They have problems. Not all big problems but still. I have never owned one or even shot one but I do know alot of people who do and that's coming from them.
Jason’s X95 tavor in 5.56 is a winner for me. Mine in 16inch with OSS suppressor is still shorter than my 16inch DI. It’s piston, Comes with integrated back-up night sights, ambi, and tough enough for Israeli military.
@@dougrippe33 I find mine to be the least gassy rifle I've ever shot. A gasketed port cover is a good addition though. The X95 is the quietest suppressor host I've ever used.
@@dougrippe33 Not gassy at all thats what i love about the flow through cans from OSS/HUXWRX, pushes the gasses out front. it’s pretty quiet too, Sounds more like a thud.
@@osisikenny I forget OSS is HUXWRX…..I’m pissed that I pinned and welded my recent build with a Nox Keymo flash hider. It works great, but now I’m stuck with that hub system when I get a can.
Depends on where your at, but you’d want a long gun most of the time, you’d really only use the handgun for close combat when your rifle goes down. Never go into a gun fight vs rifles with a handgun. This ain’t John wick
@@HatsuneM1ku01The point is walking around with a rifle automatically makes you an easily identifiable threat & target in some circumstances, but you are also correct in that you don't stand much chance against a rifle with a pistol. Everything will be circumstantial, sorry for the rhetoric.
All good options!!! Jason... man... understood the assignment! You got me rethinking my go to... very well thought out and you make make great points. Now I gotta put a bulllpup on the to buy list lol. Would love to see more of this topic content in all aspects from you guys!!!
My go to is a .308. Its the cartridge for everything. Have a 16" semi auto as your main "battle rifle". Slign a lightweight bolt action over your shoulder for longer ranges/hunting. Only downside would be the weight of the ammo
@@ij1376 Good choice! Right now I have a full 922r conversion Izhmash Saiga308, and my cheap but reliable Savage Axis for my combo. Going to be upgrading from that Savage to a Tikka or a Bergara at some point
Bullpup for SHTF _seriously_ underrated. Full barrel for more velocity, better ballistics, good for range and compact enough for CQB. Most versatile option on the table, truly. Probably would have chose the Springfield Helion though, in OD Green. That Master Chief 🤌🏼
I get what you’re saying for sure. I definitely go bullpup for all those same reasons. But personally I choose IWI for the battle proven aspect. That Springfield Helion is a cool looking rifle though. Would love to see it go head to head in battle testing vs the Tavor and see how they stack up.
@@DTreatz Last time Croatia was at war was 1995 when it became independent. The VHS2 was not adopted until 2009. In which “battles” have these rifles, and its subsidiaries by Springfield, been tested and proven? Just because it is adopted by a military does not mean that it is good or that it is therefore “battle tested”. I’m sure it went through some sort of torture test but that in itself does not mean it has been proved as a battle rifle.
I agree with the bullpup, but if it is going to be used as a bugout rifle I wonder if the Aug wouldn’t be a better choice. Why easier take down and maintenance in the field and less tools possibly needed. Plus proven design.
When it hits the fan, versatility and reliability are key, and your selection reflects that perfectly. Personally, I'd lean towards a rugged AR-15 for its adaptability and commonality of ammo, complemented by a reliable sidearm like a Glock 19 for close encounters.
My current SHTF set up is a 14.5 inch KAC SR15 mod 2 upper on an LMT lower w/ a KAC MCQ suppressor. I just need to get a magnifier to go with the aimpoint t2 i have mounted on it.
AK in 7.62 with magpul furniture, I have a cleaning rod, cleaning kit in the stock with spare rags, and a bottle of cleaner in the grip, plus a bayonet. It's got red dot with magnifier, and that can come off and provide me with irons at any time. Magazine should last the life of the rifle, but no harm in attaching another, so long as I'm not in prolonged firefights, it's no problem (and I don't live anywhere near anything mildly considered high population areas.) That or scar 17s... gives me all of that and the takedown power.... or a 590A1 pump.... or a DDM4A1 RIII. Any of those could be a do-it-all, but none of them are necessarily great at everything.
Jason is definitely on the right track with the Tavor X95. But, he needs to step it up to the Tavor 7 in 308. The Tavor 7 is a huge improvement over the X95. Especially if you want to fire suppressed because it has an adjustable gas block.
Sheltering in place during an "SHTF" scenario? My AR10/.308 18". Bugging out? My AR15 and 9mm side arm. Can carry more ammo and will more likely come across ammo in these calibers down the road.
@@user-sk7zc1fc5uThe problem with that is everyone is going to have the same idea. It will be very crowded and a lot of people will be shooting at game and each other.

Very clever and well planned choice on the matching 14.5 BCM’s (I love BCM anyway) If either of you ever ended up with each others guns for whatever reason, then you should feel right at home with minimal adjustments.. NICE!
I REALLY like what Kia said, “I don’t have to trust my government to love my country.” I haven’t heard that before and I love it. Out of what I currently own, I’m grabbing my 11.5 Bren 2. In my Favorite Guns in 2023 video on my channel if you’re curious about the setup. Or just bored.
The Tavor would be a very good option. I’m a little surprised no one went with a suppressed .300 Blackout AR-15 with about a 10” barrel, but I’m guessing the disparity in ammo availability vs 5.56mm is a big part of that. That said, if .300 Blackout ever becomes a widespread NATO round, then it would be at the top of my list!
You should pick different scenarios to build around. As unrealistic as zombies are it would be interesting to see each persons pick, especially different zombie types from movies. Some other scenarios that might affect the decision is a rise of the machines scenario, red dawn, and total anarchy. Take your pick.
If we are talking about a shtf country wide scenario I think you need to have a kit to support it. Side arm, fighting rifle, precision rifle and be proficient at shooting range, 22LR survival rifle with plenty of ammo, armor, med kits, plate carrier, rations, radio and most ideally a rural quiet environment that you can sit out the conflict with your family and defend.
My SHTF setup is a 14.5” pin & weld AR15 with a LPVO (1-6 cuz I got a lot of woods where I am) but I also have access to an ACOG w/top mount red dot if I need to save weight. Always have a flashlight, ppl
My go to shtf weapons are my great lakes gl-15 223 wylde, 16", midwest industries qd scope mount with a vortex strike eagle 1-8x24 and top mounted holosun 507c red dot, magpul flip up irons, streamlight pro tac weapon light and my shadow systems mr920 9mm. Simple setup for me.
On a side note, I do like that Aaron is staying lower most of the time. So Clint doesnt feel to small in the group 😂 And why does Kaya keep giving Aaron his shirts right before filming. They clearly not the right size 😆
Good currencies for when money loses value: ammo, coffee, cigarettes, sugar/salt, liquor, common otc and prescription medications (opiates, antibiotics, etc), dried beans/rice, flour.
LMT MRP 12.5” 5.56. LMT MWS 13.5” 308 and 20” 6.5CM barrels. If I had to choose one, the MWS. Very modular for every purpose, carrying an extra barrel is lighter than carrying a full upper. Can go as far as dropping the 13.5” 308 for a 14.5 6.5CM MRGG style build, a very capable 1000yd setup.
In SHTF things get muddy, if there is a team it‘ll be small, ammo is scarce and there is no medic waiting to drag you off and have you flown into a hospital in some base. So, effective identification and engagement distance is king, plus whatever you are shooting at must not shoot back 😁. So I agree with Jason. - 16“ 7.62x51 Bullpup - Barnes 130 grain TTSX @ 2900 ft/s - 3-18x44 scope with BDC reticle - canted Red Dot - titanium can - 10 spare parts kits 😂
@@UrbanDefenseSystems Now that clashes with the do it all requirement. But awesome idea, let the CF team do a shoot house with a Barrett sized rifle 😁.
What concerns me is that in a shtf situation, 99% of all gun owners, UA-cam influencers, etc, are all talkin about buggin out and hidin in the hills. But if the government is sending tens of thousands of troops out to squash all resistance, who’s fightin back when everybody is fleeing? That’s exactly why all of the immigrants are comin here. For one, they gave up their guns, for two, they don’t have the courage to fight back anyways. Same with California. Everybody’s fleeing California so communism/socialism I spreading and taking more control of the state. Same with New York and the north eastern states. If everybody keeps fleeing rather than holding your ground, rallying up with like minded people, and fighting back, then the government will win. I hear people talkin about “you so called patriots think you can fight against drones and jets”….well, it would be a good strategy for let’s say 1,000 patriots to rally up and raid the local Air Force base, and sabotage their aircraft and communications. In the middle of the night, 1,000 patriots raid the armory and sabotage armored vehicles and personnel carriers. That’s how I think rather than bugging out and hidin in the mountains somewhere, but that’s just me.
I really feel like,it comes down to what your comfortable with and available at hand, 5.56 always seems to win. Gold and silver I'm not convinced on, if shtf its gonna be like that for a while and who cares about money, food water ammo i think would be more important trade.
I've been a Gunsmith for 35 years & O inherited my Grandads gold and silver collectin when he passed away &y Dads guns when he died My Grandfather was In WWII & felt he needed to teach me about Survival. Where I live is far & away from anywhere.🤠
I never really liked the term SHTF because it's extremely broad. It's hard to make an optimal kit setup when you don't know if the hypothetical scenario requires tons of running or staying stationary in a building. Big difference in setup there
As a civilian I’m assuming I’m alone in a full on shtf or with very limited backup. So I’d probably go with a 308 piston ar since it’s the largest most reasonable common round you can find that can defeat most armor. I’d also go with a 18”-20” barrel since I’m aiming to end fights before people know I’m their so I’m staying atleast 600 yards away with a thermal scope. I don’t have a medic so I consider getting in a close range fight to be the end. I’d also go with a nearly silent suppressor for 308 like the huxwrx flow 762 ti. So… SWORD MK-17 308 (dirt brown) HUXWRX 762 flow ti Suppressor cover (dirt brown) Trijicon Reaper 60 Holosun 508t Green (offset sight) Arisaka offset mount PRS Altas bipod Streamlight ProTac 2.0 Holosun Lg117 green laser Magpul Sling (brown) Magpul vertical grip (green) Magpul rail covers (green) Magpul iron sights (foldable)
If i think im staying, 18" DD5 V4 with 50rd magpul drum. If i think im running, 12.5" DD5 V4 with 50rd magpul drum. Either way, Sig XTEN with RMR and extended 20rd mags on my hip
SHTF probably means take what will be your only weapons for a loooong time if not forever. I'll take the Colt LE6920 and either Sig 226 or Beretta M9/92.
Wyndham Weaponry RMCS-4 (+1) my modular rifle system fires 7.62x39, 300 blackout, .223/556 NATO, 9mm, and .22 LR. With a barrel, bolt carrier, and mag well change in the same time it takes to load a 30 round magazine you can swap out the caliber you are firing. The kit is a little heavier, though, as it has three barrels, three mag wells, and three bolt carriers in the hard-shell, but the versatility of it makes it the ultimate SHTF rifle.
@@settlesmachiningtools8671 It is an amazing platform, and I think it trumps all other suggestions down below... I mean when they run out of ammo what are they going to do? I can loot and most likely find ammo I can shoot, 9mm and 223 are everywhere in this country. I mostly leave mine configured in 7.62x39 since I like that punch...similar to 300 black out and 30-30 Winchester.
Kaya's setup 100%. That is THE rifle in my mind as close to a do it all rifle as I consider for shtf. Piecing together my own version with that exact barrel. Beautiful shooting barrel, but with keymo for hub compatibility.
To me, the SHTF preference is all in how you frame it, and I think you can frame it generally in one of two ways: 1) Practicality in terms of commonality/availability 2) Practicality in terms of performance & application versatility If I'm going with #1, then I'm going with a 5.56 rifle with a roughly 14" barrel range. There's no question that 5.56/.223 is the 9mm of rifle ammo. If I'm going with #2, then I'm going with an 8" to 9" .300 Blackout rifle. It's just SO versatile. Whether that's shooting various ~110-150gr supersonics that can take down medium game in a hunt or large, heavy 220gr subsonics, it's performance is stellar, AND all out of a short barrel, AND using the same 5.56 magazines.
14.5 ACOG, Up Close… You Got It! Out to 500 Yards, you got it! Sly. Tactical Sling! Got it. Suppression, yes. Stay Low, Move Fast, Shoot First, Die Last!
300 blackout suppressed is my go to. Can use it for home defense, hunting and if need be take suppressor of and use reg ammo for further distance situations ( up to 100 yards). My second would be the 308. It’s second choice because of weight and noise. It does however beat the 300 blackout in distance situations.
I'd use my Glock 21, M1A SOCOM 16 Squad Scout with Bushnell Trophy MP ACOG, and PSA AR-10 with ATN THOR IRNV scope. You always need a good close, medium, and long range loadout.
i run a 300 blk supressed setup for my shtf weapon. i know its not practical, but thats why i have an AR. easily could find a different upper if i needed. in fact i have a whole nother 5.56 10.5 upper that ill carry with my ruck. i just want the pure scilence for the beginning so i make less noise while i lead to safty.
Don't get me wrong, I love my AR's and AK's but I would probably would want a bullpup for SHTF like Jason. It's compact, lower recoil, and full powder burn which basically is a shorter gun compared with AR's and AK's but still has high velocity of if paired with a 20 inch barrel. Gonna go with the Springfield Hellion.

You should pick different scenarios to build around. As unrealistic as zombies are it would be interesting to see each persons pick, especially different zombie types from movies. Some other scenarios that might affect the decision is a rise of the machines scenario, red dawn, and total anarchy. Take your pick.
My 22mag, my colt M4, and my Glock 19.
If we are talking about a shtf country wide scenario I think you need to have a kit to support it. Side arm, fighting rifle, precision rifle and be proficient at shooting range, 22LR survival rifle with plenty of ammo, armor, med kits, plate carrier, rations, radio and most ideally a rural quiet environment that you can sit out the conflict with your family and defend.
CZ 452 22LR bolt action suppressed. Never running out of ammo lol
My SHTF setup is a 14.5” pin & weld AR15 with a LPVO (1-6 cuz I got a lot of woods where I am) but I also have access to an ACOG w/top mount red dot if I need to save weight. Always have a flashlight, ppl
"...what guns?" - whatever I have and know how to use
Ruger 22/45 suppressed with a brick or two of CCI standard velocity and extra mags.
Clint is on point with this one.
im with Clint on the rifle set up with Acog. Im not reliant on batteries for my scope. It's always on... its combat proven.
It's nice seeing how much this channel has grown. I still remember when it was just Clint in the videos way back when.
I'm a fan of precious metals. They are good for wealth preservation. Brass and lead/copper are a good investment as well.
My go to is my Henry X 45-70 in full Ranger Point Precision and Costa handguard.
The x95 is my shtf rifle so I was happy to see Jason’s pick
Matt does a great job with sponsorship clips.
That McClean Sling is awesome!
I love you too
My go to shtf weapons are my great lakes gl-15 223 wylde, 16", midwest industries qd scope mount with a vortex strike eagle 1-8x24 and top mounted holosun 507c red dot, magpul flip up irons, streamlight pro tac weapon light and my shadow systems mr920 9mm. Simple setup for me.
T10 slings for me with the swinger on mine. Love their stuff…
On a side note, I do like that Aaron is staying lower most of the time.
So Clint doesnt feel to small in the group 😂
And why does Kaya keep giving Aaron his shirts right before filming. They clearly not the right size 😆
Good currencies for when money loses value: ammo, coffee, cigarettes, sugar/salt, liquor, common otc and prescription medications (opiates, antibiotics, etc), dried beans/rice, flour.
Ammo and essential commodities would be the only thing of worth during shtf
EXCELLENT Content Brothers!!!! 🙏🇺🇸🙏
LMT MRP 12.5” 5.56. LMT MWS 13.5” 308 and 20” 6.5CM barrels. If I had to choose one, the MWS. Very modular for every purpose, carrying an extra barrel is lighter than carrying a full upper. Can go as far as dropping the 13.5” 308 for a 14.5 6.5CM MRGG style build, a very capable 1000yd setup.
I'm with Jason in a bullpup. I'd go with the DesertTech WLVRN in .308.
In SHTF things get muddy, if there is a team it‘ll be small, ammo is scarce and there is no medic waiting to drag you off and have you flown into a hospital in some base.
So, effective identification and engagement distance is king, plus whatever you are shooting at must not shoot back 😁. So I agree with Jason.
- 16“ 7.62x51 Bullpup
- Barnes 130 grain TTSX @ 2900 ft/s
- 3-18x44 scope with BDC reticle
- canted Red Dot
- titanium can
- 10 spare parts kits 😂
In that case if you don't have a 416 or 50 cal Barret you're finished.
@@UrbanDefenseSystems Now that clashes with the do it all requirement. But awesome idea, let the CF team do a shoot house with a Barrett sized rifle 😁.
What concerns me is that in a shtf situation, 99% of all gun owners, UA-cam influencers, etc, are all talkin about buggin out and hidin in the hills. But if the government is sending tens of thousands of troops out to squash all resistance, who’s fightin back when everybody is fleeing? That’s exactly why all of the immigrants are comin here. For one, they gave up their guns, for two, they don’t have the courage to fight back anyways. Same with California. Everybody’s fleeing California so communism/socialism I spreading and taking more control of the state. Same with New York and the north eastern states. If everybody keeps fleeing rather than holding your ground, rallying up with like minded people, and fighting back, then the government will win. I hear people talkin about “you so called patriots think you can fight against drones and jets”….well, it would be a good strategy for let’s say 1,000 patriots to rally up and raid the local Air Force base, and sabotage their aircraft and communications. In the middle of the night, 1,000 patriots raid the armory and sabotage armored vehicles and personnel carriers. That’s how I think rather than bugging out and hidin in the mountains somewhere, but that’s just me.
I'll grab my sks, model 12, and canik tp9. Yes, im a fud at 30, but those guns will literally survive anything, and i already own them
Great choices guys. All Good.
Love the choice of the x95 I currently conceal carry the IWI Masada and I would easily pick the tavor 7 so I can the extra firepower of the 308
I don’t buy precious metals unless it’s brass/lead/powder. Can’t eat gold or silver, but you can hunt for it! 😊
Need to think about ammo long term and if you have to scavenge or what you expect to find on un alive. 5.56, 9, .22.
Mentioned dot at the top as best reticle for lpvo... Maybe do a video as to best choices in scopes and reticles. Would be greatly appreciated.
I really feel like,it comes down to what your comfortable with and available at hand, 5.56 always seems to win. Gold and silver I'm not convinced on, if shtf its gonna be like that for a while and who cares about money, food water ammo i think would be more important trade.
No Galil? Come on!
Proven and reliable
First choice X95, then Galil Ace, then Noveske.
i miss alec in here so much
Awesome video! Great points to think about! Loving the banter 👏
I've been a Gunsmith for 35 years & O inherited my Grandads gold and silver collectin when he passed away &y Dads guns when he died
My Grandfather was In WWII & felt he needed to teach me about Survival. Where I live is far & away from anywhere.🤠
It's hilarious how Itty bitty Clint is next to these guys
"I don't have to trust my government to love my country" Amen brother 💪🏾🫡
I never really liked the term SHTF because it's extremely broad. It's hard to make an optimal kit setup when you don't know if the hypothetical scenario requires tons of running or staying stationary in a building. Big difference in setup there
As a civilian I’m assuming I’m alone in a full on shtf or with very limited backup. So I’d probably go with a 308 piston ar since it’s the largest most reasonable common round you can find that can defeat most armor. I’d also go with a 18”-20” barrel since I’m aiming to end fights before people know I’m their so I’m staying atleast 600 yards away with a thermal scope. I don’t have a medic so I consider getting in a close range fight to be the end. I’d also go with a nearly silent suppressor for 308 like the huxwrx flow 762 ti. So…
SWORD MK-17 308 (dirt brown)
HUXWRX 762 flow ti
Suppressor cover (dirt brown)
Trijicon Reaper 60
Holosun 508t Green (offset sight)
Arisaka offset mount
PRS Altas bipod
Streamlight ProTac 2.0
Holosun Lg117 green laser
Magpul Sling (brown)
Magpul vertical grip (green)
Magpul rail covers (green)
Magpul iron sights (foldable)
If i think im staying, 18" DD5 V4 with 50rd magpul drum. If i think im running, 12.5" DD5 V4 with 50rd magpul drum. Either way, Sig XTEN with RMR and extended 20rd mags on my hip
I'll go with Kaya. The 45° are close range. Perfect cheek weld isn't necessary. I may go longer range optic. Definitely suppressed.
I'd be curious to see which AK Matt would use for SHTF.
Yes. WTH is Matt's Mad Max AK...!? 😅
SHTF probably means take what will be your only weapons for a loooong time if not forever. I'll take the Colt LE6920 and either Sig 226 or Beretta M9/92.
You matched my choices exactly. 🇺🇸👍😳
Love you guys!!!
Great point DI for ease of repairs. I'll take a flat shooter over light mitigation.
Glad to see a piston operated firearm in y'alls presentation
Jason wins this one.
Wyndham Weaponry RMCS-4 (+1) my modular rifle system fires 7.62x39, 300 blackout, .223/556 NATO, 9mm, and .22 LR. With a barrel, bolt carrier, and mag well change in the same time it takes to load a 30 round magazine you can swap out the caliber you are firing. The kit is a little heavier, though, as it has three barrels, three mag wells, and three bolt carriers in the hard-shell, but the versatility of it makes it the ultimate SHTF rifle.
I had to look it up man i like the idea of having a rifle that can change calibers
@@settlesmachiningtools8671 It is an amazing platform, and I think it trumps all other suggestions down below... I mean when they run out of ammo what are they going to do? I can loot and most likely find ammo I can shoot, 9mm and 223 are everywhere in this country. I mostly leave mine configured in 7.62x39 since I like that punch...similar to 300 black out and 30-30 Winchester.
Kaya's setup 100%. That is THE rifle in my mind as close to a do it all rifle as I consider for shtf. Piecing together my own version with that exact barrel. Beautiful shooting barrel, but with keymo for hub compatibility.
That sling is fire asf
I’m with the guy in the middle, I have the Tavor SAR 16.
To me, the SHTF preference is all in how you frame it, and I think you can frame it generally in one of two ways:
1) Practicality in terms of commonality/availability
2) Practicality in terms of performance & application versatility
If I'm going with #1, then I'm going with a 5.56 rifle with a roughly 14" barrel range. There's no question that 5.56/.223 is the 9mm of rifle ammo.
If I'm going with #2, then I'm going with an 8" to 9" .300 Blackout rifle. It's just SO versatile. Whether that's shooting various ~110-150gr supersonics that can take down medium game in a hunt or large, heavy 220gr subsonics, it's performance is stellar, AND all out of a short barrel, AND using the same 5.56 magazines.
PA Micro Prism 1x ,3x or 5x. With a Monstrum 2x forward magnifier.
More companies need to make these forward magnifiers.
14.5 ACOG, Up Close… You Got It! Out to 500 Yards, you got it! Sly. Tactical Sling! Got it. Suppression, yes.
Stay Low, Move Fast, Shoot First, Die Last!
I like two cops one mic podcast.
Colt Modular Carbine (AR901-16s): .308 + .556 Conversion Kit + M4 Upper. Solved Clint's issue, one lower & 2 uppers.
Good info, enjoyed. Thanks
300 blackout suppressed is my go to. Can use it for home defense, hunting and if need be take suppressor of and use reg ammo for further distance situations ( up to 100 yards). My second would be the 308. It’s second choice because of weight and noise. It does however beat the 300 blackout in distance situations.
One DI 13.7 pin and welded with an lpvo nox muzzle streamlight. Second 13.7 piston with an eotech and magnifier nox muzzle and suppressor
I'd use my Glock 21, M1A SOCOM 16 Squad Scout with Bushnell Trophy MP ACOG, and PSA AR-10 with ATN THOR IRNV scope. You always need a good close, medium, and long range loadout.
i run a 300 blk supressed setup for my shtf weapon. i know its not practical, but thats why i have an AR. easily could find a different upper if i needed. in fact i have a whole nother 5.56 10.5 upper that ill carry with my ruck. i just want the pure scilence for the beginning so i make less noise while i lead to safty.
Don't get me wrong, I love my AR's and AK's but I would probably would want a bullpup for SHTF like Jason. It's compact, lower recoil, and full powder burn which basically is a shorter gun compared with AR's and AK's but still has high velocity of if paired with a 20 inch barrel. Gonna go with the Springfield Hellion.
My doomsday rifle is the Quattro 15, with a 20 in BCM upper. Haven’t decided which prism to throw on it yet
The suppressed X95 is the quietest rifle host I've ever used. It shocks me how quiet it is.
Great post guys, subscribed!
