I just finished watching the first season of Jericho, this week. It has made me think that I should turn my cistern into a shelter and stock up on weapons. I thought, "maybe it's time to get that Yugo SKS that I've been thinking about."
Then I thought, "Well, I should see what the experts have to say about this kind of preparation," so I searched Google for "accurate rifle apocalypse." The first result was a page called "PREPARING FOR THE APOCALYPSE" and suggesting the Yugo SKS.

I am just going to kidnap MacGuyver and be done with it.

Yeah, on one hand, the 7.62mmS is one of the most common rounds in the world. On the other, not so much here in the US, from what I can tell.
The Yugo SKS is actually even a little heavier than the Russian or Chinese SKS, so it's a pain to carry when running from zombies. On the other hand, it's apparently indestructable, and at nine pounds it will make an awesome club when I run out of ammo.
Masque actually said that the 92FS was "huge, heavy, and hard to maintain." If I get worried enough to get something beyond a pair of rifles, it'll be a shotgun of some sort yet to be determined and maybe a Colt 1911. I'll figure more out about then by then.
Maybe part of this problem is that I've only gotten worried enough to want to make it through season one of Jericho. After season two airs, maybe I'll be looking for a much larger arsenal.
