Since World War 3 is almost here, should everyone learn how to use a gun?

[ChefPapiChulo]

Or will it matter with the whole nuclear fall out thing?

We could really use a Winston Churchill right now.

I feel like guns are the least efficient weapon to have in an apocalypse. Once you run out of bullets, then what? Not to mention the amount of noise that they make, even if you have a way of making them quieter.


Bow & arrow or slingshot would be way more efficient to use if you’re wanting a firing weapon.

[ChefPapiChulo]

i need you to be by my side after the apocalypse pls

If you survive World War 3 yes. They say 5 billion people would die in ww3, 5 out of nearly 8 billion people. Those 3 billion would face starvation, cancer, tumours, radiation sickness, contaminated drinking water, radioactive fallout, irradiated wild life, year round freezing temperatures, no sunlight, disease etc which would probably kill another 2-3 billion. Imagine a world where a psycho who would normally be in jail for the most horrendous crimes was free to do whatever he wanted.

Petitedollbabie would be one of the first to go w her Hunger games mentality. How far can she shoot someone w a bow vs someone who has a sniper rifle, even just an AR-15 in general? I’m certainly glad I served in the military, trained w firearms as well as other weapons on war.

[ChefPapiChulo]

is she wrong tho? you ever hear the quote about how we will be back to fighting with sticks n stones after world war 3?

[ChefPapiChulo]

thats if we even survive the nuclear fallout, which would probably be very few people with the resources to live underground for years.

[Opinion Owner]

Sure a lot of people are going to die of that ever played out, but I’d rather take the fun over ancient weapons of war u less it really came down to it.

[ChefPapiChulo]

okay, but if you think about it, you need machinery to create guns. and eventually after society collapses, people will no longer be able to make guns and all the old guns will eventually wear out.

[Drewtate]

To be fair an arrow will go straight through a kevlar vest.
America has enough guns and bullets to last for a hundred years if the SHTF.

[ChefPapiChulo]

@Drewtate maybe if they rationed their ammo to extreme levels.

[Drewtate]

It is estimated 12 BILLION rounds of ammunition is sold each year in the USA. Not all of that ammo is shot off each year so it is reasonable to assume the total number of rounds in the US just in civilian hands alone is in the 10s of billions.

[ChefPapiChulo]

@Drewtate that’s chat gpt.

Chat gpt, find the amount of ammunition Ukraine has used so far.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Include the Russian statistics too.

[Drewtate]

You think in a post apocalyptic America vast armies of Americans are going to be firing off 1000 rounds of ammunition at each other daily?

[ChefPapiChulo]

@Drewtate I think ammunition can deteriorate and it’s not like the nukes won’t be targeting key military locations. Living above ground won’t even be possible for who knows how long. You think all of the ammo will be fully functional?

[Drewtate]

Ammunition can last nearly 100 years. The US military is giving their decades old ammo to Ukraine

[ChefPapiChulo]

@Drewtate yeah if stored properly. Weapons also require maintenance and that also takes resources, which would be scarce. If you think there would be enough ammo to fuel surviving armies for hundreds of years, that is just delusional.

[Drewtate]

Guns are easily maintained. With tens billions of rounds in the hands of private gun owners this doesn't include the military, police and various state & government agencies there are more than enough bullets to kill the current population 1000 times or more let alone a surviving post apocalypse population. Ammo is always stored properly.

[ChefPapiChulo]

@Drewtate now I know you’re chat gpt lol.

[Drewtate]

Quit making shit up

[jshm2]

No. Don't be silly.

Guns are the last thing you want on your list in a war.

Unless you are frontline, it's about building a defensible structure, and getting supplies and medical kits to bunker down. Outlasting the idiots fighting it out.

[ChefPapiChulo]

you don't think those people with guns wouldn't try to breach your defensible structure? and you don't think some of them would have the knowledge to be able to do it successfully?

[Drewtate]

It's true. They are called marauders. I saw a family of preppers that were planning to do that on doomsday preppers. Hilariously the dad had some illegal guns and the TV episode was all the evidence the authorities needed.

[ChefPapiChulo]

@Drewtate what a fat evil fuck. Shit hasn’t even hit the fan and he’s planning evil on his neighbors.

[Drewtate]

If he was my neighbour and society collapsed and the apocalypse starts, he's the first guy I'd shoot lol. He should be prepping for his eventual heart condition.

[Drewtate]

Depends where you living. Nuclear war if you survive between radiation zones and radioactive dust blown by the wind contaminating the water, wildlife and food well with all the cancers and tumours you'd be better off blowing your brains out. For instance your dick would stop working.

[Drewtate]

Yiu do know that Winston Churchill was a massive racist who made massive blunders in WW1& WW2 as well as chancellor that cost lives?

[ChefPapiChulo]

I don't think anyone thinks Churchill was a perfect person lol.

[Drewtate]

4 million indians were starved to death in WW2 by Churchill between 1943&44.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Yup. The British did that all over the world. Did you listen to the speech tho?

[Drewtate]

In a year when India gave the largest volunteer army in history to the British empire of 2.5 million Indians. That's possibly the biggest fuck you in history.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Indians have a horrible caste system. They do it to themselves too.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Listen to the speech chat gpt

[Drewtate]

They were starved. Food left India to go to Britain while 4 million Indians starved to death within a year. The nazis struggled to kill 6 million Jews in 5 years just to pit it into context.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Holy fuck you’re a bot.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Ask yourself this. What was the population of India at the time and how centralized were the Jewish people and do you think Jewish people weren’t trying to escape?

Chat gpt.

[Drewtate]

I'd rather die by firing squad or gas chamber than to be starved to death. Much more humane.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Why can’t you ever answer questions honestly man?

[Drewtate]

Hard to escape when you starving to death

[ChefPapiChulo]

You have an issue answering questions that destroy your terrible logic.

[Drewtate]

So you think it was OK that Winston Churchill deliberately starved 4 million subjects of the British empire?

[ChefPapiChulo]

Define deliberately monkey brain.

[ChefPapiChulo]

Once you figure that out, rewrite your sentence.

[Drewtate]

Deliberately.
consciously and intentionally; on purpose.
"the fire was started deliberately"

[ChefPapiChulo]

How did Churchill deliberately starve the Indians? I’m aware of his racism towards Indians and the supremacy he felt the anglos had over other races in the world. But I would not consider that on the same level as the Nazis.

[Drewtate]

Bad governance. Food was sent to Britain from India instead of reliving the famine in bengal

[Anonymous]

Am I losing it? Is the leftist troll advocating for private gun ownership?

Need to farm mats for the tc
