Re: I only have one arm in the ZPAW
Being slightly more serious here. If you only have one functioning shoulder-attached appendage then a slung weapon that hangs straight down under(in front of) your armpit when not in use would be the way to go, a semi would be preferable(easy to load/charge when hanging down under your one good arm)...

Re: If you could only have one...
If I could only have one ammo availability would be the consideration that would outweigh ALL other considerations, the perfect gun is useless without ammo and the same goes for any variation of almost perfect 'compromises' that doesn't have ammo availability as the number 1 criteria.

Slight necro but Fitness is the second most important thing when it comes to survival, intelligence/logic/reasoning is the most important factor and too much fitness with not enough intelligence can get you killed(ref. Bear Grylls...).........

Re: Would you eat canned dog or cat food?
This is why I pack a pair of heavy-duty rat traps. They work much better than snares and primitive trapping techniques, are almost endlessly reusable, and pretty lethal to anything the size of a squirrel on down. In my general experience, varmints (rats, mice, voles - even some types of squirrels i...

Re: G40 For A Guy Who Hates Glocks?
FWIW if you are looking for something larger than 9 then a glock 21 and a 10mm wolf longslide top end for it would give you greater flexibility if(when) ammo becomes scarce. That said, I do love Tanfoglios(EAA) and with those you can put a top end in any caliber between 9mm and .45 on the same frame...

If you don't use any of the functions or the light and just use it as a watch then a basic Casio G.Shock will have a battery life of quite a few years, they're cheap so you can buy spares and a stack of replacement batteries don't cost much or take up much space so it would be a simple and cheap way...
