well I won't have anything remotely that cool cause i'm in Canada but my plan does call for me going to the US. if it truly hit the fan and I mean gone sour quickly, my plan A to survive is taking a sledgehammer to a police car and grabbing a shotgun and kevlar or looking for an armory. anything to get armed quick. lol

Are things that bad in Canada?
The material that I have read indicates that Canada may be OK. If there is a pole shift, rapid sea water flooding the continents, volcanic eruptions, or earthquakes, Canada will be OK, perhaps cold, but OK.
The question is, where will you get food to eat, and a place to stay warm?

My reasoning behind having these weapons is because;

uhm sorry if i missed it, but what was the reason again?
or are you just showing us your guns?

well where I am there is the potential for a pretty bad scenario if it all happened in quick secession.
where I live there is the possibility for a 9.0 earthquake and we could get cut off from the rest of Canada pretty easily.
I will say that there are huge asian populations, east indians, and that they all stick together.
I'm not saying they are prone to do certain things, and not all of them are the same, but from what i've seen in civil times I prepare for the worst.

Also there's the possibility if things went horribly wrong in America where a huge influx of armed Americans made there way across the border and we needed to defend ourselves from armed gangs. not impossible. hopefully unlikely.

both are equally possible in these times and would call the need to be armed.

Please review what I wrote after the semicolon, in my above quote. Reading the links that I provided might satiate your curiosity as well.
Thank you for your response.

Just so you are aware, China has almost completely phased out their AK-47 variants with domestically produced firearms using a different caliber.

Russia has also moved away from the 7.62x39 round in favor of the 5.45x39 and 9x39 rounds. However, they do still have some in use.

I was waiting for this type of comment. Yes, the type 81 does have a different caliber. During the late 1980s and early 1990s the Type 81, under designation of Type 87, served as a development platform for the next generation of PLA small arms, being used as a test-bed for 5.8 x 42 ammunition.. This 5.8 x 42 may , and I say may, supply the Type 87-1 experimental assault rifle, used to develop and test 5.8mm DBP87 cartridge for QBZ-95 ('Qing Buqiang Zu' = Light Rifles family, 1995). This was first displayed outside the PLA in 1997, when China invaded Hong Kong. The Chinese guards were armed with bullpup looking rifle. In fact it is one of an entirely new family of weapons, all designed around the same action and bullpup layout, which include the assault rifle, a shorter carbine, a light support weapon (with a bipod, a heavier barrel and large capacity magazine), and a sniper rifle. However, these guns have different body shapes and cannot be converted from one configuration to another. The QBZ-95 line of weapons is now spreading throughout the PLA, commencing with elite units. Then there is the QBZ-97 which is a 5.56 x 45, and is designed to accept a STANAG/M16 type magazine. More than likely, if we are to be invaded by China (there are soooooo many Chinese buffets), IMHO, they will carry AK’s or QBZ-97’s
Thank you for your response.

Hopefully, nothing will ever happen, and I can continue hunting and target practice with these.
