>AR15>12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun>Concealable 9mm PistolGive me (1) good reason you need more than these three guns. These three cover 99% of scenarios you would ever need a gun for.
Give me one reason you need more than rice, beans, and a few assorted vegetables to stay alive. That covers 99% of your dietary requirements for any scenario.
>>64684232Excluding the beans, I already do this.99% of my meals consist solely of chicken, rice, and a few assorted vegetables.
>>64684214>(1) good reasonCharging buffalo.
>>64684236>99% of my meals consist solely of chicken, rice, and a few assorted vegetables.You will die bored and alone.>t. getting an apple fritter out of spite.
>>64684237aim better
>>64684214I find it ironic that people brag out this being a "minimalist" loadout, yet they never go hunting or shoot skeet and thus the shotgun is entirely redundant, defeating the whole fucking point.
>>64684214>hand gunAutomatic >shotgun Pump action>Me with your wife That's automatic hump action
>>64684261>implying they use the AR either
>>64684318They at least larp with the AR.
>no .22Zoomer faux-stoicism is so fucking gay and lame
>>64684368I agreet. zoomer
>Give me (1) good reason you need more than these three gunsfun
>>64684261The most gay thing are the people buying guns for "defense". Guns are toys.
>>64684214>Give me (1) good reason you need more than these three guns. -Reason 1:"MORE DAKKA IS BEST DAKKA".
>>64684214I need a revolver or lever action to play cowboys :)
>>64684236no you don't. you also buy a 10lb bag of ground beef every week.
>>64684214>unreliable, varmin caliber>antiquated>feminine
>>64684214I need 40+ other guns to cover the other 1%
>>64684287>Assuming that OP has a significant other.You give him too much credit.
>>64684214>"need"One concealable 357mag or 10mm is all you "need" for anything other than sports where other things are banned.If you're an urbanoid, a concealable 9mm is all you need for self defense, home defense, and sport shooting at your indoor range.If you're rural, you probably need a rifle chambered in a real rifle round for proper hunting. And probably some .22s for plinking and practice.If you belong on this board, then you "need" every gun you can get.
>>64684214Those are the basic 3 that cover MOST needs, but there's a lot of other niches.>Want to hunt.ARs can't be used everywhere and 5.56mm/300 BLK aren't suitable for all game. A lightweight bolt action in 308 or potentially a more powerful caliber may be necessary depending on what is being hunted.>Long range.5.56mm tops out at about 500yd and is losing a ton of energy around 300 under ideal conditions. Theoretically the AR could be an AR-10 and accomplish multiple tasks, but there are steep trade offs.>Plinking.Ammunition costs are not as crazy as they were in 2021, but still somewhat high and most people haven't had an adequate income bump to deal with inflation. 22lr is a good way to get a lot of practice for not a lot of money. Theoretically one could convert a 5.56mm AR to 22LR with a drop in bolt and magazine. Similar conversions exist for many pistols like Glock, but it's just not as good as a standalone plinker.>Skeet/trap/bird hunting.Theoretically any shotgun CAN do that but not every shotgun can do it well. The most versatile affordable shotgun is going to be a Mossberg 500 or Maverick 88 combo gun with the interchange barrels which gets you most of the way there, but trying to shoot doubles with a pump action sucks. There's a reason why good over/unders are still popular.A lot of people just get a tactical HD shotgun and miss out on everything else that a more versatile setup can offer. Besides which the training value of being able to shoot at moving targets is incredible.
>>64684214As somebody with multiple 12gauge pumps if you are only going to have 1 shotgun dont make it a pump.You buy pump cause it's cheap. If you are limited to 1 gun you can save up to buy something worth having. A quality semi auto is better in everyway but price. You can argue oh a pump shoots every load but you don't actually do that. You do that once for fun then never again.
>>64684236>i already do this>except wait i buy a bunch of other shit tookill yourself.
>>64684214I want to kill a moose I put body armor on so I need armor piercing 7mm Remington Ultra Magnum.
>>64684214I have these three and then a 22 rifle with a nice scope just for funsies. There are lots of others I'd like but don't need to be wasting money on I suppose.
>>64684261It's exclusively video game brain.
>Nobody needs a car that goes over 60mph!Cause fuck you, that's why.
>>64684261>yet they never go huntingDo most gun owners actually not hunt? It seems like it would be the obvious next step after buying your first shotgun/rifle/etc.Both hobbies go together hand-in-hand.
>>64684214For me it's>AR-9 with a funny fart trigger>Benelli M3>Smith and Wesson Shield Plus PCThere, we have a great carry piece, loads of fun for cheap, plus technically 2 different shotguns with only 3 guns. If we're trying to maximize capability and fun with only 3, I can't think of a better lineup
>>64688746I went hunting for the first time roughly 10 years after I purchased my first gun. My dad didn't hunt, so I never learned how.
