Depends on the situation. That is why I have more than one knife, rifle, shotgun, and pistol.

If I was forced to only go with one battery for all around it would be:

Rifle=====CAR15 (decent carbine, easy to carry, easy to conceal--even break down and carry in a back pack, decent rd for shoot and scoot, I have dropped deer and hogs with it--shot placement, I have a .22lr conversion for small game, spare parts, pretty available ammo and parts abound).

Pistol-----Glock 19 (reliable, accurate, easy to conceal, lt wt, ammo pretty easy to find, conversion kit in .22lr, parts are pretty available but rarely needed).

Belt blade----SOD LE (can chop, dice, tool, weapon, etc. Tough as nails, can put an edge and reprofile if need be--besides I will have an folder with me too).

Folder------Probably a bM balisong because I have had one with me for ever and even used one to field dress game.

Women Folk-----Red, brunette, black, blond, they are all good for me as long as they don't complain and like to cook <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

What Glock .22 conversion do you have? Been thinking about getting one. I have one for my Sig 226.

Question since we are mentioning rifles in this post...and not to hijack - Are bolt action rifles more accurate than semi-autos? Why? A friend at work told me that they were and that it has been proven. I don't doubt it I would just like to know why?

Thanks.

I would be uncomfortable making that generalization across the board but a lot of bolt action centerfire rifles are more accurate than a lot of semi autos I have tried. There are exceptions as with anything. A lot of times though accuracy is dictated by the trigger, most semi auto rifle triggers are not very good.

Urban:
AR-15 (compact, light ammo, effective on any mammal in my area with softpoint bullets)
Yardkeeper CG (until I get a Scrapper 5!!!!!)
Sig 226 .40 S&W (because every PD in my area has .40 cal bullets)

Rural:
AR-15 (with .22 converter for foraging)
Dogfather CG
Glock 19 9mm

I always have a Spyderco Endura and a small Swiss Army knife already in my pocket

I just got the Endura ZDP-189 - it is very nice. I already owned one in 154CM. Nice EDC though. I also got the Sage - very nice for the $$$. Neither will compare to the SYDF I just purchased from Vox though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Although that is apples to oranges.

Also a lot less moving parts in a bolt gun. I feel that it kinda boils down to if a person can shoot or not. In the hands of a trained shooter a professionally built bolt gun will out shoot the gas gun of equal quality every time.

It's also a matter of energy as well.

With a bolt action rifle, all of the energy is focused into pushing the bullet forward.

With a semi-auto or full auto, some of the energy is utilized in pushing the action backwards to prime the trigger for the next round/continue firing. With this decreased amount of energy available to push the round forward, the travel of the round will be affected in a number of ways; power and distance being only two of them.
