Moderator's note:

[Sigh.. Looks like guns are a fading topic here, but survivalism fever
has been caught so we might as well let it run its course. How about
some discussion on good weapons for survival? I'm kind of curious about
the best mix between durability/reliability and effectiveness myself. -jh]

Kirk,
I'm not sure *exactly* what you mean by "survival" as that word has three
not entirely independent definitions in my book. My interest is currently
more towards the "benign" wilderness-existence aspect, but I am interested
in anything that's to be said in any of the three areas.

My three definitions:
 Survival as in "malignant" post-holocaust existance (popular SF topic),
 Survival as in (usually barely) staying alive to return to civilization,
 Survival as in living in wilderness (return to nature).
