[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2423075, member: 9374"] I'd ask why you think you need to add 7.62ARs to the stable? The 7.62 round in an AR isn't something I would consider, personally. If you're dead-set you want 7.62, then the AK platform was built for it and cycles it reliably in all kinds of conditions, proven over many decades. I'd stay away from 7.62ARs, myself. The .45... ok, well, you've got 9mm. What do you need the .45 for? We're not talking about a single-showdown manstopping situation here. Although it's possible you could get into that. Honestly, with all that ammo, how much is "target" or "practice" ammo, and how much is actual "duty" ammo you'd want to load up with for potential action? Sounds like you have a couple of places for settling in... assume you are stocking for a number of folks, so would you have guards or patrols? Would you want your patrols or guards carrying FMJ in their pistols? Nothing particularly wrong with it, but if you're looking to improve effectiveness, getting into JHP ammo might be a better investment... I'm just wondering. I don't see the need in diversifying your collection anymore so much as focusing on what you would need to make it as well-rounded as you can, while streamlining your types of ammo/magazines/firearms. Maybe focus on firearms that are made from interchangeable parts and are ultra-reliable. If you're going to go with ARs, go with all ARs and stock replacement parts of every type. For pistols, I think Glocks are proven reliable, parts are readily available and you can teach just about anyone to shoot one. Keeps all magazines interchangeable that way, too. 5.56 ARs 9mm Glocks tons of replacement parts for each PMAGs Glock mags Then you mentioned a few long-range rifles... make sure you have good glass on them and replacements handy. Think about suppressors. Very very handy if you are in that kind of situation... I'd also look into more security arrangements, as mentioned above. Monitoring systems/equipment, meaning cameras and video cameras, good binoculars, stealth setups alerting for trespassers, etc. Looked into dogs? Raising and training guard/tracking/attack dogs might be a good diversification plan. They're usable in all kinds of weather and have an additional shock/fear factor involved when unleashing them upon an opponent.

They'll also keep you warm should you be out on patrol - assuming again, that ever becomes necessary. We're talking way far-out EOTW-type stuff here, but... stockpiling 100k rounds of ammo and 18 months' worth of food sounds like that's what you're planning against, to me. I'd also look heavily into the medical stuff. Just my $0.02. [/QUOTE]
