality/

I'm deprived of apocalyptic fantasy because I figure I'm not surviving any scenario in which DC and all the gov poo poo around my house are the target of nuclear weapons. The only paranoid thing I keep in my bag of regular emergency crap is potassium iodide because I work a block from the Whitehouse and figure a dirty bomb thing has a thousandth of a percent chance of actually happening or whatever.

Phanatic posted:Seoul has an extensive system of subways and shelters. Sure. And in the event of something going off they're not going to get more than a fraction of the population in there. I lived a year in Seoul and my apartment was about 15 minutes at a jog from the nearest subway. If they've got hours of warning sure, but if it's a sudden thing there is going to be a lot of dying.

In a large scale chemical attack the last place you want to be is underground unless those subway stations are sealable with NBC filtration.

OfficialGBSCaliph posted:loving lol, 'just three guns'. It does make sense. You need shotgun and rifle for different types of hunting. And the revolver makes sense as self defence, because sooner or later you will lay down your long rifle and then notice some scary critter has ended up between you and the gun. Cyrano4747 posted:I lived a year in Seoul and my apartment was about 15 minutes at a jog from the nearest subway. The closest population shelter is ten minute walk from my home. I've visited it couple times with coworkers. Below is a picture. During high school I joined a thai boxing club for a short time. The training venue was in a large population shelter 20-30 meters below rock under the local phone company building.

Mortabis posted:Rochester is the best part of New York. Deep below the Pacific Ocean, noted director James Cameron pilots a custom built submersible to the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Grasped in the robotic arm is a specially designed commemorative marker, cylindrical in nature. Cameron deftly places the marker at the deepest part of the trench, narrating for the cameras "Now, by leaving this here, Mankind has finally set the bar as low as it can possibly go. No one could set the bar lower." The intercom crackles to life "Sir, Mortabis has posted again. He confused New York City with New York State and likes Rochester." Cameron screams. His adversary is unstoppable. Smiling Jack fucked around with this message at 23:45 on Apr 15, 2017 |

I live within walking distance of one of the biggest naval bases in the country. I have no nuclear survival plan because in any conceivable nuclear strike on the US I'm getting ashed.
