THE FOREVER GUN BOOK 10

WRAP THIS BITCH UP

The Forever Gun concept is not rocket surgery.  You need a modern smokeless powder gun with oodles and gobs of ammunition to see you through the Apocalypse and into the bright and shiny new Dark Ages.  While the few remaining barbaric hordes you run with are all switching over to crossbows and spears, tomahawks and swords beaten from auto leaf springs, you have the tactical advantage of retaining a real gun with its ammo ( not for you the depressing two shot 38 shown in the movie The Road ).  Because contrary to almost every swinging cheese dingus out there writing about our impending collapse, it isn’t at all about what kind of firearms you choose but rather, about its ammunition supply.  Just as it isn’t as important to have a few cases of freeze dried foods as it is to have an unfathomable amount of stored whole grains, so too the gun you choose is almost besides the point as long as you have thousands of rounds for it ( having a lot of semi-autos, scores of mags for them, and a pallet of ammo is NOT what I am talking about.  The ammo has to actually last you a long time.  Your lifetime.  And most likely because you will die pretty early on in the die-off, the lifetime of your descendent ).

*

The only imaginable future for most of you involves a duplication of today’s military, only set in a overcast bleak future where Constitutionalists battle evil black clad jack booted Federal thugs.  Never mind that most feds are armed desk bound fat thugs only operating on fear rather than skill.  Never mind that the Constitution was a coup by federalists overthrowing the Confederation which had strengthened the individual States rights ( and that the second Confederation, this time a little further South, was as centralistic and damaging to States rights as their Yankee counterpart ), and that every misinformed patriot championing the “sacred document” is in fact promoting the very group in power they profess to despise. 

*

No, the important part you must focus on is the stupidity of trying to duplicate today’s military.  Which is a product and servant of the Nation State and is one hundred percent reliant on the Petroleum Age it protects ( by stealing as much of others oil as it can manage-which we have all benefited from as mere unproductive and unskilled peasants feeding off the energy surplus ).  Without oil ( but of course, far more importantly, without surplus net energy which we have already lost despite an all time high by volume of oil-this is an important distinction as NET energy gain is the important part, not the amount of low energy fluids we are pumping ), today’s military is a worthless force.  Not just our tanks which get 800 feet per gallon, but the very equipment of the infantryman.  Without that extra energy, he couldn’t even keep firing his submachinegun ( let alone get to his assigned mountaintop in a foreign country ).  By seeking to emulate today’s infantry you are assuming a continued flow of surplus energy. 

*

The future is about a disruption of almost all energy, and to assume an actual surplus of said energy is the height of ignorance.  There won’t be enough of a food surplus to feed a fraction of today’s population, and you expect extra energy to continue fighting with today’s tactics?  There won’t be enough surplus fat for soap, let alone a surplus of nitrates to sacrifice fertilizer for gunpowder.  Those that adapt to the coming reality prior to its occurrence will greatly increase their odds of survival.  The Oil Age is feeding over seven billion, WITH petroleum, and a large fraction of those folks are fighting each other WITH petroleum weapons because they are already a step ahead of you into the future where the surplus food is an actual deficit already ( in something like the last eight out of ten years, the global grain production was less than consumption.  If that doesn’t scare the crap out of you, you shouldn’t pretend to be a prepper ). 

*

If you think that tinkering around with impotent rimfire rounds or anemic pistol cartridges is a waste of your time because manly men arm themselves with AR’s ( which is of course just a souped up rimfire, but never mind that right now-the point is the unwarranted worship of this turd of a weapon ) than you simply do NOT have the mental ability to embrace our future.  The future will be what reality wants, not what your wishes, dreams and desires consist of.  You may want all your petroleum luxuries to continue, but as every failed civilization in the history of agricultural has shown, resource depletion added to overpopulation equals the equivalent of a nuclear bomb crater where those bastards used to reside.  I didn’t just wake up one day and decide that I wanted to share my cynicism because misery loves company.  My job is to get as many of you as possible to increase your odds of survival in a future none wish to acknowledge. 

*

If all you can do is buy $100 worth ( at a penny a drop ) of the primer chemical they sell with that rimfire reloader ( or, percussion cap reload ), and then pry open fired shotgun primers, using homemade black powder and paper shotgun shells in your $100 single shot 12gauge shotgun, you could have a Forever Gun ( granted, don’t use this unless living in suitable terrain ).  This is the kind of outside the box thinking that you need to engage in about the future.  Dreaming about saving up for a super ninja tacti-cool AR you can use full auto against crowds of urban ghetto poor surrounding your suburban bug-in location, that is the past, not the future ( it far safer and smarter to avoid mobs than to battle them ).  Get away from crowds, focus on calories rather than taste, think in terms of ammo rather than guns, and concentrate on deprivation rather than luxury. 

*

You can use ANY pistol round for your Forever Gun, not just what I have focused on for illustrative purposes.  ( I hate the 9mm and prefer a 38 revolver, although I don’t like the lever action guns all that much-but that is just personal preference )( to get the longevity of a 9mm case-the 38 case is not as robust with thinner walls- you can stay with 357 cases.  You’ll have to trim them down to fire in a 38, however.  I’d advise just sticking with 357 guns and loading lower power ).  As long as they make a gun for it you are comfortable with.  Or you can go other routes.  The important part is that the destination you arrive at is a future with enough ammunition to last you a very long time.  Do NOT think like a “prepper” stockpiling for a three week electricity disruption.  Those fools get to have the cake of semi-autos and MRE’s and eat at the petroleum forever table.  Be a civilization collapsing survivalist.  Real civilization collapse of Malthusian proportions, not the Hollywood cavalry to the rescue one.
