Have we thought it out? I think that is about ALL we do. Besides drool over each others weapons and blow money on triple redundancy.

Chinese AKM's in 7.62x39. Good for deer-sized game, or person-sized. Utterly reliable.
Glock 22. Most common LE firearm on the planet, ammo readily available.
Rem 700 30-06 w/ Leupold VXIII. Most common rifle in existence, with a caliber that you can scrounge from any country gas station. Will do what it's supposed to, just ask sgt. York.
And... a Nylon 66. Squirrels is good eatin'.

9mm, .223/5.56 and 12ga. Recently aquired a M&P 45c FDE I'd planned on trading but am really beginning to see the benefits of having one in the arsenal. Unless someone else wants it more.....

Keep it simple. 5.56 and 9mm. Common mags and parts between guns (ie Glock 9mms and ARs), etc. For .22 capabilities, I prefer a conversion kit to carrying around an entire other weapon system.
For me, the loadout is AK47(7.6X39) with a Glock 23 (40 S&W w/9MM barrel and mags back).
For the wife it's an AR15(5.56) with a Glock 27 (40S&W w/9MM barrel and mags back).
In the bag is an AR7 take-down .22 with 500 rounds of .22 and 100 rounds of 9MM. Also 3 loaded mags for the AK and AR.
That covers the two most likely rifle and two most likely pistol calibers (most likely being the ones I think will be easiest to scavenge if the need should arise) covered for defense, midsize and larger game and the .22 for small game.

I mainly have 9mm, 5.56 and 12 ga, wife has her little .38 and the big bad 590 12ga. I did get a new M&P 40c with Crimson Trace this morning..couldn't help myself.
9mm, 45acp, 22, 223, easy to find in a bad situation
