Great comment Nachzehrer, I'd overly stocked on food AND water (ie, multiple rainwater storage tanks, multiple filters, gallons tucked away in the basement etc etc.) and plentiful Bic lighters, booze (mostly bourbon but have a couple of gallons of everclear) and garbage bags too. Have a 2nd location where game is more plentiful we can head too and traps and weapons there as well. Here's something to consider, all of those Bosian homes like where Selco lived were either brick or concrete. In the US where I live it's 99 percent wood - bullets go right through them. Suspect we will be torched out before we are sniped at as in Bosnia.
When my mom got old I collected up her firearms, mostly old trash that she'd inherited herself. She wanted to keep the 30-30, a 100plus year old lever action saddle rifle, and 1 bullet. Just one. LOL.
Well, for self defense/hunting I've got a Russian semi-auto 12 ga with a couple of large drum magazines. They will outperfom any AR-15 especially when it comes to versatility. I've got an AR10 and over 6000 rounds of 7.62 x 51 for anything longer range, but I'm not going to be any kind of useful past 300 years. I can't imagine shooting all that in my lifetime.
So I'm thinking rounds of 5.56 and 1000 rounds of 7.62 will keep me in good stead. However, it makes me nervous going to only 3000 from 22,000. But it should be plenty short of any full on war. I'm a single shot kind of guy anyway even when I was Army spray and pray wasn't my style with an M16 unless I was manning a machine gun.
